In what light should we see the signing of Bakker from Ajax? He is not good enough for ajax. Not exactly a big talent. Typical player that would move to a midtable eredivisieteam after hanging around the first team for a year or so (He got some first team experience due to injuries)

How does that make sense? You had two teams, at two levels. You could get 16y old a chance with the 19y olds and the top 19y olds a chance with the 'leftovers'and returning 1st team players. Now you have 1 team (11 starting spots) up to 19 and then a big nothing up to the first team. How will...

Hey let me go to that club that doesnt have a youth team I can imagine him going to a club with more prospect but he picked the one that actively downgraded their academy Unbelievable

Would be the worst deal ever. Sell somebody for 220m. A fee that was put in the contract because it was considered impossible. Get sued by him for even more money. Loyalty bonus anybody? Then see him turn into an injury prone Michael Jackson look-a-like who isn't the big marketing machine...

FdJ said in an interview that Barca was dream all along t

assuming all rumors are true this is a very smart transfer. He wouldn't play at Ajax, at least not right away. He would never play for Dortmund or barca. Cant imagine anybody going to Spartak Moskou apart from the paycheck smart and respectable move from this kid

Ajax was about to sign him for 2m just before that youth tournament. One good tourney and he costs 10m.. Just snap him up and loan him out to 5 different clubs. Maybe he does an Ødegaard and play well for 6 months during 3y of being loaned out. Then renew his contract and keep loaning him out...

don't forget that VVD was 86m at Southampton. Nowdays he is probably worth 140m - 160m or something like that So a 19y old defender with his experience and future is worth a lot Salary wise it would be insane to pay him 2nd most of the whole squad. You shouldn't even include Messi in that...

the concept of a verbal agreement is so weird in the football world. Why not put it on paper if it's so specific Ajax has a verbal agreement with Ziyech. They will not be difficult when the market price is offered. They already agreed on that 3y ago. When he signed his 4y deal it was with the...

I wouldn't verbally agree the purchase of a cup of coffee with Raiola. I would make him pay at least half in advance and settle that he only gets 2 sugar sachets before he takes the whole box from the counter as he couldn't find any clausule on a max amount of sugar verbal agreement on a 50m...

Seems like some highstakes poker going on. MdL, Pogba, Neymar, Coutinho, Umtiti, Dybala, rakitic.. Club that moves first will lose out on a 2nd target.. selling one player will get you the budget for your first pick.. but who is really your first pick? Perhaps Barca is trolling Neymar.. maybe...

I just really hope he wont be played as right or left midfielder because busi or raki must play.

Come on Barto!

cant wait to see him play for barca match made in heaven

You guys are stunningly arrogant. Its amazing. You think everybody wants to play for barca and when they dont its about money Maybe MdL thinks: - valverde is mediocre - messi is carrying the team but old (not getting any better) - no guaranteed playing time - all their big signings fail -...

Would have loved to see him at ajax but on loan doesnt make sense as we are loaded. Leverkussen with Bosz seems like a good choice. Better than a malaga or a turkish team

If true its sick that they him that much Still think it isnt over as everybody just assumes that Ajax only wants 70 and bonusses. Think Overmars is just chilling with his phone in hand waiting for the bidding war

I would say the same as FdJ? I agree that FdJ is more valuable. He is of rarer breed and could become a Xavi like player in terms of dictating play for years. However, MdL was smart (or lucky) that he didnt sign last winter so his value went up.. Cant really say "6.3m plus 2m bonuses' Based on...

With lowballing I mean offering him a quite a lot below his apparent market value because Barca thinks he a) wants to play there regardless and save some money b) because they value him at that amount and/ or c) they dont think its good for their wage structure I agree that if a Chinese...

When barca lowballs for good reasons (valuation, wage structure) it makes sense but its still an offer below the apparent market value of the player. Sure the wages are insane. Nobody disagrees on that. I understand barca doesnt want to pay him more than FdJ. It makes a lot of sense to pay...
