I hate people bringing up that nonsense for another reason. Her dad spoke to one journalist on the morning that entire mess broke, he was in shock and had seen Mason as part of the family for a number of years.
Because in the past there wouldn't have been undeniable video evidence. It would have been her word against his and we all know how that would have turned out.
I was just about to reply asking if he was the Dutch version of Captain Holt
I’m imagining him as captain Holt from Brooklyn 99
Against the top teams perhaps, but I'd like to think we could pin back some teams with 2 midfielders who know how to attack. Bruno would need to become less wasteful.
It's also just him still getting to know the media around the club, I reckon. When EtH started at Ajax, he was a tad withdrawn following the increase in media attention he got (in the media, not in or around the club). He often answered questions without emotion, just plain, simple and short, straight to the point type of answers. Once he got to know the journalists better, especially on a more personal level, the answers got more relaxed, joking with the journalists here and there and once every while, Erik ten Holt turned into someone with actual facial expressions in pressers. So expect to see less of Captain Holt in the futureI was just about to reply asking if he was the Dutch version of Captain Holt
Might have missed it but do we know why he switched them?
It's true

Squad was arguably stronger on paper last season but in reality it was a mess.
If you consider the players that left the club were deadwood then and the fact we now have an actual manager, then we were much weaker last season.
Matic, Pogba, Greenwood?
Haha, but I like Holt!It's also just him still getting to know the media around the club, I reckon.

Do people rate Matic and Pogba as being useful members of the squad now then? They barely played for us and both needed to leave and Eriksen is an upgrade on Pogba anyway. Matic looked decent in the final few games of the season but his time here was clearly over.
OK mate.
Can't help but agree. I'm waiting for the inevitable Caf battle in two months time:
. A signing like De Jong, who EtH clearly sees as integral to the project, would give me a lot more faith for the final league position: I wouldn't like to see another year of McFred (or the Maguire-Lindelof partnership for that matter but thankfully we have Martinez and hopefully a fitter Varane)Yeah. It's promising so far. We know the DM we need to sign has to be able to pass and make himself available, the RB we need to sign to be good in the half-spaces/able to tuck into midfield, and the #9 capable in link up play and good in the box but probably doesn't have to be lightning quick.
How can you say his signings have been good before a ball has been kicked?
Well because Lisandro Martinez is one of my favorite players at Ajax. Just because you don’t know him doesn’t mean I don’t. Malacia has looked good in preseason and then there is hope for Frenkie De Jong which everyone is consistently talking about night and day.
For this season, anything better than 5th would be a success in my eyes. 3rd or better, I would be ecstatic.
Yet more nonsense.Well because Lisandro Martinez is one of my favorite players at Ajax. Malacia has looked good in preseason and then there is hope for Frenkie De Jong which everyone is consistently talking about.
And how is what I have seen an Ajax supporter say on red cafe “wrong”
So grumpy and grimey. Yuck
Yet more Grime
I would think that he bought Dutch or eredivise players only in this window because he knew them a lot already and they knew him in the past. it is to pay safe for first transfer window to fix the broken boat effectively and faster.
Could not agree more.
I think we've had worse squads, especially in Fergie's last year. Obviously that man did magic and nobody can match him, but it's not that bad.
It was close, probably better players but old. It is quite a poor squad Fergie left to the next manager tbh.
Because the home bench used to be further away from the players' tunnel than the away bench. By switching them, the United players no longer have to walk past the opposition manager/subs when going to their own dugout.
Ole first full season we started with Martial, Rashford, James, Lingard, Mata, Perriera as our front four options with McFred starting the majority of games in midfield.
He bought one Ajax player? The one he met at the club is unlikely to start vs Brighton. We are unlikely to sign another from Ajax this summer. De jong plays for Barca and is a special talent.
Yeah, that first season with Ole felt absolutely barren, especially once Pogba started his long injury out. Debating whether Lingard or Pereira was our best attacking midfielder was a real low. I'd say that was the weakest squad in the last 10 years by far.
This post is as wrong as it gets. Losing the qualities of Pogba and Greenwood is considered nothing now? Jesus Christ.
Also:
2018 we started with Fred, Fellaini, Herrera, Matic and Pogba. Martial Rashford Lukaku Pogba scored 45 goals together so not that bad. Sanchez was the biggest disappointment I guess.
