Which one should I buy as I am in need of a centre back but vertonghen and jerome boateng are versatile.Thanks. I would go for vertonghen if you are looking for versatility, I have used vertonghen my Borrusia dortmund team and he has been great as back up for defence and defensive midfielder. He also is a great free kick taker Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chicharito14 13 Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Re: Jan Vertonghen or Jerome Boateng?Need Help... Ok thanks.But Jerome Boateng is playing in the Bundesliga while Vertonghen is playing for Dutch League.Since Bundesliga is more competitive than Dutch League,should I still buy Vertonghen?This is like Luis Suarez when he was playing for Ajax and he was scoring like almost every matches but his ratings didnt go up becoz of the level of the Dutch League.

He is a great ball playing CB and has been said to be the natural successor when Puyol retires. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BroodRoosterNL 10,833 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Re: Jan Vertonghen or Jerome Boateng?Need Help... Vertonghen will most likely leave Ajax, maybe this winter and most certainly next summer. Spurs and Arsenal have shown interest and Chelsea might follow. Once he goes to a bigger club there's pretty much no doubt he'll rise (unless he doesn't play of course ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gozzy 10,758 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Re: Jan Vertonghen or Jerome Boateng?Need Help... for now, Boateng plays for better club in a competitive league but i rate Vertonghen higher than Boateng. Boateng still show some silly mistakes in several matches this season and i'm sure Vertonghen rating can only go up if he moves from Ajax Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Which one should I buy as I am in need of a centre back but vertonghen and jerome boateng are versatile.Thanks. I would go for Vertonghen , many big clubs are following him .

MammaPoor 18 Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Re: Jan Vertonghen or Jerome Boateng?Need Help... Jerome Boateng. Better club and better International. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Germany2014WC 669 Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Re: Jan Vertonghen or Jerome Boateng?Need Help... Vertonghan will be the better option eventually since all the big clubs want him, and he will proly peak at 92/93, whereas Boateng proly won't rise for a while, even if he does. And this is Germany's usual back 4. They can never find a right back since Lahm usually plays on the left side for Germany. However, Howedes and Schmelzer are the leading candidates for that position. But, Schmelzer was hurt, and Howedes played decent in the qualifiers. Howedes-----Hummels-----Mertesacker-----Lahm By 2014, you really fancy Badstuber to become Hummels's main CB partner, and might do it as early as EURO 2012. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nabu 502 Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Re: Jan Vertonghen or Jerome Boateng?Need Help... I don't know why everyone prefers Vertonghen. Yes, he is good. Yes, he is one of the best defenders in the Eredivisie. BUT #1: He will probably not rise at Ajax BUT #2: Therefor his rating will not change until Decembre 2012 BUT #3: IF he should move in summer, nobody knows to which club, how this club performs, how Vertonghen performs and so on. Boateng: Starter for Bayern (mostly RB, sometimes CB) Regular player for Germany, mostly as a starter (Höwedes is his only competitor for the RB) Bayern is doing great this season Germany is doing great this year So: Who is the better option? If you can, get both (Vertonghen is extremely versatile if he keeps his Def/DM). But if I had to choose between those two I would always pick Boateng. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BUT #1: He will probably not rise at Ajax True BUT #2: Therefor his rating will not change until Decembre 2012 Not true BUT #3: IF he should move in summer, nobody knows to which club, how this club performs, how Vertonghen performs and so on. Its possible he moves this winter, Spurs have shown (great) interest, so have Arsenal and Chelsea's being rumored. If he moves this winter he could rise by the end of the season, if he moves in the summer and keeps up his game with Ajax he'll have to wait until December, but that's not sure. Boateng: Starter for Bayern (mostly RB, sometimes CB) Regular player for Germany, mostly as a starter (Höwedes is his only competitor for the RB) Bayern is doing great this season Germany is doing great this year So: Who is the better option? If you can, get both (Vertonghen is extremely versatile if he keeps his Def/DM). But if I had to choose between those two I would always pick Boateng. Only thing that surprises me is that Vertonghen still has Def/DM as he pretty much (unless there's an injury) always plays CB at Ajax, must be because of his position in the Belgian squad But anyways, in the end Vertonghen will most likely end up rated higher so you could go for short term Boateng, or for long term Vertonghen. In the end Jan would be the better choice as both are rated 90 and both have imo an equal chance on reaching 91 somewhere 2012. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But we will see, I already made my decision and bought Boateng in Octobre (when Vertonghen was rated higher than Boateng). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
