Davinson Sanchez

[Rorschach]

Fine, make it four years - meet you halfway, cash in yer hand, can't ask for fairer than that.

Simple. This lark is easy.

Is that you Daniel? You have been fooling us all along you little scamp.

 

[Yiddo]

Anything new in it? Or just the news from a few hours ago that fee is agreed, just the payment structure which isnt?

Not really said anything other than we have agreed a deal.

 

[Danishfurniturelover]

That is true. De Ligt still looks the business though.

I really like him, but Ajax are not a great team. really good player but can not play as a team.

 

[Nigeyman]

So hopefully we're getting to the stage where the lad can be given permission to travel for the medical as we're pretty close with the fee.

Hopefully we'll check the size of his balls as he'll need pretty big ones to play for us. That will form the bulk of his medical.

We are at danger zone for everyone else making bids still but anyone else can fook themselves as we're the mighty spurs and poch has convinced Dave of this.

Hopefully we can get this done we all link hands singing cum bye frickin ya and all in general agreement that levy is indeed a jolly good fellow.

You probably did not watch them against Lyon last season in the Europa, they were excellent, one of 'the' performances of last season imho.

If this one gets over the line I'd say that is it for Wimmer. Sad Son.

They have lost 5 of the starting XI from that game. They are rebuilding (again), and it shows.

Reading on an Ajax forum that Overmars has supposedly gone out very recently and said that there's no agreement between the clubs yet.

Let's wait for the picture with the scarf before we get excited.

 

[Daisuk]

I'm silently wondering whether this means we've accepted that we're losing Toby. I sure as fudge hope not.

Then Wimmer would not be going, but it looks like he is.
I think you could be a little pessimistic.

Overmars just on Dutch TV saying still in talks, no definitive yes, it is still hinging on the fee. Only one club in negotiations with them though...

Sanchez isn't playing tonight though.

 

[Danishfurniturelover]

Kluivert looks promising from Ajax.

If he comes is he a high-priced back-up or is Toby out the door? Or is Jan out the door?

We play 3 at the back atm, Dier is the lesser player of them. Sanchez likely need time to adjust. With Wimmer out we need all of them

 

[r-u-s-x]

We are as always needing to take a punt (40m but under 100k on wages) on the next best thing, if we are unable to off Toby what he needs to sign this is his 2019 replacement.

Neither, imo. I think we will play 3 at the back more regularly (sanchez--toby--vert) with Dier being used more in midfield again and Dembele rotated a lot more. We saw towards the end of last season how well Dier and Wanyama played as a pair, with Wanyama acting as a more brute force version of Dembele.

Sanchez being able to play right-back is also a bonus -- this signing makes the squad so much stronger in defence and midfield (by way of freeing up Dier). Hope it gets finalised soon.
