Seems like our Board pulled the plug on the signing of the goalie.They did not feel it justified to get a new goalie at this time.
They also refused to pay 20m for Ocampos but were happy for the loan. Lots of complaints on the internet from fans but that is the Board's role to confirm spending.

Most of those complaining think running a soccer team is just like playing a video game. The Ajax Board is taking a sensible approach to this and not heading down the road that has plagued other teams in the past as they have flirted with insolvency because of bad decisions.

100% agree the Board is doing a good job, Ocampos has now come for a year at a cost of 4m .If he is not good enough we can send him back ,if he does well we can pay 16m for him next summer.Thats good sensible business.

Vlahodimos isn't anything special. At least for the type of game we play. It's a good thing we didn't spend 12-14 million on him

Setford will be the next GK once his wrist heals. He should be in playing shape after the WC.

You know, when all is said and done, I'm not sure the board were wrong in the frenetic latter stages of the transfer window.

They refused to pay +/-45M€ for a 28 year old attacker, and we ended up getting him on a 4M€ loan with purchase option for a further 16M€.

We didn't get an average goalie for +/-13M€ that the coaching staff had said they didn't need until last week.

I agree. The panic created after the Antony sale, was sadly managed by the board and not the technical team. What I said about Vlahodimos is based on his spell in Greek teams and our National Team.

Yeah super happy that we didn't waste money on Vlachodimos.

Ocampos for a year also seems sensible. Chico should hopefully be ready by next summer.

Agree above posts. Pasveer is a very good goalie and his only injury was a badly broken finger.Steks is 40 this month and probably finished after his recent injuries. Pasveer 39 in November can keep going this season ok.

Along with the coach V d Sar and Hamstra are responsible for the mess at this club and frankly all 3 should go.

Of the 9 new players signed only Bergwijn would be considered a reasonable success so far . He started well then got stuck out of position but he will be a good signing.

Bassey cannot defend and many pundits and fans think the same. Ajax should buy a quality LCD who is a good defender.Timber might then start playing well.

The only other 2 with playing time are Wijndal and Sanchez.Rensch and Blind are not in great form but are still both better than the new signings.

The other 5 ,have had little or no playing time and not sure what they add that our own youth cannot provide.

Basically I have no faith in the coach or V d Sar and Hamstra in buying new players this winter.

If Schreuder stays it will be a waste of money as we wont be champs.

Kaplan the young Turkish defender has injured his left knee again and not likely to play this season .He injured the same knee back in September so fear the worst ,just hope it comes right for him.

We are left with 5 defenders as Blind and Magallan can leave in January. Sanchez, Rensch Timber Bassey and Wijndal.The defence has been weak all season . Baas, who has played a few sub games is injured and Regeer is back playing mainly DM so no Young players are ready. Hato is not yet ready .

Article from Ajax press say we need a LB,Goalie,RCD, DM,and right winger. It assumes we lose Ocampos, Gorter,Blind ,Magallan, Kudus and Alvarez. Not counting Baas as 1st teamer and no Kaplan that leaves us with only 16 players left.Steks,Grillitsch,Conceicao and Lucca have played little so our squad looks threadbare.

None of the new 9 signings from the summer have looked special , and even Brobbey no 10 has not done nothing special.

We need to buy 6 new players and I have no faith in Schreuder,Hamstra and Huntelaar.

You could say Ajax forced out a world-cup-winning left back and replaced him with Owen Wijndal, so I don’t have much faith in their transfers either.

Me neither.
Talk of the town right now that negotiations with former feyenoord player rick karsdorp are already very concrete.

On this planet, you can't find many people with more bad taste and much dumber than karsdorp! :kots:

I read about Karsdorp and have disbelief we can think of signing him. Why do we need another RB. We will then have 6 defenders of which Sanchez,Rensch and Karsdorp are RB's.

The people running Ajax are making a complete mess of the playing staff and 3rd place could happen.

About to sign Villarreal's Argentinian goalie Geronimo Rulli ,30 years old, for 7.5m up front plus 5m of add ons. A new experienced younger goalie is needed so hope this turn out a good signing.

Ajax confirm they want a right winger and a CD. Conceicao and Kudus could easily play on the right,Kudus has for Ghana, and of course it looks at present like Ocampos will stay . Shambolic mess.

Last week v Telstar we were down to 18 x 1st teamers with Gorter and Ocampos excluded . With Rulli replacing Steks (now being a spare 3rd choice) we still have only 18 players but Grillitsch ,Lucca and Conceicao have played little and Sanchez and Wijndal only 5 or 6 games each. Still predict 3rd place for us.

So he has a four year contract. I wonder what this means for Setford who is the most promising of the youth GKs in the system.

Hopefully Setford will stay ,he has been out injured for 9 months and still only 18 ,so plenty of time for him to develop with us.

We seem to want an Argentinian defender from O Marseilles called Balerdi. We are going to offer 20m although he has said he doesn't want to move . Various reports from France dont read very well , get the feeling this could be a slightly better version of Magallan OM fans tweet they would take him to Amsterdam themselves for 15m to 20m.

Hopefully Balerdi stays put ,sounds like it. No rumours of any other signing and if Kudus and Alvarez stay , and I think they will, we will just get one new defender .

One rumour of selling last week was Jesper Kjaer , Danish winger ,who cannot get a game for Young Ajax( and contracts runs out in June) interests Liverpool and Chelsea. Unbelievable he has done nothing since joining in summer 2020.

Norway does seem like the kind of destination for him.

Anyway sorry for taking us off subject of new players but we do need to get a quality CD asap.With Rensch banned from Feyenoord game we have 4 fit defenders and apart from Timber the other 3 are rubbish.

Alvarez should partner Timber in the center. He was decent on Saturday.

We have signed a 17 year old winger Mika Godts from Genk.He is Belgium and several other clubs were interested.Fee of a few hundred thousand being paid and he will join Young Ajax.He signs to June 2025 and being under 18 cannot sign for longer until his birthday.

Thus Rulli is our only signing for the 1st team this month.

Rulli looks like a pretty good signing thus far.
