Mixed_Bag Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I always wonder what's involved in 'preparing' a bid. I have visions of Lee Charnley, Mike and Dekka gathered around a computer screen in Mike's office, typing the offer up in Word whilst deciding what clip art and fancy borders to use.

Guest Archie Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 http://www.telegraaf.nl/telesport/voetbal/ajax/12685308/__Ajax_paait_Anita__.html Says we're preparing a new €9.5m bid, and quotes from Overmars saying, "But Ajax don't want to sell Vurnon, that's why we've made him an offer up to 2015 or 1016. The coaching staff are very clear, Vurnon is very important to the team and don't want to let go. With his new contract he'd be at the highest level of pay at Ajax." Have to say the entire Vurnon saga leaves me a bit cold, but he must be good if ajax rate him this highly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rey Mysterio Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Never seen him play but he would be a hell of a capture by the sounds of it judging by how highly Ajax rate him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ilsteir Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Never seen him play but he would be a hell of a capture by the sounds of it judging by how highly Ajax rate him. Not sure on that. Anita is very hard to replace for Ajax as they require a specific set of skills for the DM-position given their formation and playing style (4-1-2-3 and possession based). They've spend half of last season finding a suitable player. There is no guarantee he will be as useful in a different type of team. Anita's price reflects Ajax' difficulty to replace him, which shouldn't be confused with an objective measure of quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 You must admit, it's got ridiculous now. Its beyond ridiculous now, its one thing being tough on negotiations but this time it seems to be backfiring. They are only the right player if they are cheap enough, its not always going to work that way, at times you are going to have to pay the asking price if you want the player.

Exactly and if the player is of genuine quality then you have to pay good money. It's not like the fans are expecting popcorn signings like the Shepherd era. It would be ridiculous if we end up missing our main targets for the sake of a combined amount of say 3-4m. Improving the team further with genuine quality would surely mean you'd get it back in relation to league positon, ticket gates, Europa league run etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Do you not think its important that we get our squad and team sorted for the tough looking fixtures in August? I know I'm whinging but it's not ideal. Take for example the right back slot. Danny Simpson could start those games knowing that we've spent all summer trying to get Debuchy in and that if we get him late in the window then he'll be sold. Hardly a massive confidence booster for him and I'd rather not have someone in the team who knows that essentially they are on borrowed time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 The same happened with Barton last year, he did alright other than his usual spot of going mental against Arsenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Of course it isn't ideal but it's hardly devastating going into the season with a side that finished fifth last time out. Simpson is a professional, I'm not naive enought to think it won't have any effect at all but it shouldn't deeply unsettle him, especially when you consider his contract situation has been rumbling on for a while.

Hardly a massive confidence booster for him and I'd rather not have someone in the team who knows that essentially they are on borrowed time. Of course it's not ideal and i'd rather at least get a RB in before the Spurs game because that's the only real weakspot in the starting eleven. But if you look across the board we are not alone, Mancini said he wants a couple more players, Ferguson, AVB, Wenger all said the same and supposedly Chelsea want a couple more too. As long as we do get the players in that Pardew speaks about before the deadline i'm not overly concerned. As for the RB spot, don't you have confidence in Perch there? i though he did well when he played there when we beat Chelsea 2-0 at end of the season.

Guest BooBoo Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Perch at RB is a decent shout, but I think Pards will go with Simpson if we don't get Debuchy in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
