Jan Vertonghen completes Tottenham move from Ajax
Last updated on .From the section Football

Tottenham Hotspur have signed defender Jan Vertonghen from Ajax after he completed the formalities of his move.
Belgium international Vertonghen, 25, becomes new manager Andre Villas-Boas's second signing after Gylfi Sigurdsson.
Tottenham have refused to disclose how much they have agreed to pay for Vertonghen, who had a year left on his contract in Amsterdam.
They had seen two bids rejected as Ajax wanted £12m for the centre-half who made 220 appearances for Ajax.
A Tottenham statement read: "We are delighted to announce that Jan Vertonghen has completed his transfer from Ajax after successfully passing his medical."
The 2011-12 Dutch player of the year will offer Villas-Boas more defensive options with Ledley King's future still uncertain and Ryan Nelsen having moved to QPR.
Spurs had been tracking the Belgium defender, who captained Ajax to their second successive Eredivisie title last season, for some time.
He scored 10 times in 37 games for Ajax last season and was named their player of the year.

"remind me what England won in the 70s and 80s when there were hardly any foreigners player in the league"
At that time the best English teams were dominated by Scots & Irish players. Dalglish, Souness, Hanson, Brady, Strachan, Bremner, O'Neill, Lawrenson, Jordon & Whiteside to name but ten - but I could name another 100 non-English players from that era.
Right! please remind me what England won in the 70s and 80s when there were hardly any foreigners player in the league.
At least modric, bale, VDV and co haven't started looking elsewhere after realising they'll be playing plumbers in estonia for the Euro Cup, yet........
But are these players guys he rates highly himself or just names left behind on a dossier by HR?
And does he have his own targets?

so many experts who know jack about anything. Levy may have got a few things wrong, but it will never be a Rangers, because he runs it like a business.

Perhaps thats why you haven't won the league in 51 years.
Good luck.
As for the topic Vertonghen, looks like a good signing, of course we always have to wait and see as even some of the best players in the premier league need a season or so to settle.
As for AVB he needs to be given a chance to see what he can do.
I said earlier - u lot never learn... and i'm right. its that simple.
I also seem to remember Vermaelen saying in an article a few months back that he wanted him to sign for Arsenal!
