Casierra has arrived so should sign tomorrow.Sanchez the other Colombian and aCD could also come and we may be paying 6m euros.Barca offered 4.5m euros but it was not actually accepted but they only wanted to play him in their B team and he said no thanks.

Only problem we are signing 2 x 19 year olds for 12m in total but we need to buy a couple of experienced players. Not sure these 2 lads are going to be much good trying to get us into the CL this summer ,they will need a year to settle in.

At least we are signing replacements early this summer.

We have looked at 2 wingers Bailey the Jamaican at Genk but they want too much money .We had him on trial a couple of years ago but he did not get a work permit. Also Vitesse have said no to selling Raschica their young forward.We are looking to sign a winger.

Mateo Casierra has now signed for us for 5.5m euros and a 5 year contract. Welcome and lets hope he does well

Cool! Don't know anything about him but it's a nice change from buying from the eredivisie or Scandinavia exclusively ;)

Anyone remember other players we've brought direct from South America recently?

Oh yeah. Playing in the US now according to Wikipedia.

Wow, didn't know that. Miami FC are a second division US team managed by the former Italian great Alessandro Nesta.

Ajax have said he is officially spelt Cassierra ie double SS

What about Lodeiro? I can't remember if he came direct, or we got him from another team.

The press today says the Ajax Board want v Rhijn and v d Hoorn sold before buying the Colombian CD Sanchez.Yesterday we were talking a transfer fee of 6m but Basel want him also. I would imagine the asking price has gone up beyond 6m and our Board will not sanction it.

IIRC he came direct at the recommendation from Suarez. He's playing for Boca Juniors in Argentina and the Uruguay NT.

Is Sanchez left footed or right footed? I don't want Van der Hoorn to leave

Sanchez is right footed .

We have given the green light and Sanchez is coming to Amsterdam tomorrow to sign.5m euros and 5 year deal.

So this means that either Veltman or van der Hoorn leaves for sure.

They want v d Hoorn to leave but we will see what happens with Veltman.One of these 2 will leave. Ajax want a winger and a striker ,hoping KJH to replace Milik.

Veltman is going nowhere, it takes a year to adjust at Ajax

Hope you are right and Veltman stays .

We are now ok with Defence, Owusu and Sanniez are good enough to cover RB .We could bring in a 30's defender like an Ooijer if we do get into the CL group stages.

Goalie Cillessen has been mentioned at Everton but if not I think he will stay .We are looking at Schalke's no 2 who missed last season with an injury so maybe some thing is happening with Jasper.

Midfield no problem except lack of creativity, v d Beek de Jong Nouri will be our midfield in 2 years time . Apart from Serero I see no one going and Sinkgraven should get playing time so no signings.

Attack. KJH for Milik although I would love to see Milik stay another year.

Wingers, Younes stays but Schone will likely go and Ajax have said El Ghazi may go. Cerny and Muric both to come in and we are going to buy another winger ,hence El Ghazi could go.

So another main striker, a decent winger and maybe a goalie and older defensive type and that should be it for the new season.

Our two new Columbians will want to bring their out of favor Madrid #10 James Rodriguez to Ajax. His arrival will give us all the firepower we need for CL football!!! (A supporter can dream )

Davinson Sanchez has now signed a 5 year contract and fee about 5m.He is still going to play for his club in the Copa Liberadores next month ,so if he officially ours not sure what happens if he gets a bad injury in those games.

He was born June 1996 and Cassiera April 1997.

This guy is supposed to be the real deal based on everything that I've read. Barca wanted to sign him and put him in Barca B and he didn't want that, which is why he came to us. At the very last minute Basel tried to jump in and also Barca with a promise of adding him to their first team squad.

So now, we have Tete, Veltman and Sanchez (assuming that we sell De Hoorn) for the right side of defence. Riedewald, Viergever and Dijks for the left.

Also, like everyone else, I am really excited about De Ligt who has been moved to Jong Ajax.

I wouldn't get carried away with two squad players. Ajax still need 2 wingers and a striker, and possibly a goal keeper if Cillessen leaves.

bad news on the Huntelaar front as he has stated he's staying with Schalke, Apparently we are after Rosales from Malaga (Former defender at FC Twente)

Signed a16 year old Romanian defender called Ricardo Farcas,no idea what position he plays.Ogararu has had a say in this.

We now appear to be signing a 20 year old Romanian midfielder called Razvin Marin for 2m euros.Why on earth do we need another midfielder!!!!

Milik has agreed to stay for another year so we dont need a new striker.Mind I can see us selling Milik on 31 August!!
