Player Watch - Steven Bergwijn signs for Ajax

[McFlash]

Before anyone posts, the story about us agreeing the Bergwijn fee is fake. It was tweeted by a fake account of their most reliable journo, and Alfredo Pedulla didn't notice the account was fake and wrote a whole article on it.

Bugger, I was hoping this bump was because we had agreed a fee.

Not that I particularly want Steve to go, just that he's not getting game time here, is a decent player and recoups a bit of wedge for us to spend elsewhere.

 

[Harrier]

We should sell for the appropriate fee and not get mugged off by Ajax just because the player wants to leave, we’re not a charity after all!

He’s shown on international duty he’s a decent striker.

What does £30m buy you in the striker market?

Not a lot!

 

[leelee]

Bergy and 50m for Osimhen. Napoli just lost Insigne down the left side.

 

[SirHarryHotspur]

People complain about Levy being stingy over the years on transfers, just check out Ajax outlay on players transfer fees over the years , they will not offer big for Stevie.
Levy is a spendthift compared to Ajax.

Yeah so if we sell for cheap, Arsenal will get their man easier.

This makes a lot of sense. Ajax clearly can't/don't want to pay the money for him.

If we are waiting for Ajax to make an improved bid we will be waiting a long time, he s a good player and worth 25-30m, we shouldn't be selling him to Ajax at half his value.

Worse comes to worse, loan him out.

 

[CanadaSpurs]

Agreed to Ajax for 25M according to the ticker thread.

Edit: the ticker’s been sorted, cheers @synththfc.

Hahahahahahhahahahah that tells you all you need to know about Alfredo.

 

[CanadaSpurs]

It was £ but fake anyway apparently.

[SirHarryHotspur]

If £20 mil is true then that would be consistent with the buying history of Ajax.

 

[freeeki]

£20m sounds about right to me.

And frees up the #23 shirt for the Eriksen announcement…

 

[Timberwolf]

Hope we've got a few add-ons in there at least. 20m is a bargain for Ajax.

 

[McFlash]

Would've liked a few quid more, so hopefully there are some add-ons/bonuses.

Still, it's 20m in the coffers to spend and Stevie gets to go home. Can't really complain.

 

[Guntz]

This guy is a WUM

I'm guessing he saw the fake report this morning and is now jumping on the story.

 

[SandroClegane]

Pedulla and Konur are both WUMs, come on people.

Twitter: @mikeverweij is the Ajax man (Telegraaf). Deal is done when he says

Barely an update:

Barely an update:

I think this one could be in a holding process until we decide on a forward. We are apparently interested in Antony makes sense to hold up the Bergwijn deal so we have a stronger negotiating position.
