€120 mil buy out getting slapped on him......Bargin.
I think a more apt example is Spurs in a PL context, they slowly climbed the rungs of the ladder to compete for the PL, CL, building a new ground with a strong history of player trading to enable them to get there.
Not sure many people have been to see Ajax, I have, they are a massive club. I think we are sometimes guilty of looking at other leagues down nose. Trust me competing for the Dutch title is very important in Holland. I would contend that no one in Amsterdam is bothered really about who wins the PL really, the 7th place battle or relegation. I think there is a tendency to be PLcentric. Apart from that, I could handle competing in the Europa League final and the Champions League the way they have this season, in essence whose to say the model doesn’t work, they are more successful then us historically and contemporily.
I’m surprised there is such debate over this, the reality is we have sold on almost all of our really best players for decades. Player trading in necessary and a reality for every club, bar none.

If were aiming for top 4 then we need 3 top wide players. Remember united with Giggs, Sharpe, Kanchelskis rotating throughout the season?
Also, Neres can play Sigurdssons position and Richarlison can play up front so we could switch players at ease.
If we could land Neres or similar then we'd be set in those 2 wide positions for many years.
Doesn’t really work for us , well I mean it is possible , but much more difficult because of the league we are in. Ajax, Monaco and Celtic play in inferior leagues and therefore if they signed say 50 14 year olds or whatever and we signed the same 14 year olds, maybe 20-30 of them would eventually be good enough to play in their league where as only 4 or whatever will ever be prem quality. This means they have a much higher chance of developing first team players and their first team and league placings re less likely to suffer, ours are much less likely to make it and will be more costly to us. We can not afford to play these players unless they reach a higher standard because our league is so much more competitive. Also they have CL to offer these young players and if a player scores a few CL goals his value jumps massively , we can’t offer that. Let’s say Lookman was at Ajax playing every week and suddenly scores a goal against real, and another couple on the way to Ajax reaching the last 8. All of a sudden he’s work 30-40m he also gets more mins because Ajax can carry him and still win the majority of their games. This doesn’t even include the wages , DCL and Henry are on 40k a week , so if we adopted the same model as Ajax or Monaco we would have a higher benchmark for them to reach for them to be cost effective and we would have to pay them a lot more in wages and because of our lack of CL or EL footy, we would struggle to get the instant transfer fee inflation that a couple of decent games against CL teams brings if and when a player hits a purple patch.
Think of it like this, he’s a young Brazilian winger scoring goals in the CL and he’s only 7m more than Bolasie.. makes it sound like a better deal
that is until you calculate Bolasie a few then you want to cry.
What exactly does "gathering pace" mean, have the club released a statement saying we are interested
Or is it just another "Sport Witness' website say we are interested?
Think we will be looking in a higher demographic of players myself
