Really strange that there has been no rumours about him to any team. I thought he actually was Ajax best player in there CL run.

He seems such an obviously excellent option, why the hell is he still at Ajax? Arsenal will get a bargain if they snap him up for £42m ?
 

he is you know!

He's still there because he wants to be, already covered in earlier posts. So he signed new contract and turned Bayern down.

Arsenal can't snap anybody up, they have to sell to be able to buy anyone. No CL money for 4 years, already have Pepe and the CB from France to pay for going forward.

They are going to have to use whatever money that can get for PEA in the summer to buy others.

There’s obviously something I’m missing that all the big clubs are seeing. He had a buyout clause of €25m in the summer and no one met it. They’re now wanting nearly double.

There are a lot of people whom watch a lot more European footie than me that believe last season or the last 12 months of his career has been his absolute purple patch but are not sure of his absolute quality and whther he would simply be another streaky player.

They didn’t note his form at Twente then?

(we should have got him the summer Ajax bought him).

He's had about 25 goals and assists for each of the last 4 or 5 seasons

Need to put this in context guys Dušan Tadić last year had 28 goals last year for Ajax, the season before we bough Janssen he had 27 goals in 34 games for AZ. Its a risky league to buy from, hopefully Steve will be a success though.

Tadic is quality, and so is Ziyech. They have so much more to their game's than goals, Janssen sadly didn't. I'm not expecting him (Ziyech) to replicate his Ajax numbers, but I'm sure he'll add a ton of dynamism to the Chelsea team. Let's beat them to fourth and hopefully fuck this deal up

If you go back far enough, most of the high profile players signed from the Dutch League have been excellent. They were producing highly technical players when our best were still intent on kicking lumps out of each other. I don't think we've produced many of the quality of Bergkamp, Van Basten, Gullitt, Van Nistelrooy, Sneijder, Van der Vaart, Koeman, Rijkaard, Seedorf, Robben etc.... the list goes on and on.

Good player for Chelsea if they can get him. I think they'll have some competition though - possibly from Atlético if they choose to sell Lemar.

Yeah but when you look at the context of his performances against Juventus, Madrid, Us, Chelsea and Valencia he looks a terrific player who can do it at any level.

I agree Tadic is a technically good player, but he never came close to how he looks in Holland.

And yet he passed pretty much under the radar at Southampton.
