On a transfer like this the thing to do is have a lot of performance related add-ons. He's a kid. He maybe won't reach his potential. He maybe won't adapt to the league. The idea of £42M at this stage is pure madness. £32M is a massive gamble in itself, it'd be Ajax's biggest sell ever wouldn't it?

Unless someone else comes in for him. Oh Spurs how I love th games you play with me so
Plays a bit like Ledley and I LOVED Ledley. I want him!!!
Among Ajax fans the general consensus is that anything below 50m is too low. Overmars, the TD, is under some mild pressure.
-we dont need the money; we have 150m (give or take) in cash. That is huge given a <100m annual turnover
- he has 4y left on his contract
- we dont want to sell him
Ajax has this weird situation where they cant seem to spend money. Players in the 15-25m range dont want to play in the Eredivisie. We have a salary cap of 1m (will pbb go up to 1.5m or something like that)
We cant pay a new player 1.5m unless he is a known star (like wesley sneijder).. but they dont want to come.. Otherwise the likes of Ziyech, Dolberg etc. will rightfully demand the same wage. That is not viable in the long run. Blabla... we dont need the money.
Re Sanchez. He is good. Very good. He still makes mistakes though. Also useless in possesion. He will eat strikers though. Make headers. Good presence. I give him 50/50 to make it all the way to the top.
My bet is that Overmars will stall and pray for a betting war

Plus, Levy has always wanted to take over China. With Sanchez, we can!
It's a shame how stunted Ajax have been since the 'dream team' of the 90's with Davids, Kluivert etc.
Last season they looked to be getting back to being a team to be avoided in Europe, but they've gone the way of Monaco this summer.
That being said, it's just a case of having the scouting network to keep replacing players (like Southampton have done for years)
So we're getting cocked blocked by a fucking gooner then !
Dunno if anyone else feels the same but I couldn't give a shit if we get Sanchez bloke or not and if Ajax are turning their nose up at over 30 million for a bloke they paid less than five for a year ago Adios.
Their league holds them back in a big way. A shame as they are one of footballs classic outfits.
I think they like dealing with us as we have the same philosophy. It's like an extension of what they are doing but in a different league
That and the strong Jewish connections - they are kindred spirits really.
Football: Why Tottenham and Ajax Fans Have a Jewish Identity - SPIEGEL ONLINE
When you add the way both sets of fans appreciate the beautiful game, and we have an emphasis on developing youth talent it's easy to see why there is a closeness there.
The only issue I have is their kit - too much red!!!!!

Nope, I'm actually very positive about this.
Am I the only one who has no idea who this guy is?
Not saying that means much, be good to know how good he actually is though.

Thing is, even with a long contract it is very hard and disruptive to try and hold onto a player who wants to leave. Especially when the leagues being talked about are so different. It's possible with an older player but with a younger talent like this the player leaving for a free at his peak is unthinkable.
But I do see what you're saying about how you don't need the money, and more pertinently that the money won't help you as you sort of can't spend it.
I think you're right that Ajax may try to hold out for a larger fee. But it's hard to see anyone paying more than we are offering. The oil rich clubs would have made their move last month if they wanted him bad enough. I doubt Levy will go above £30M, he isn't going to turn this kid, a CB, into our record signing.
Just you and Danny Rose
Gone to Chelsea then - nailed on
Nothing has changed on it yet (I threw in a follow yesterday in case he went private).
