Wand of a left foot, anyone know more about him? Good enough for our RW? Looked class tonight
Its almost as if they're headed to the champions league finalAre you guys fecking serious? There is a thread for each of the Starting XI of Ajax now.
Ok lets make a thread for Mazouraui nowIts almost as if they're headed to the champions league final
Sure he's pretty good for a young rightback, but I hope you can see why the starters from today will get more hypeOk lets make a thread for Mazouraui now
Because they're a good team. Not because they're so amazing individually. Also, not having to play anywhere near as many matches as any of the English sides and having the FA on your side rescheduling matches to make sure you're well rested for the CL games helps. De Jong and De Ligt are world class talents, the rest of them are good but nothing special really.Its almost as if they're headed to the champions league final
Cheeky bid for Blind... as in windAre you guys fecking serious? There is a thread for each of the Starting XI of Ajax now.
Clearly good enough to play well against Spurs and JuventusBecause they're a good team. Not because they're so amazing individually.

how are you defining natural talent hereI haven't watched much of Ajax outside of the CL but I think I'd go for Neres? Looks more naturally talented to me.
Paper talk mate, is it €35 his buy out? still well worth payinghow have they translated €35m to £25m when the pounds hasn't been worth 1.4 euros since like late 2015?
This. Very much so.I'm still not convinced by him and I'm actually pretty sure most of their players would turn into another Kagawa/Mkhitaryan/Sahin etc. if we were to buy them. it should be obvious by now that Ajax aren't where they are because they're individually better than teams they beat in CL this year. let's say we buy Tadic and Ziyech; I bet there's more chance of their replacements at Ajax being just as successful next season than those two replicating their current form under Ole. then again, that fee... he's worth it, easily. I doubt he can be worse than the usual suspects in our team.
I'd give it a miss in that case.He has a 25 million buy out... worth the gamble I’d say. Reminds me a bit of Mahrez.
Ajax fans also hated him because he lost the ball often but mostly because he looks like he doesnt really care. Even after the Tottenham game he didnt look happy.I think Redcafe would hate him. He's the type that likes to dribble, shoot and look for the killer pass more often than keeping it simple. All things that's hated on this forum.
Di MariaReminds me of Mahrez
Ziyech gets a lot of stick for his decision making, ridiculous attempts from stupid places, overall demeanour, etc. but he's never been criticised for a lack of workrate?Ajax fans also hated him because he lost the ball often but mostly because he looks like he doesnt really care. Even after the Tottenham game he didnt look happy.
Loads of people here want Pogba gone because he doesnt 'play for the jersey', 'doesnt put in a shit' and 'he looks like he only cares about himself and not about the club'. Ziyech is worse than Pogba when it comes to those things (while also being not as good as a Pogba as a football player.). Pogba looks annoyed when we concede, he shouts at teammate but Ziyech would likely just walk back for a kick off when we concede.
After a few months people here would want Ziyech out of the club and prefer Lingard to start because he is a local lad who works hard and has great off the ball movement...
Sounds like Giggs to me.I think Redcafe would hate him. He's the type that likes to dribble, shoot and look for the killer pass more often than keeping it simple. All things that's hated on this forum.
Thought his decision making was far better than Neres who was the only Ajax player who didnt look effective against SpursI think he has a really good quality of passing but lacks something in the final meters, the last good decision that Neres, Mesraoui or Van de Beek seems to have.
He attempted so much. Maybe it was the instructions but against Real, Tottenham or Juve, making the good the shot at the right moment is clearly more intelligent. There was some moments I couldn't understand why he hurried, why he was taking the shoot, trying some unbelievable dribbles. Probably better at the organisation.
But his numbers are good and I can't say I watch Ajax a lot
