Top prospects in each age group. My top 5 atm would probably Frenkie de Jong, Justin Kluivert, Mathijs de Ligt, Daishawn Redan and Orkun Kokcu in some order. Xavi Simons and Naci Unuvar are both supertalents but have a long way to go. Chelsea just signed Braaf (they can start ****ing off any time they want buying and ruining Dutch talents). Groeneveld is a really interesting case because he seems to have all the tools to be a really good player but didn't break out until playing in the Dutch 2nd division (Mertens took a similar route, fwiw).
I don't rank keepers because it's too hard to judge them before they get to the top level (imo).
In 4 years I'd love for our NT to have some variation of this:
TFM - de Ligt - van Dijk - Bakker
van de Beek - de Jong - Vilhena
Bergwijn - Redan - Kluivert
