New Players for Ajax

[SPL]

Just reading about him ,he is a Cameroon born and several english clubs have been looking at him. So clearly rated and good we have got him.

Next season V d Hart,currently on loan at Go Ahead Eagles wont come back to sit on the bench or play for Jong.

Our Jong Ajax goalies will be Onana, Groothuizen from our youth and either Leeuwenburgh or Mous both out injured this season for several weeks. Leeuwenburgh is rated so could go on loan ,Alblas also a Jong is out long term injured until late in the year.

Sinkgraven is thought to be signing for us this month

[Amol]

Just read about Onana as well. Only thing I know about him was that he was really good in their games against us in the youth CL games.

[Orange14]

Daily Star in England are reporting that Ajax have won the race for Norwegian youth starlet Martin Odegaard who has already received a call up to the Norwegian NT at the age of 15. I'll believe this when a contract is signed.

[souras84]

You are right! Cause there are rumors about him since September... Afterall, he might stay 3-4 years in Amsterdam and then play his best in a major-rich European club.

[SPL]

We have signed a 17 year old Danish striker from Silkeborg called Kasper Dolberg ,he joins in July and has signed a 3 year contract to 2018.We have getting on for 10 strikers aged between 17 and 19.We need to find some more defenders in this age group.

[Tom_]

Or we could just re-invert the pyramid and play with 10 strikers ;)

[SPL]

The new kid Dolberg is shown to play on the right wing so we now have about 10 wingers and thus only 9 strikers.

[SPL]

Onana has joined us already and not in July.I read Barca were not going to play him again this season and as we
only have to pay a training fee he has joined this month.

[Orange14]

The Michael Odegaard saga is not yet over. He hasn't signed with Madrid or anyone else thus far. Our former midfielder Michael Laudrup weighed in today suggesting that he play in The Netherlands for four years where he can get first team football. I still think Ajax are a long shot to sign him and perhaps with the current youth coming through we really don't need him.

[Dave the mac]

Yeah the Odegaard transfer is a continuing drama.... Hope he comes to Ajax, I think it's doubtful but ya never know.

There is talk also about a young defender from AZ, Wesley Beware. Cool name for a big defender!

[aveslacker]

IIRC it looks like Odegaard signed with Real. Shame.

Yes he did and the question is whether he will ever play first team football there. http://www.espnfc.us/blog/the-toe-poke/ ... -obscurity is very instructive about failed youth prospects. Of course the #1 is my home town club's former wunderkind, Freddy Adu who is now out of football at the age of 25. Interestingly there is a former Ajax player, Sonny Pike, also on the list and I must confess to not knowing about this one.

[aveslacker]

Ahh, Freddy. Amazing technical skills, but the tactical ability of a 12-year-old and the life judgment of a teenager.

Shame.

Sinkgraven joins us as of now. Fee of 6.5 million euros. Will sign a 5-year contract.

[SPL]

good news as he is rated a very talented player and the rich clubs have been looking at him.

Andersen probably should start looking for a new club.

[Rooie]

Confirmation by Heerenveen, part of the deal is Duarte moving on a loan deal to Heerenveen.

[SPL]

FDB wants to keep Andersen and said he will get a new contract. We need another attacking midfielder you cannot have just Klaassen and Andersen in your squad.

Only seen a glimpse of Sinkgraven. Really don't have a clear picture of his skills. Anyone seen more of him? Strengths/weaknesses? To what known player would you compare him? 6,5 million seems like a fairly big amount for such an inexperienced player so he must have great potential. Hope he lives up to the expectations.

I can't say I know much about this fellow, but I won't be sorry to see less of Andersen for now.

From the youtube videos which I've seen of Sinkgraven, he doesn't seem to get pushed off the ball very easily. Does possess a good through ball as well.

[Ayman]

We also have Donny van de Beek coming through the youth ranks. So we are not short of attacking midfielders
