Mounir El Hamdaoui

[SPL]

My paper today says Blackburn have spoken to him and hope to sign him.Lets hope so.

[rjf1]

Seems like half the world and his dog have "spoken to him." I wish he would make a move and get it over with already.

[souras84]

maybe selling him might earn us the money for 1-2 transfers?

I would be stunned, surprised and run for the bank if we get anything over €4M for him (which is less than we paid). He's just not worth that much (unfortunately)

but Ajax is asking for 5m

[SPL]

Frank de Boer states Blackburn and Lille have enquired so they are not just rumours. Article on VI says we will only buy another forward when el Ham goes.

[Blind3]

I hope we buy a forward AND a center back .

[Orange14]

I just saw a tweet that he is going on loan to Espanyol. Don't know anything more.

[Blind3]

Google Translator from Ajax Netwerk Latest on MeH Sweepstakes:

Ajax can be a long night. "We are still a few clubs in negotiating a transfer of Mounir", said Blind know in talking to Voetbal International. "It's a complicated story, as all three parties - the player and the two clubs - in line to get stuck. Unfortunately it's not far that we can now expect to be there within half an hour blow on them. "

Make of this what you will .

- Not sure - VI reported an agreement, but then it was removed again...

Just fell for the joke....

[Amol]

Hoping that this saga is over and we're done with this issue.

[cdnajaxfan]

I heard a rumor that he is going to Espanyol. Any truth to that?

No

Transfermarket in Russia and Turkey still open for 5 days, so there's still hope!

Once those transfer dealines close then El H and Aissati can rot in our Jong team until January . Not sure what we wil get for El H then, imo probably see him go out on loan and next summer a transfer for max 2m . Aissati just wait until Jan and try and unload him for next to nothing .

[Philippe]

According to Parool.nl Ajax still hope to transfer El Hamdaoui to a Russian club.

[Philippe]

Or to the Turkish club Trabzonsport ...

[SPL]

So he and Aissati are now demoted to our Jong team up until January when hopefully they will go.( I imagine Aissati will find somewhere else then as his contract only runs to June
although we wont get any money for him.) Ajax wont pay them off .

El H has had about 4 months to find another club and has failed to do so . I quess come the January window Ajax certainly wont be asking 5m euros but probably nearer 3m which may attract some club to come in and pay his wages of 1.8m euros p. a.

Maybe we will have to get rid of him the Cvitanich way ie we loan him out for 2 years and the other club pays his wages although they cannot afford a transfer fee.


A complete mess up being left with an unwanted first teamer on big wages and a contract to June 2014.

One day someone should tell what really happened between him and the trainer. It has to be something really bad, 'cause otherwise the problem should have been solved in a way or another. Tremendous unprofessional attitude this guy, but a good footballer we are renouncing to. I find us a very good team, but maybe missing some class and impredictability upfront: that class we lost with the departing of suarez. well, if el ham would ever have wanted to play football for this shirt, he would have been very important for us. things have gone very different from what I dreamed.

[SPL]

I read earlier in the week he was not fit to train although he is now off on Int duty. However I wonder how Ajax are so called getting away with sticking him in the reserves for training. I only ask because the press over here are saying Man city wont be able to leave Tevez in the reserves for training and if he does not play in 10% of the games he can sue for restaint of trade .

so the fact EL Ham has been stuck in our Jong squad for training for the last 3 months must mean they have different rules than in England!!

Turning to the January transfer window El H could be playing in the African Nations Cup which lasts about 3 weeks so any new team may not see much of him before mid Feb.
I do not think we will sell him then but if lucky we may loan him somewhere.

[Flipster81]

I think we should bite the bullet and release him, along with Silva & Aissati. I know it will cost some money but they will want to go so we could do a deal.

I feel sorry for Aissati, I like him as a player. Under MvB I thought he looked promising, then at Vitesse he did well, just cannot perform at the biggest club.

I hope someday we will get to find out the truth about the Moonie saga.

[Philippe]

Mounir transfered to Espanyol Barcelona. Thanks for the nice goals, and good luck !

[orange goblin]

is it almost official? can't find too much, as far as I read they want to make him train with them just now and completre the deal in january. is my translation correct?

[Philippe]

AT5 seemed to consider the deal done. He should go straight to Barcelona and train there. Then play after the winter break :
