Sustain the Excellence: Ajax, 2019-20

Stones alone can probably justify the purchase of De Ligt. English defenders are totally over-rated, under-delivered... look how they were crumbled couple weeks ago under the pressure of intense (not!) Dutch offense

 

For some reason they play really bad against us. Their only meaningful win was Euro '96

 

We're not getting Ødegaard: https://www.telegraaf.nl/sport/1379849806/ajax-haalt-streep-door-odegaard

 

He was more into Bosz.

 

Shame . I really wanted this young man at Ajax!
This means Overmars will focus now on signing Promes and perhaps Bergwijn. Let's see how it goes!

 

Odegaard isnot a winger.

 

Read that Juve is now the frontrunner to land De Ligt... arguably a better move than to PSG. Juve have aging defense in Chilleni and Bonucci - and the Italians are, after all, known for their rugged defending.

 

Dont think O14 will like this:

Around 17.5 million Euro per yr is a good deal for deLigt. I would take that too. He'll play in a slightly better league than PSG too:

Orange14 hanging on

 

LOL......gotta give him credit, he's really hanging in there

 

I think de Ligt is having a good laugh at all the nonsense around his transfer going around on twitter and fakebook etc. at the beach he's sipping his pinacolada.
I see 15 pa at PSG, followed up by 20 pa at Juve and moments later it's 12 pa and then Real enters the arena while they've the least or no CD problems.

 

Looks like the deal might be done later tonight:

LOL....you're gonna have to get over the fact he's moving on O14

 

Empty nest syndrom

 

Promes will sign for 5 years: https://www.ad.nl/transfer-talk/quincy-promes-voor-vijf-jaar-naar-ajax~a04a6e59/

 

I am happy with Promes deal. He actually did play before under Erik ten Hag back with Go Ahead Eagles in 2012-2013. It's worth noting that Promes played as a no. 10 back then, not as a winger.

 

PSG have increa$ed their offer: https://www.barcablaugranes.com/201...ncrease-offer-for-de-ligt-barcelona-stay-firm

 

Well, Atletico Madrid seems to be seriously interested in signing Blind!
I am not sure if Ajax or even Blind will agree though. I mean, the departure of our two main CBs will affect the team really bad. Also, Blind found his best ever form under ten Hag, would he sacrifice this to play for Ateletico under Simeone, who plays a completely different football?
