Aston Villa recently acquired the services of the Feyenoord Rotterdam duo, and the 34-year-old versatile stopper has insisted that former Rotterdammers duo were among the best players playing in Eredivisie last season.
“I think Ron will do really well because he is a really good player. He will be someone who his fellow defenders will like playing alongside and the fans will like him too. It will be nice to follow his progress. El Ahmadi - I
think he was one of the best players in the Dutch league. He is a really, really good player and I think he is going to do really well as well”, Bouma was quoted as saying to the media.
The Rotterdammers finished second on the Eredivisie table in the 2011/12 season, and Vlaar and El Ahmadi undoubtedly played an important part in their side’s impressive performances throughout the campaign.

earn UEFA Champions League ticket.
“Ron and Karim were huge for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Feyenoord-c39258 in helping them reach the Champions League. Ron was the best defender in the Dutch league and Karim was doing it in the midfield. They both had really good seasons and that is why they can
make the big step to Villa”, the former Villa stopper concluded.
Vlaar has plenty of experience under his belt, notching up more than 100 league appearances since making his debut in the 2004/05 season at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571 Alkmaar.
El Ahmadi, on the other hand, has played close to 200 league matches, and would be keen to help his new side in achieving a top-half finish on the English Premier League table in the 2012/13 campaign.
