NDJ is a very good player but imagination and playmaking are not his stronest attributes. He needs to be playing with a creative midfielder in the middle. He is a true destroyer who the bigger teams cannot handle.

You don't need imagination or playmaking ability, passing ability, giving an effective outlet to your team mates and moving up and down the pitch with play would help for basics.
It's said by his supporters that it's his job to get the ball and give it to a midfielder that can pass. Unfortunately for NDJ he plays so deep he can't pass to his buddy in midfield because he can't pass forwards, I wonder sometimes how he manages to pass water!

What fantastic player is he keeping out of the Dutch team exactly, will they win the world cup?............No
Are Holland lauded for their defensive prowess?..............No
Why won't Holland win the world cup?...............Because they have a slow, imobile weak link called De Jong may be the reason.
Barry would get in their team in that position if he was dutch because he's a better player than De Jong.
You are obviously limited in intellect and just trot out the usual flawed logic in defense of something in which you have been brain washed into believing.
Watch what De Jong does and have an idea of what you want from a player and the two don't match up.
He's shit!
There's not a manager in Europe that would give us our money back on him!

He's so sh*t, he's one of the first picks for Holland, as he was for Hamburg and Ajax before that, blah blah...

Of course, I must 'limited in intellect' because you say Barry is better! That's enough for most people! Don't think you've actually stated why Barry is better, yet.

*puts feet up*

This'll be good...

Covers more ground, makes more tackles, intercepts more passes, much more positive passing, more assist, more goals. to be honest barry's just about better than de jong at everything apart from bicylce kick clearences and unecessary slide tackles.

it will be when the only pass you make is back to the centre half or to the full back and most of the time putting them under pressure forcing them to hoof the ball forward.

I like De Jong. At Ajax he played a different role as more of a box-to-box midfielder, he also played right-back a fair few times. For the Netherlands at Euro 2008, he got forwards alot and would test the keeper with a shot, in the match against Russia, in extra time he was the only Dutch player who could run, he had great energy and covered so much ground. De Jong can pass the ball well, I've yet to see a Dutch player who is a bad passer. I also remember one match in the WC qualifiers against Iceland, and he scored, with a header. Its the instructions he's given by Mancini, to protect the back 4 and break up play. He can get more forwards if he wants to, but the manager has assigned him a certain role, different from the one he plays for Holland, and previously at Ajax.
