New Players for Ajax

[Pablo.V]

Absolutley great!! Feyenord signed Joris Mathijsen for 3 years. He was the last realistic solution to our defence problems, a left centre back with lots of expirience.We are absolutley suck in terms of transfer activity!! We could have brought both Mathijsen and Boulharuz for almost nothing but we didn't.
Verthongen is gone for a month but nothing has been done since then to replace him. And now we will probably lose Anita right before the season start and the transfer window closing. What the fuck? We are a top club in Holland but we act like absolute amatures.

[Khraa]

You don't want Mathijssen. For the game Ajax is playing he is far to slow. The only problem with him going to Feyenoord is that he is a good player for the catenaccio Koeman likes to play.

[rjf1]

Seems like we have nothing for a scouting system. Even the lower teams manage to find players from Africa, South America, Asia, etc. Aside from Ajax Cape Town we never seem to find anyone -- a decent scouting system should be able to find a hidden jewel somewhere in the rest of the world.

He's also had a number of injuries in the last two years. I think it's even money that he doesn't play in 1/2 of the matches this season.

Speaking of injuries , this Eredivisie Live bit appeared on An :

EL: Belangstelling Ajax voor Barcelona verdediger Fontas Prat

Ajax onderzoekt of het zich snel kan versterken met Andreu Fontas Prat van FC Barcelona. Dat meldt de Spaanse krant Sport, die Marc Overmars zaterdag in Boekarest tegen kwam. De 22-jarige verdediger kampte de afgelopen jaren met veel blessureleed.

TRANSLATOR SAY :

EL: Interest Ajax for Barcelona defender Fontas Prat Ajax examines whether it can quickly strengthen Andreu Fontas Prat Barcelona FC. Reports that the Spanish newspaper Sport, Marc Overmars who met Saturday in Bucharest. The 22-year-old defender struggled in recent years with many injuries. More: Eredivisie Live

Great , another guy with injury issues. Lets sign him. He should fit right in.

[Orange14]

I'm not sure that Fontas was injured all that much last year. He played mostly for the Barcelona 'B' team which plays in the Spanish second division but was called up for first team action and played in one league, one champions league, and two world club championship matches. I'm not sure that Barca want to send him out on loan given how short they are in the back line at this point (I honestly thought they would make a run for Vertonghen). If he does come over, won't it be one of the first loan players that we have taken in a long while? I can't remember the last one.

[aveslacker]

I remember we took Kerlon on loan a few years back. He was supposed to be another Pato, but was hurt and never amounted to anything.

[Philippe]

VI reports that Barcelona would be willing to lend Ajax Andreu Fontás (CD) and Jonathan Dos Santos (M). What about these two guys ?

[Blind3]

From Het Parool via translator :

The provisional figures for the ricochet of the transfer of Oussama Assaidi to Ajax from Heerenveen have come out. The winger demands according to Voetbal International in Amsterdam an annual salary of 1.6 million, while the champion does not want to go further than 1.1 million.

Assaidi irons currently in Heerenveen on an annual salary of 350,000 euros. That would mean that he requires an increase of over 350% compared to his current salary.


This puts the Assaidi affair in some perspective for me. Sounds like Ajax would be showing a heap of good faith by going from 350,000 to 1.1 mil for a player with promise. Whatever happened to proving yourself at a higher level ?

[Pablo.V]

Wow!! If that's the case although i really wanted him to come, now i believe that he is a potential
trouble maker (a la Mounir El Hamdaoui). If all he want is money he should go to Russia. We offer him a big increase in salary, champions league
football and playing for one of the greatest football clubs in history. If that's not enough we just don't need him!!!

[kezme44]

let the fucker rott at hereenveen

[acab]

let the fucker rott at hereenveen

[Amol]

let the fucker rott at hereenveen

[Tom_]

Raiola?

[Blind3]

Raiola is out for Raiola . Assaidi deserves to paid , but 1.1 mill would be a 750,000 euro raise. Hardly chump change.

[rjf1]

I think this guy is in outer space with a wage demand like that -- given our financial situation, even 1.1 mil is more than we should be offering. Coming from his current salary of 350 K, Ajax should offer no more than double. If he thinks he is worth more, let him show it on the pitch. Depending on how he performs, they can renegotiate accordingly at the end of the first year.

That said, at this point I think it would be a big mistake to even talk about bringing this player to Ajax. If we don't give him what he wants, he will not be happy with what he gets and his spirit will not be 100% with the team. We don't need someone like that on the pitch or in the dressing room.

[Blind3]

Trnslated from Algemeen Dagblad :


Assaidi still hopes to Ajax, "reports the 1.6 million nonsense '

August 15, 2012

In the Algemeen Dagblad said Oussama Assaidi reports that 1.6 million in salary he would require "all nonsense". "That's really not true. If I had chosen for the money, I was went abroad. "

"But I would not go abroad, but remain with my family in Amsterdam. I never made ​​a secret of my desire to play football for Ajax and I still hope it continues. We are still talking, the transfer is certainly not thrown back. "

[afcajax73]

Assaidi signed for Liverpool tonight pending a medical

[souras84]

hahahahaha

I WANT REVENGE ON ALL THESE WORTHLESS PUNKS

[orange goblin]

It's going worse and worse. Although I think we have good wingers and we have other emergencies in the squad (LCB; DM)
"Technical Heart" it's time to move!

[King Litti]

So,

Out: Verhoeven, Aissati, Ooijer, Bulykin, Lodeiro, Vertonghen, El Hamdaoui, Cvitanich, Özbiliz, Anita+Janssen?
in: Schöne, Sana, Boccara.

There's something not quite right here.

Eventhough the game against AZ wasn't all bad.

[SPL]

As posted above Assaidi said he was not asking for 1.6m pa and wants to stay in Amsterdam with his family. The last time I looked Liverpool was nowhere near Amsterdam and in a different country .Why cant these players be honest they just want to go for the most money nothing else.

Maybe he is better than what we have but at this moment we have 6 wingers in our 1st team squad and I think aCD ,a DM and a spare striker are more important to buy .Have a feeling we will be sticking to youth ie Boccara and Sporkslede for Anita, Denswil or Blind for Vertoghen, Siem can play striker so thats it .

[kezme44]

glad he is going to liverpool and ajax didnt get a chance to sign him

we don't need the fucker at ajax. totally could have turned into another mounir

have fun sitting on the bench at liverpool, you fuck. and playing in the EL

[souras84]

1) Raiola as I said before has his sole puprose to destroy Ajax!!!

2) Let's make the right decisions from now on

3) I also believe the morrocan was after the money...

3) I also believe the morrocan was after the money...

Hey guys, does this surprise any of you? Come on and get a grip, the English league teams have more money coming in from TV revenues each year than the entire Ajax salary budget. We cannot compete against this. As the famous quote in Jerry Maguire states, "...show me the money..." so goes modern football. It's reality and the sooner everyone comes to grips with this the better. Even the Spanish teams other than Barca and Madrid cannot keep their players.
