To be fair, if you went back over 50 years for over time comparisons and asked which league produced or even helped develop the best 20 players, the Dutch would beat the English 20-0.
I'm not sure about that. Some of the best Dutch players in recent times peaked over here & outside those, other than Cruyff, I'm not sure how many would be swapped for George Best or Gerrard or Bell or even Shearer or Lampard etc.
The thing that makes it a good place for loans nowardays imo is that it's shit, so there's a decent chance players will get a game. If Jack can perform at the same level in a proper league he'll be nailed on.
