Mason 47 1,351 Posted January 25, 2017 Ajax left full-back, murmurings coming out of Holland saying that they have confirmed we are in talks with him.An entire team of left-footers maybe? AN doing what you do when you get bored on FM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lewis DW 11 Posted January 25, 2017 Never heard of him, but surely a left-back is a good thing?!!If he is anything like AN''s last full back signing, then ''come on down''. Big Ivo fan, my POTS by a mile so far... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wcorkcanary 4,315 Posted January 25, 2017 Agreed Lewis , Ivo is looking better and better, apart from the odd pen giveaway. My Ajax supporting mate rates Dijks. He also said we wouldnt get Virgil Van. Was right about Ricky too. Would love it if the Championship is more appealing to Dijks the the Eredivisie, i keep telling him its akin to the Jock Prem..... he hates that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lewis DW 11 Posted January 25, 2017 It''s strange how you''d swap a Dutch ''premier'' team, playing Europa Cup for the Championship. I''d maybe understand swapping it for Newcastle, but NCFC are hardly challenging for promotion.I guess money talks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lynn Canary 0 Posted January 25, 2017 Seen him a couple of times on tv. Hes massive. Knocks a lot of wingers off the ball. Id imagine he could play centre back too if needed. Got a good cross too. But its hard to tell how good these players really are when theyre playing against some really poor teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted January 25, 2017 The Mirror linked him to a £10m move to Leicester in march 16. Supposedly a left back or left sided centre back. A regular for Ajax last season. A bit part this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yelloow Since 72 53 Posted January 25, 2017 This from Sport Witness:De Telegraaf report on Wednesday afternoon that Norwich City are in talks to sign Mitchell Dijks from Eredivisie side Ajax. The Dutch newspaper explained that Newcastle United and Leicester City have also been interested in the player, believing he has the right qualities to succeed in English football.The 23 year old is a left footed central defender who can also play at left back. His Ajax contract runs until June 2018, putting the club under at least a little pressure to sell.De Telegraaf say Ajax have confirmed the talks with Norwich, which would suggest things are at an advanced stage. Dijks may prefer the Norwich option, because he’d stand a better chance of imposing himself than at Newcastle or Leicester.Sounds good if it happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Essjayess 307 Posted January 26, 2017 If Brady does actually leave, its certainly interesting that City could be replacing him and Olsson with a double Dutch signing, one a LB/CD, the other a LB/WH, i will call them Ziggy and Dixie, AN would seem to have nicely covered the departures, but of course its all a long way from being official yet. Two Dutchmen, called Marvin and Mitchell...cant get my head around that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,095 Posted January 26, 2017 I would still just as well see our scouts trawal the lower leagues for promising players.Less complicated all-round ie. signing and settling in to the English game. Probably less expensive too.I quite liked the idea of Angus McDonald from Barnsley (and to complete the rape of a promising young Barnsley team it would seem.)This seems to have gone cold though, if indeed there was anything in it.
