except one is ready for significant role in the Premier League and the other isnt
Of course, as performing in the Dutch League is a fantastic barometer for success in the PL
I was watching this highlights video against Willem and not sure what to think. Silky skills for sure though and decent eye for goal. He only joined Ajax in January last year, probably not ready for a move.
Well......it's worked for Sanchez, Eriksen, Vertonghen etc.
Obviously hear what you're saying but Neres has at least been playing regular football in a european league which is more than Edwards has been doing.
Having said that though, I'd sooner wait and see how Edwards does at Norwich for rest of the season before pulling the trigger on Neres.
*Waves a work permit at Eddie*
Janssen had 1 good season in holland after playing top level football for a year just like this guy. So let's not get too excited that he'd be ready for us.
Richarlson got one
40 million for Neres or 60 million for Sessegnon.
It's completely out of control.
He's not even had that. He's played a total of 29 games over 2 seasons for Ajax.
£40-50m now for completely unproven talent. The market has been getting crazier for a while now, but just shows that we should have made more decisive moves for attacking talent in the summer.
40 million for Neres or 60 million for Sessegnon.
It's completely out of control.
And to put that into perspective, Mahrez was available in the summer for about £50-60m. At 26 years old.
Obviously wages are a different story to these younger players, but according to ITK and media everything points to us upping our wages next season anyway with our increased revenue and market pressure.
I know I’m like I stuck record with this ( and for all I know he could have been asking for 200k a week), but it just bugs me that he was seemingly attainable as he would have been perfect for us ( and still would be). And now he’s had a better season and things are more settled at his club we have zero chance of signing him.
