The Schreuder Era Starts and Ends: 2022-23 Ajax Season

Ajax badly needs a GK. Flekken and Cillessen have been rumored.
Bergwijn coming is good hopefully Brobbey stays also.
Wonder if Owen Wijndal comes.

 

Ajax want 30m for Alvarez (I'd take 20+) and have put huge numbers on Timber/Antony. I'm curious if Schreuder doesn't rate him and wants a better passer in that position. At least that's what I'd like.

I hate to say this but I think Antony will force his way out. I'm hoping we can get at least 50+ for him. Timber (I think) will stay.

Bergwijn number seems to be 22-25. Probably set a record just edging out Haller fee.

I agree @richsavare... we need a GK.

LB is an interesting situation too. Could get a small fee for Nico or let him play out contract/leave on a free next year. I'd rather get the fee then buy Wijndal (to sell in 2-3 years).

 

and right on cue... This guy will force his way out. Hopefully we can fleece Man U and have enough time to buy a replacement.

Antony situation. Manchester United are really interested and already had contacts to explore potential deal - not the only club, but with ten Hag pushing. 🇧🇷 #MUFC

Been told player’s camp now asking Ajax to listen to bids for Antony this summer, even if price tag will be high. pic.twitter.com/OELd3cxASi

What a disgrace this is.

 

It's not something we don't do ourselfs. Ajax picked up the Timber brothers from Feyenoord. PSV picked up Madueke from England. Feyenoord has picked some from PSV and AZ this window etc.
Edit: I wonder what's the situation with that 16 yo AZ kid that went to BVB a few years ago with Raiola. If there's a difference in outcome compared to those moving to the epl clubs.

 

I read this morning that Ajax turned down a 40 million Euro offer for Martinez.

 

How nice to be in that position.

 

Watched yesterday's game against a third tier German club. It's early days of course and the opponents were sub par but nonetheless first half lineup showed some decent football. Good performance by Pierie, Fitz-Jim, Ihattaren, Hansen, Unuvar. Hope new coach will give them enough playing time with the first team. Next fixture is coming Saturday against Paderborn.

 

Winjdal deal looks done. Good. Fix that position and he will sell for a bigger fee as long as he continues to play for the NT. I think he's good enough for Ajax. Not the reward of a Nico (if we sold him at the right time vs. holding) but a solid player who fixes a major issue.

They really need to sign a GK now. You cannot rely on two old as hell GKs (one of which is already hurt).

 

That's what these matches are ment for. Get the newbees, whether youth or incoming transfers, the taste of what's needed and build up.

 

You dont think Ihattaren is ready either??

 

25M for Brobbey is just a total joke. I agree-- worth at most 10m. I read Ajax was offering 15. RBL is notoriously stingy. I bet this goes down the wire. I hope we start looking elsewhere for a forward. Or maybe even just go for a back-up type FW and play Tadic as the starting 9. This whole situation is just so dumb and caused by Brobbey himself.

Man U just came in with a 45+5 bid for Martinez. Lisandro might be my favorite current Ajax player but 50m for him is legit insanity and Ajax should jump on that.

I think Antony is gone. Reading the tea leaves and how/where the rumors are coming out about him, his agents are trying to get him to Man U or another spot. Losing him would really hurt.

 

Brobbey made a terrible decision to leave in the first place. Of course Leipzig will attempt to drive the price up.
I think he has great potential but it’s truly a mess on the transfer market with him.
I also read Zirkzee has been rumored as well.
I’m all for young Dutch players and think he could become a top player also.
If I was to guess Martinez will likely go as well.
Antony I doubt will move if what I read is true about ManU not willing to pay 70-80 million Euros.
Still need to find a better GK. I read that Schreuder is happy with his 3 but I cannot believe that whatsoever.

 

Agreed on GK... We need one badly.

I don't think we will get 70-80m for Antony. I just think that situation is going to get ugly if he doesn't get a transfer. Just my gut based off of watching him.

I'm curious about RB as well. Please no Klaiber. Rensch was not impressive IMO. Timber is much better centrally (I really think he should flip positions with Alvarez if both stay).

I thought this would be a really active, fascinating window and it looks like it will be.

 

No Klaiber absolutely.

 

I like Gorter-- I don't think he's ready. Hopefully I am wrong. I'm just very concerned with an always hurt 39 yo and a hurt last year 38 yo going into the year as the main options. Last year we literally ran out of GK.

Losing Martinez would really stink. But €50M is more than fair. I just hope this gets resolved sooner rather than later (same with Antony) so we can buy some replacements.

Schuurs (by default) might be very important this year. The defensive options are really thin right now.
