OK I haven't seen him play yet but after the Ajax-city game both Rio and Gary Neville tweeted about this guy.

RIO: "Ajax RB was quality tonight, modern data full-back"

Gary: "1st time I've seen van Rhijn in the flesh. Quick, Mobile RB, already capped by Holland, 21 years"
 
Rick van Rhijn sounds like Cockney Rhyming Slang.

He was very good tonight, but I do think that was exacerbated slightly by City's complete inability to cover their left hand side. Clichy could be outnumbered by three to one at times, and if it was wasn't for a lack of vision or for their finishing, Ajax would've scored more.

Promising from him, but he'd need to do it against better-equipped sides.
 
I was impressed with him, albeit he didn't have a whole lot to do against a woeful City side.
 
Saw a bit of him last night, but its always hard to tell. I mean Van Der Wiel was getting hyped up previously. They sell him and the new guy comes in and now its his turn?
 
Was very good, I was at the match last night in Amsterdam with some Dutch friends and they all say that he is their best young player. Looked very confident on the ball, not afraid at all to make runs and also hold the ball under pressure or find the best pass.
 
I thought there RB is Aldeweireld? or is he playing CB now.
