Players Leaving Ajax

[Orange14]

The Daily Mirror is saying that Chelsea want Ajax right-back Gregory van der Wiel. The number being thrown around is £18m.

Yes, but this would not be until next summer at the earliest. Two reasons, Alex is injured and they really need help in the central defense (priority mentioned by Ancelotti) and second, Bosingwe is out of contract this June and the club probably wants to go with someone younger and maybe less expensive.

Urby: Should I stay or should I go?

More like Urby will leave for Liverpool this month than Suarez. Do not see them paying 25m euros for a player when the whole club is in a mess and no CL football next season. From what Redknapp is saying I do not think Spurs will buy him this month either.

Milan want Eriksen apparently:

Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport says AC Milan are 'preparing a summer raid on Ajax for the Danish inside-forward Christian Eriksen but will face competition from England.

Sounds less like a reality and more like "I'd love to have this dance -- if only someone would ask me."

Eriksen has said to day he is not interested in going to Milan and wants to stay at Ajax which is the best place for him to develop. No surprise at all in that.

Urby Emanuelson on his way to Ac Milan
Probably he goes now, if i read properly.

[Rooie]

VI reports a direct transfer.

[SPL]

Reading through all the reports it looks like he will go immediately. If we can get 2 or 3 m that will be good business. Blind looked ok at left back the other night, hard to judge because the opposition was dire!! Still do not think Urby is a good enough defender and better as an attacker but we have one or 2 young left footed wingers coming through .

More news today that Atouba will leave this week and Suk will go on loan and if I read it properly he wont return.

Finally can anyone explain why Tainio is still here ? Sunderland are still paying his wages for the season and we are only paying him a small amount .With Bonevacia and Anita I do not think we need Lindgren let alone Tainio.

I've seen a number of Twitter messages this morning that Emanuelson is going to Milan at the end the year on a free transfer but also that the club might want him now. It would be good to get at least something for him even if it's only a €1 M. Danny Blind looked quite lively in the match on Wednesday and is a capable replacement.

[kezme44]

my understanding is that he's leaving at the end of the season. but if the mafia wants him now, i say they can have him. at least we get some cash, and we won't pay his salary for another half year. there are plenty of others who can fill his spot.

stupid career move for him. have fun warming the bench...

[Orange14]

This is what just came across from Ernst Bouwes twitter account: "Emanuelson joins AC Milan immediately after the clubs settle on € 1,7 mln fee, up maybe to € 2.5 if ACM win the scudetto." I'm not sure I believe this as according to the Ajax site, Urby is in the matchday roster for tomorrow against Utrecht.

Urby, don't let the door hit you in the arse. I hear the Milan bench is heated. On his day , he could strike a wonder goal with the best. But, those days were few and far between . That and his defense skills made me glad I had Pepto Bismol on hand.

[SPL]

he is leaving next week for 1.7 m euros could be 2.5m if Milan are champs. He is having a farewell appearance tomorrow ,probably come on for 5 mins. Good luck to him in Milan he will sit on the bench alot I think.

With the money Ajax can pay off Atouba Tainio Sno and Bodul all are surplus and I do not want them hanging around playing for the Jong .

Bordeaux fancy El Ham. according to reports . If Suarez stays and I am now thinking he might then maybe Ajax will unload El H . He gives the appearance of not wanting to play here any more , does he still have flu or bad throat?

[kezme44]

apparently jaap stam made the recommendation to ac milan to sign urby, really bizzare. didn't see that one coming. but 1.7 million with the potential to go to 2.5 is music to my ears

[Philippe]

Goodbye Urby ! And good luck .We'll miss you.

Curious to have a farewell appearance in an away match. I guess we will know for sure early next week.

[SPL]

That was the suggestion of why he is in the squad. I assume he may get 5mins .

I always liked Urby as a player -- his shooting skills could stand some improving, but he always gave everything he had, and while not the greatest defender, in the games I watched him in he was decent enough -- he was never as terrible as some people make him out to be.

Have to agree with the sentiment that it is a mistake to go to Milan, though. Along with the money, he will also get lots of splinters in his butt from sitting on the bench. Seems like these young players never learn from the sad experience of the ones who have gone before.

So, goodbye -- I hope it works out better than what it looks like to me.

^^^ This.

Goodbye Urby, and good luck. Thanks for all the memories.

From ESPN Soccernet: Mido has joined Egyptian side Zamalek after his stay at Ajax turned sour. Too bad really as we could use him as a target man these days!

Rumour that Willem may loan Suk and I do expect Bodul will get a loan this week also.
Injuries may stop some others on my list ie. Cvitanich is out for afew weeks and wont go but Silva has a shoulder injury and the OS injury list shows Tainio has a hamstring injury so those 2may not go.
Silva of course is a problem in that his contract runs to 2012 . The other fringe player who I think should go on loan is Donald but he injured a hamstring way back in early December with the Jong and may still be injured.

Bottom line we may have to wait for the end of the season for the big clear out.

[Orange14]

Rumour that Willem may loan Suk

Isn't there some kind of salary issue with Suk because he is an imported player? I recall (vaguely) seeing something that if we do loan him and then bring him back we have to pay him the full salary that all foreign players are eligible for rather than the smaller amount we currently pay.

[Justin]

I think his contract will expire in July 2011.
