WIELAERT MOVE ON HOLD

FC Twente defender Robbie Wielaert will not be moving to Ajax after the Amsterdam club refused to increase their bid, according to the player's agent.

The 29-year-old has been a target for last season's Eredivisie runners-up for a number of weeks, with new Ajax coach Marco van Basten remaining hopeful despite Twente chairman Joop Munsterman last week insisting they would not let the player go before this month's Champions League qualifiers against Arsenal.

But Wielaert's agent Kees Ploegsma claims "the book is closed" over the possible transfer - at least for now.

"I have spoken with Ajax technical manager Danny Blind," Ploegsma told newspaper TC/Tubantia. "And he told me that Ajax will not offer more than what they already offered.

"And because FC Twente refuses to go lower, the book is closed for the time being."

I'm kind of satisfied that this deal didn't hapened. We need a central defender, but i don't think he's the right man.

Van Basten has stated he wants to add one more defender and one more midfielder, and the internet rumors today say that his target right now is Lucas Biglia (22 y/o, defensive midfielder, Argentinian, plays for Anderlecht). Due to Anderlecht getting booted from the Champions League qualifying round, they're looking to sell some of their most valued players in order to balance the books, and apparently they're asking 7 million euros for Biglia. PSG is also interested in him.

Headline today states Anderlecht want Vertonghen in exchange. Very unlikely to let him go.

Unless Lucas Biglia is head and shoulders above Jan Vertonghen, it definitely wouldn't make much sense to deal like for like .

Vertonghen is a defender at the moment. Biglia is not. We are already short in defenders.

You do the math.

If Vertonghen went who would be left back??? Urby Schilder or Slijngard!!!

IMO Jan is better than those 3.

Vertonghen can play in midfield too....thats a bad trade in my opinion...

Loovens who we were talking about a few weeks back has gone to Celtic for £2.5m

One paced with average technique.

It shows there is too much money in england when an average championship defender goes for £3m.

Ajax should try and sign Adeleye from Sparta. Any thoughts?

Geplaatst: **zo aug 17, 2008 11:17 am**

Blind knows him very well.

If Huntelaar goes and we got money we could spend, I'd say go for Russia's Pavulychenko (spelling?).

Tall, quick, and eye for goal.

Eh when was Glasgow ever in England, now I know the Celtic fans love to think they are Irish but English, eh no thanks

My humble apologies regards Celtic and Loovens. And Cardiff are Welsh.

Point I was making is that an average player from the English Championship is valued at £3m . Far too much money in the EPL but even our second division players are costing over the odds.

Nae problem mate.

But agree with your point, the value being paid for players in England is way over the top, esp for mediocre players.

Maybe we could sell Colin for that price

Goal.com is going overboard on Ajax today what with Urby and KJH they also report we are intereted in Tom de Mul, who played well at the Olympics but only played 6 times for Sevilla last season.

PS A lot of goal.com's stories are made up and if any of you see Steve Uk making comments about Ajax stories thats me. I started these this summer because of the old crap they put about KJH mainly. And they are still making up crap about him today!

You didn't have to say it...

It seems also that a lot of those stories come from French crap sources. I just can't believe this one about De Mul.

Some reports claimed that Zamalek forward Mahmoud Abdel Razek "Shikabala" is currently a target for a number of European clubs. The report claimed that Ajax Amsterdam have the player on thier shortlist while Hertha BSC and Anderlecht are showing interest as well. (egyptianplayers.com)

Evander Sno for 3 years? I thought he mostly rode the pine at Celtic. Can't believe he's suddenly become a world beater.

Geplaatst: **za aug 23, 2008 9:22 pm**

I'm hearing that he's a pretty good defensive midfielder, but not so good as an out-and-out defender. Hope he fits in well.

Sno has pretty good size. Maybe Marco can turn him into a central defender if the midfield doesn't work out.
