New Players for Ajax

[kezme44]

i'd say go for it if we can get him for 3-4 million. very fast and good on ball. easily beats many defenders

[ajaxcolombia]

According to Goal.com, we are looking at three players. Narsingh (which we have already discussed), Lasse Schone, and most inreresting, Niklas Moisander. Moisander could be Vertonghen's direct replacement.

He's likely not to be as good as Denswil and I say keep with the Ajax youth. Toby will be a good mentor since he broke into the starting lineup at about the same age.

[ajaxcolombia]

Denswil will be going through an adaptation process next season. Having Moisander will help ease the process of including him in the first team. I'm also in favor of having Denswil as future replacement for Vertonghen but it might help to have a player with more experience while Denswil adapts to first level football.

[souras84]

You are both right. In fact if Jan leaves, we need 2 DC's cause Ooijer is retiring and we will have no bench players. What about Shone???

another new youth signed on a 3 year contract 17 year old Robert Koesveld a left sided central defender from Heerenveen

[King Litti]

Sad to say this as a fellow finn, but Moisander isn't even close to Verthongen. Or maybe that too harsh. Let say he isn't as versatile as Jan, who bring so much offensive skill to the team. Moisander is an ok defender in eredivisie standards, but not exactly CL material. Then again who is that we could afford? I remember a finnish paper quoting that AZ rate him at 5 million€. Hmm, at leat a million too much.

Where would Schöne fit in? Wouldn't he be playing at Eriksens place? As I understand Eriksen isn't leavin yet. Would he trade his current play maker role in NEC to a bench at Ajax?

[SPL]

meanwhile we are still signing youths on contracts from other teams Gino van Kessel a 19 year old striker from AZ signs until 2014 + a year option. He was not contracted by Az .

I wonder what this means for Castillion? He returns from loan and I know he's been hurt while at Waalwijk but I'm not sure he has impressed.

[SPL]

Assume the new boy will just play for Jong Ajax next season and they will look to see if Castillion can replace Bulykin in the first team squad.

[orange goblin]

Don't think it's a problem for them: he defines himself a right winger.
And wow, look at who is his favourite eredivisie player! this guy is already cool! http://www.az.nl/index.php?id=81&newsid=242240

It seems that Lasse Schone has already signed a deal with Ajax. This is terrible news for Lodeiro, I think.

[Cruijff]

Yes Lasse Schöne has signed a contract for 3 years. I expect Lodeiro to leave Ajax in the summer.

[Jinne]

Schone indeed has been signed by Ajax now, but did you think that Lodeiro would stay at Ajax? Due the injuries he played more than expected, especially in the first half of the season. Also scored some important goals for us so he had his worth in the titlerace, but lately with everyone back he has lost his place in the squad again. So it wasn't likely that he would sign a new contract.

[ajaxcolombia]

A little unfair with Lodeiro, this might be my south american solidarity speaking, but he never had a chance to play his ideal position, particularly when Janssen was underperfoming horribly.

[Cruijff]

He had his worth! Did you follow your English courses together with Ruud Krol?

He was unlucky having several injuries when he was new at Ajax. And breaking his foot again during the World Cup. He never really got into the squad. Ajax was fighting a strange battle with AZ to get Lodeiro. Maybe Nicolas would have become a great Eredivisie player in case he went to Alkmaar instead of Amsterdam.

[ajaxcolombia]

It was Suarez who convinced him to come to Ajax. They both came from Nacional de Monteideo, so Suarez had a big influence on him.

[souras84]

Are my nonexistent Dutch right? Did we just sign Schone?

[Rooie]

Yes, free transfer. Contract for 3 years.

[SPL]

Don't know much about him is he any good??

[Ayman]

WTF??? What about Rodney Sneijder? What the FUCK does this mean for him? I was looking forward to his return!!!! I wish Eriksen would go to AS Roma, so we can keep Rodney!

[Rooie]

Rodney Sneijder

Warming the bench at Utrecht and behaving like a c*nt. Not good enough.

Though I suspect you're sarcastic....

[SPL]

FDB says he wants another young striker plus a winger and a replacemnet for Jan . He appears happy that V Rhijn will be V d Wiel's replacement ( should hope so)

[souras84]

Benji you said it! After that game he is not wanted

[souras84]

We have a HEAVY rotation potential in the midfield and wings next year. I wonder where will De Jong, Eriksen, Janssen, Anita, Schone etc will fit... Couldn't say the same for the DC. LB and RB ok.
