On FM you might have. In reality we had to buy a squad player in Ghezzal, and address this position in a later window.
GingerrrFox Posted 19 April 2019 Posted 19 April 2019 ****ing no chance. Could have signed him after his first season at Ajax but we ****ed it wasting time trying to convince Riyad to stay.

Ajax look a bit stronger than Monaco did.UEFA Cup finalists 2 years ago and now a Champions League semi final. Monaco was a flash in the pan really. Don't have anything like the history of Ajax. Ajax look well placed to build on the current success.
Fox85 Posted 19 April 2019 Posted 19 April 2019 Think if we just went in first with 40m to test the water I wonder if it would get rejected.

Monaco has wealthy owners, is a tax haven, plays in a stronger league. Ajax don't have the resources to hold on to their players and all the stars of this team will leave. Just not to us.
StriderHiryu Posted 19 April 2019 Posted 19 April 2019 All of the Ajax players are out of reach after their performances in the Champions League. Even the reborn again Dusan Tadic! You've got to hand it to them though, they have been brilliant and I hope they actually win it, they have now outplayed Bayern, Real and Juventus away from home. The elite clubs will be after their players if anymore leave (De Jong has already signed for Barcelona). What is encouraging is that Ajax have shown what is possible by keeping a young group together, just like Monaco did a few seasons ago and Dortmund when Klopp was in charge. And we are going for the same strategy with a mostly young side with experienced and reliable pros in key positions. Tadic and Blind are good examples, both pretty good players but hardly tore up trees in this league. But having good players to go along with exciting youngsters can be a good combination and I think it's why it's good we have players like Kasper, Evans, Vardy, Albrighton and to a lesser extent Morgan in the squad. 2

Werent we linked with this fella 4/5 seasons ago? Yes i doubt he gives up champs league to come to the KP unless he has some sort of unlikely love for King Richard III.
Fightforever Posted 19 April 2019 Posted 19 April 2019 (edited) Dream on We could have had him 2 seasons ago FFS Edited 19 April 2019 by Fightforever
lcfc matt Posted 19 April 2019 Posted 19 April 2019 Not a chance that Ajax team is going places.i think they could win the champions league and they deserve it too.nice to see a different team doing well 1

What's very possible to be fair is that Ajax will make enough money off De Jong, De Ligt and Ziyech (probably the three most likely to stay) that they can say no to any more sales this summer. They're clearly not going to want to lose an entire team are they? As good as Neres, VdBeek, Tagliafico etc have been, if they drop off a little in form next year they'll drop off the radar. Buying up Ajax team now would be a bit like buying up players who have a good world cup, it's just flavour of the month excitement. It'll fade if they don't move this summer and they go out in the group stage again next year.
Clever Fox Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 A great signing if we can make it happen. He would be joining a young team that's going places soon. Unlike the etc who are all over the place trying to find a consistent team.
StriderHiryu Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 Completely overrated player. Only 20 goals and 14 assists and average rating of 8.5. Bin!

coolhandfox Posted 21 April 2019 Posted 21 April 2019 His not coming here after his performances in the CL.
FoxyPalace.com Posted 21 April 2019 Posted 21 April 2019 We need to show some ambitition bang in a serious offer which would make them think!
AS78UK Posted 21 April 2019 Posted 21 April 2019 Linked with some of the big 6 today, will make this even more difficult, if it wasn't already. Was the Mahrez replacement we never got.
Bluearmyfox28 Posted 21 April 2019 Posted 21 April 2019 If we can get him for £40m or less then do it spend the money aswell as Tielemans he will be the difference to Europe or not the player of his quality. However having said that I can’t ever seeing it happen but if it means giving Rodgers an extra £30/£40 to make it happen then get it done. on a separate note I’m intrigued to know how many would be willing to sell Big H if it meant funding this move?
lcfc sheff Posted 21 April 2019 Posted 21 April 2019 I’m just confused how in this day and age he’s being quoted at £35m... seems low
Deeg67 Posted 21 April 2019 Posted 21 April 2019 This thread is still not locked?? Somebody really needs to start a "Lionel Messi" thread - just as realistic. 3
EastAnglianFox Posted 21 April 2019 Posted 21 April 2019 He will likely have his pick of the majority of Europe's elite come the end of the season for goodness sake
