I was probably over reacting about Kluivert as he has said he wants to establish himself at Ajax.Its just seeing Raiola as his agent made me think negative. Of the dozen or so kids who have left to go abroad over the last 3 years only Malen was with Raiola I believe. Not sure if Redan is with him as he is still to get a new club.Think Raiola would have got him to Chelsea or Man city by now.

Ouasim Buoy's contract with Juventus runs out this month. Doubt it will be renewed as he isn't good enough to play there. Don't know who Redan's agent is but he has not signed with anyone yet.

Bouy is not one of the 12 or so ,he left in 2012 and was already 19. I just referred to the 16 year olds who have left since Fosu-Mensah.

Inter pull-out of the race for Ajax right-back Kenny Tete.

Seemed they have never have been in the race for him. Raoila was pushing them to buy Tete but their response was 'not interested'.

Lets hope Tete snubs a move to Turkey

Redan has signed for Chelsea. Taking the money and never to be heard of again. We cannot blame players like this as we now have 6 non Dutch in next seasons U19 squad.All have taken our money and left their countries aged 16.

Big difference at Ajax they have a good chance of breaking through. Chelsea no chance. Dutch LB Ake is at Chelsea but rarely plays. Was at Watford in 2015/16 and Bournemouth for first half of last season and did well. Back at Chelsea since January hardly played.

Galatasaray have also offered Wesley Sneijder to Ajax as part of a deal to buy Kenny Tete, they really want him. But is he really keen on them? He seems to be stalling, possibly holding out for other suitors from Italy or Spain

I'd really like Sneijder to return. He would cause many midfield problems obviously, being on the same team as Ziyech though

Cannot see Sneijder coming back as we only pay a max 1m pa.Wesley appears to have lived the millionaire style of life whereas KJH has taken a big reduction in wages to come back but is happy to live back in the farming world where he grew up.

On the transfer front many rumours but the only fact Westermann is almost certain to go to Austria Wien.

Galatasaray have withdrawn from signing Kenny Tete from Ajax because of the salary demands of Mino Raiola. (Sporx)


Looks like Tete is meant to be with us for another season!

Will Frank de Boer sign him at Crystal Palace?

Can Crystal Palace afford his salary? Don't they want Veltman instead?

Pelle Clement has left Ajax and signed for Crystal Palace

Reading.

Clement not good enough for our 1st team but not sure how many games he will get at Reading .He is the sort of player who should be at PEC Zwolle or Heracles but already lost to Dutch footy. Denzell Gravenberch is at Reading but didn't get many games. In the championship there are several Dutch guys at clubs but quite a few did not get many games. My local team Brighton had Elvis Manu and Danny Holla a couple of years ago but neither played many games. Both average Eredivise players.

Good luck to Pelle

The main youth writer on Ajax showtime did a blog yesterday on Justin Kluivert and his agent Raiola. Justin's contract runs to 2019 but although he was 18 almost 2 months ago no news on any extension..This blog ,going through all Ajax players with Raiola, hopes Justin will stay but fears he wont get to renew and we will lose him in 2018.

I still dont think we should have anyone with this agent . Probably I am in a minority but I would sell Kluivert now and the other Raiola man Bakker in the youth sell. Anyone with this agent should be sold at the next transfer window.

I have been saying something similar for years - sell off anyone who has signed with him, and sell off any players that sign with him in the future.

Glad I am not alone on selling all Raiola players. One would hope Justin Kluivert will be here for 3 more years but Raiola will ensure he leaves next summer.Why bother with Justin just sell for 10m and bring in a winger who wants to stay here for 3 years.

Onto news Westermann having a medical and is off to Austria Wien. The great defender sale continues. Lyon hope to sign Tete for 4m . Crystal Palace seem like they want Veltman 11m .Birmingham looking at Dijks.

That leaves us with 6 defenders,Zeefuik, Sanchez(hope he stays)de Ligt,Viergever,Sinkgraven Riedewald(unlikely to stay)

95% of all agents are pretty much only interested in maximizing their own income and seldom care about the players development. I'm not sure Raiola is any worse than the usual agent. He is playing hardball with Milan about their 18 year old keeper right now who won't renew his contract. We don't like Raiola as he has a history with Ajax that isn't pleasant. One wonders if Patrick is giving Justin any advice.

Mino Raiola's history with Ajax goes back as far as the early 90s, starting with Bryan Roy, then Wim Jonk and Dennis Bergkamp. As I understand it, Raiola was born in Italy, but moved to Netherlands when he was around two years old, but why does he hurt Ajax and not the other clubs in Netherlands.

I have never liked Italian football or their clubs but the rumors yesterday saw their clubs taking the mick .Roma want to get Dolberg for 15m and believe we want 20m!!!!!.Believe Ajax would not take less than 40m.
Inter want Sanchez ,and know we want 45 to 50m but hope to get us to take a lot less.

Dolberg wont leave this summer and Sanchez would only go to a really top club ,and for 50m .Ajax have said thats his value. Think he too will stay another year and if he develops will go to Barca.

Oh dear the rumours are all coming from Italy where they have little money. Napoli for Onana and Milan for Ziyech .And Inter seem that they can pay 50m for Sanchez!!.I always remember Juve paying about 17m for Zlatan and paid it over 5 years!

At least the rumours of Italian interest can be ignored its only when we start reading Barca Real Bayern and the top 6 English are interested that we should be worried.

Transfer market only opened today ,its going to be a long 2 months for us.
