Straight to work.What is he saying. Hel go on holiday or not?
If he gets 3 quality players we will barley even be a top 4 team.I hope so, but then he needs to sign 3-5 quality players. There is no preseason or tactical gameplan that will make AWB, Telles, Dalot, McFred and a few other players play cohesive football.

He will go on holiday a bit later, probably in a few weeks. He said it's been a tough season, he needs to recharge. But first he's working on Man Utd stuff starting tomorrow. He's skipping an Ajax end of season trip this week to focus on his new job immediately.What is he saying. Hel go on holiday or not?

DDG, Ronaldo, Varane and hopefully Sancho are quality.If he gets 3 quality players we will barley even be a top 4 team.
6 needed minimum if we want to be safe.
I mean in an ideal scenario maybe 1-2 of those players are starting for us in a game with our full squad assuming we make at least 3 signings. Fred is also more than capable of playing decent football as well.I hope so, but then he needs to sign 3-5 quality players. There is no preseason or tactical gameplan that will make AWB, Telles, Dalot, McFred and a few other players play cohesive football.
That's way to risky an assumption to be banking on those playersDDG, Ronaldo, Varane and hopefully Sancho are quality.
Hopefully he can make use of Shaw, Rashford, Fred and Maguire.
3-4 are a minimum if we want top 4.
Erik: "Fletch. Who's our left-back?"Shaw centrally
Sancho as the #10

In case you were responding to the tweet that @No Idea For Nickname posted: that's not the official Ajax account, it's just some dude.Always a classy club.
Tell us you've never seen an Erik Ten Hag side play football without telling us you've never seen a Erik Ten Hag side play football.DDG, Ronaldo, Varane and hopefully Sancho are quality.
Could he take a holiday during the world cup? It might have factored into his planning and might be a more suitable timeTweet

I disagree with this. This squad has been undertrained, mismanaged, and allowed to basically do what the feck they want on and off the pitch for the past 3 managers including Ralf. That will stop under ETH. If we make 2-3 solid additionls to the squad with proper training and discipline, I don't think top 4 will be an issue at all. Midfield and defense will bey the key areas to address this window. If we get that right, we'll be alright.If he gets 3 quality players we will barley even be a top 4 team.

Well straight off the bat we need two new starting Midfielders to do anything at all.I disagree with this.

If we make 2-3 solid additionls to the squad with proper training and discipline, I don't think top 4 will be an issue at all. Midfield and defense will bey the key areas to address this window.

I wouldn’t be all that surprised to see us go to a back 5 to build confidence and momentum in defence. 5-2-2-1 or something narrow, depending on signingHave you seen Elanga’s attempts to defend? They’re significantly worse than his attempts to attack, and they often flatter to deceive.
It could possibly work as a wing back of a 3 like Victor Moses, but that’s about it
He’s not going to go on holidays with Ajax because he’s with Utd now. Im sure he’ll go on his own holiday while our players are gone away too. He’ll also be working on holidays doing video calls with signings and our players and coaches getting everything ready. This lad sounds and carries himself like a winner. I really fancy him to hit the ground running. It’s how he handles the players when results get shaky and the owners won’t get him players or sell who he wants to sell that I’m more interested in. Hopefully he can rule with an iron fist!!What is he saying. Hel go on holiday or not?
*some classy dude.In case you were responding to the tweet that @No Idea For Nickname posted: that's not the official Ajax account, it's just some dude.
There's the Nation League group games at the start of June, he might go away then. The players will be off on holiday and others away with the international teams.I wouldn’t be all that surprised to see us go to a back 5 to build confidence and momentum in defence. 5-2-2-1 or something narrow, depending on signing

Erik: "Fletch. Who's our left-back?"
Fletcher: "Oh, Telles."
Erik: "No, the fa.....bulkier one."
Fletcher: "That's Shaw."
Erik: "Hmmm...."
Nah, he's going in the next weeks. That quote is out of context, poorly translated, it's referring to him skipping the trip that Ajax is taking this week to Curacao.Could he take a holiday during the world cup? It might have factored into his planning and might be a more suitable time

Im convinced around 50% of the tricky work is done in the summer by convincing the right players to come in for the right money and getting rid of people who’ve stagnated for too long. Organising the best staff etc and fixing mistakes. Then it’s all coaching and man management from there on out until the next window. That’s why I found it so strange what Moyes did or how Ed goes on holidays in the middle of the window etc. it’s cocky/stupid.There's the Nation League group games at the start of June, he might go away then.

It is, but depends how much access you have to players if with their international teams. I agree that Moyes and Woodward made a massive mistake that summer. Think Woodward had convinced Moyes that being Manchester United we just had to click our fingers and players would join us.Im convinced around 50% of the tricky work is done in the summer by convincing the right players to come in for the right money and getting rid of people who’ve stagnated for too long.

I agree that a decent core is there and that we don’t need a rebuild, but I think it’s going to take us four new players, not three, to get us into top four contention. Possibly five is Erik wants a new RB, although I think he’ll settle for Dalot for now.I disagree with this.

Bit of an exaggeration isn’t it.If he gets 3 quality players we will barley even be a top 4 team.
