Re: Former Ajax Players
I still think he's a decent defender. But not suitable for the Ajax game. Having to defend with 60 meters behind you, means running and being agile. His stature doesn't help him. In Torino I think he plays in a 3man defense, a more static type, which is better for him. The same goes for Botman. He's definitely a very good player, but could be really exposed in an Ajax/City/Arsenal type of game. Still, do we have a resale percentage?

Re: Former Ajax Players
I think Alvarez plays on the right side when he is paired with Timber. Schuurs came on several times last year and played on the left side replacing Martinez. In retrospect, letting Schuurs go was a wrong decision.

Re: Former Ajax Players
Viktor Fischer has retired at age 29. He was immensely talented but suffered a serious hamstring injury in 2014 that forced him to miss almost an entire season. He never had the explosiveness after that and moved on from Ajax to several other clubs.

Re: Former Ajax Players
Sad to see Fischer retire. He had immense potential, but like Orange14 said, he was never the same player after he came back from that injury.
Re: Former Ajax Players
Wow is Daley Blind having a very fine season with Girona. The central defender is starting every match and his team is atop La Liga having defeated Barca yesterday, 4-2.
