Re: New Players for Ajax
I agree. He's a solid aggressive midfielder, but at best he'll bring additional strength in depth to our squad which is already too big.

Re: New Players for Ajax
I think he's better than Lindgren and definitely better than Blind (sorry, I don't see it in the kid). But better than Enoh and Gabri...? Not sure. I agree that a midfielder like De Zeeuw was not really what we needed.Orange14 schreef:WHY???? Are we that in need of another midfielder? Don't get me wrong, he is a good player but is he that much better than Enoh, Blind, Lindgren, etc. that we should be spending money?
But hey: Ajax are still after a defender (Sebastián Coates, 1.96 metres tall defender of Uruguay's Nacional) and a striker (Keirrison, who just moved from Palmeiras to Barcelona, but will be loaned out). If you happen to understand Portugese, here's an article from Brazil's El Globo.

Re: New Players for Ajax
I think De Zeeuw is a good player and hopefully the experience is something that we wouldn't have been able to get out of someone else. I guess keeping in mind Gabri is 30 (seems like he was picking up injuries last year too), I'm more comfortable with it. I would still have rather used that kind of money (7.5M) to get another defender.
Good news that we're still trying on that, though.

Re: New Players for Ajax
I think we need somebody with a little more experience than Coates, the kid is talented but still has a lot to learn, he is very mistake prone when under pressure....take a look....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQBVxz85pfQ he had a horrible game at the worst possible time. Still maybe i'm being to hard on the guy, he could always learn a lot at Ajax.Kowalczyk schreef:I think he's better than Lindgren and definitely better than Blind (sorry, I don't see it in the kid).

Re: New Players for Ajax
For me, he's the better defensive midfielder than Enoh and Gabri, but i agree, that this position wasn't our weakest place. Still, i'll be glad if we will sign him. But then we definetly should sell some midfielders. Lindgren and Sno i would say. We will harm AZ if we will sign him, so it's double benefitKowalczyk schreef:I think he's better than Lindgren and definitely better than Blind (sorry, I don't see it in the kid).

I hope he stays the whole season, but things seem to change around December. I would just hope the possible new signing this isn't Bruno Silva, Act II.

This guy aint even close to bruno Silva...he's 10 times better.
Lugano is one kick ass defender...he's the Captain of the Uruguayan nacional team. A fucking rock at the back and a force in the air.
If we get him i think we would be all set....Grab him while we can !!!!!

Re: New Players for Ajax
last night was a funny game for bruno silva, i was sitting there one minute thinking, he looks really good... going forward play making, nice crosses from time to time, then the next thing i know he costs us two stupid goals.. what a defencive clown
Re: New Players for Ajax
Daily Star in Uk gives a headline we are after Gareth Bale a left back from Spurs and will let them have Darko Bodul on loan . Now I do hope this is a windup as last week Jol said Bodul could go out on loan but he did not want him to sit on the bench. He would not even get on the Spurs bench. If he goes and looks good at Spurs he wont return and they will get a decent talent for nothing.
Do not see why we need another left back having signed Atouba.We need another central defender .

Re: New Players for Ajax
this has been on a few dutch sites too.. i dont think he should be loaned out to england.. too much competition, and the wrong kind of game for my liking, but i dont think bale would be a bad signing, atouba can go more central so not a problem really.. plus he is a decent player
Re: New Players for Ajax
Only Spurs will win if this goes ahead. We have Bale for a year, and he has had knee surgery this summer so is not even fit . We make him a better player which will benefit Spurs when he goes back next year and we get no money out of it.
As for Bodul is Jol in Spurs pay?? He will get more time in our first team than with Spurs. If he goes to them we wont see him back here . His contract is to 2011 so the money he can earn in England will result in him staying in England. Spurs will either buy him on the cheap or he will go to another English club. a good talent and Jol is letting him go for nothing.
Please let this not happen but Jol still loves Spurs.
I am pissed off with this guy at present and the season has not started. Still we do have 14 midfielders to chose from !!

Re: New Players for Ajax
i didnt think we were in to loan bale, as far as i had seen it was a permanent deal, but i do agree we shouldnt loan him to spurs, send him somewhere in holland or maybe germany.. but no matter where he goes if he does well hes leaving us..

I am taking comfort at the moment from the fact that before the last 3 seasons started I was supremely confident that they would walk the league with all of the talent that they had at their disposal, whereas this pre-season I have not got, to put it mildly, a lot of confidence in the team so they will probably confound me again. Well lets hope so.
Not an easy start to the season though with away fixtures at Gronningen and PSV to contend with.

Re: New Players for Ajax
So apparently (according to De Telegraaf anyway) we're now after the captain of Uruguay and central defender of Fenerbahçe, Diego Lugano. 28 year-old, right-footed central defender. He's out of contract, so we can land him for free, but players in his position normally have a lot of options and they demand high wages.
I don't know the bloke, but it must be someone of a certain calibre, so I have a good feeling about it. Now let's wrap this up, for God's sake, cuz we really (and I mean really) need an extra central defender who can actually defend. Get on with it, Ajax.
To Ajax's defence (oh the irony...): one of the reasons why it is so hard to find decent players is the fact that the Dutch league starts extremely early this year. Many players are still in the middle of their summer break and they have plenty of time to make up their minds. Many simply don't want to commit just yet, so it's not just that Ajax are messing up on the market. The players are waiting for 'dream offers' from England, Spain or Italy. They can always say yes to a club like Ajax if no 'dream club' shows up. Problem is: the players have the time, we don't.

Yeh, not an easy start, Bill. Just think, the season could be over and done with by the end of August! Now isn't that a chilling thought!!

What did the Amsterdam Tournament tell Jol.......well, hopefully, that if we're not top at Christmas....he'll be under so much pressure that we'll see what he's really like!
He doesn't seem to have any idea what sort of formation he's going to play, mainly because his tactical nouse is almost zero! I fear that the results might end up as last year ... 6-0 one week and 0-6 the next....a great balancing act, but crap if you're going to win anything! With the "defence" we've got, it's a must for more than 2.5 goals a game.....every game!!!
We wait....and wonder!!!!!

Re: New Players for Ajax
lugano is exactly the defender we need. strong, good in the air, nasty (in a good meaning): a true bastard and very hard to get rid of, if you know what I mean.
the problem is that he has also juventus, lazio and palermo after him and, even harder, he gained 3.5 million euros in turkey.
mission impossible, we are f****d.
oh yes: and no one in the board seems to care that we have a too light attack...

Re: New Players for Ajax
Hmm, well the thing is, if we sort out the defence then we only need to score 1 or 2 (which we can), but with the defence we've got, going on the last two games at least we need to score about 3 or 4 and that's just for a draw. I could defend better than some of what I've watched since Friday (and that's saying a lot!!!).orange goblin schreef:

Don't be too hard on yourself Brian - take your boots with you and you may well get a contract/game - especially if you are a mid-fielder
