Unbelievable Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Fresh from winning the Dutch title in each of the last two seasons, Newcastle new boy Vurnon Anita is excited at the prospect of a new challenge in the Barclays Premier League. And having tasted success in most of Holland's major competitions during his time at Ajax, the 23-year-old - who will take the number eight shirt after signing from Ajax on Thursday morning - now hopes to challenge for silverware on Tyneside. In an exclusive first interview with nufc.co.uk, the three-times capped Oranje international also revealed how Tim Krul helped to convince him to join the Magpies - and confirmed his favourite position. During eight seasons in the first-team at Ajax, Anita lifted the Eredivisie title and the Dutch Super Cup twice, as well as the Dutch Cup on three occasions, as well as playing in the Champions League and Europa League. He said: "I won almost everything in Holland so the step was not difficult to make. Now I think we can also win trophies with Newcastle and it's time to do that. "In the Premier League especially, every game is tough so it can help me also to grow in my football skills." Anita was a product of the Amsterdam club's famous Academy system, and was scouted as a nine-year-old. So moving to not only a new club but also a new country was a big decision for the Willemstad-born ace. "Yes of course," he admitted. "They made me who I am right now. I've been there 13 years so it was a difficult step, but you know in football that things happen so I'm glad to be here." He spoke to countryman Krul, who he has played alongside at various levels for Holland, about what to expect at the club - and said the goalkeeper sold the club to him well. "Very well." he smiled. "He told me to join Newcastle, and said it was a very nice club with great supporters and everything is nice and that he would like me to come here. "I trust him so I think we can have a nice time here." Before signing a five-year contract with United, versatile Anita also spoke to Alan Pardew and John Carver about his role in the side. I talked to the manager and the coach and they know that I want to play in a defensive midfield place and that's why they brought me here," he said. "But I can play at left-back or right-back, so that's also no problem." http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20120816/a-new-challenge-for-anita_2281670_2886762 Well in Tim!

aussiemag Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Ajax have confirmed the fee as EUR 8,5 mill on their website. 6.6 mill pounds a fair amount to spend on a midfielder... most weve spent on a centre-mid since Scott Parker, who was a similar amount. Positive by the club. Im confident well get Debuchy now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I can foresee an issue regarding the money transfer if I'm being honest. This one isn't sorted quite yet..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Frank de Boer: "Of course we granted Anita this transfer. He's a fantastic lad who has always tried his hardest for Ajax. He has the ability to make his personal interest less important than the team. His departure will be a big miss for us. People talk about last season , in which he was pivotal in a series of wins that lead to winning the title, but that is not correct. He was very important to us before that period as well" "From our perspective we are a club that bring young players through. They play in our first team and develop so that they are ready to make a step up to an international top competition after a few years. We try our hardest to keep them here for as long as we can. It's always a shame to see them leave in the end, but I want to wish Anita all the best at Newcastle United.’’ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolution Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Those pictures are from yesterday, aren't they? Meaning he could have trained today with the first team. I think this one could be a very key transfer in how we evolve our game and begin a more controlling philosophy (keeping the ball, working it, passing to feet).
