Greavsy 2,398 Posted May 7, 2017 Dijks has updated his Facebook with the following Read that how you wish. Would love to see him stay.Goodbye, Goodbye. Great to hear your name and to hear you have to sign. Thankyou everyone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diane 498 Posted May 7, 2017 Did you mean his Instagram page cause they were discussing on twitter how the translation on his page could be misconstrued Never thought he would stay if we didn''t go up and Im sure he''s got lots of offers on the table, some probably from Premier clubs maybe?

GJP 79 Posted May 7, 2017 Lower end Prem clubs maybe but I don''t think he''s that impressive.Would certainly have him here next season but I don''t think he''s shown anything to suggest he''s too good for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greavsy 2,398 Posted May 7, 2017 The reference I was given was to Facebook, but his Insta may be the same Diane.He has a year left at Ajax and wasn''t starting, so they would be open to offers I''d guess, and he did say last week his agent and ncfc were talking.Would like to see us at least try with a bid, but guess that happen until new coach is onboard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carrow89 0 Posted May 7, 2017 If he is no longer wanted at Ajax they will simply be looking for another club to take on his remaining contract. Where the haggling will come is what we offer him after that. A year with an option would suit us. We don''t go up we are not stuck with someone on the wage bill we might not need, or be able to afford. If we go up we can then appraise whether he is worth keeping. Whatever deal it is I''m sure it will be time limited ie it won''t stay on the table for him to come back to on Aug 31st if he''s had no better offer.

FenwayFrank 2,425 Posted May 8, 2017 He isn''t a premier league full back in my opinion, he may get an offer but probably would be keeping a bench warm somewhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TCCANARY 263 Posted May 8, 2017 In a recent interview Stuart Webber did highlight our lack of left backs but based on what has happened so far with players & staff I wouldn''t like to second guess what Webber will do as Mitchell Dijks was only signed to the end of the season with an option (presumably on the players and the clubs side) for a permanent deal.

Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted May 8, 2017 Yes, the understanding from when we signed him was that there was a potential deal agreed for the end of the season, but we assumed it would hinge upon us being in the PL. I guess we''ll see soon enough, but imagine there will be others interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coq au vin 0 Posted May 8, 2017 In my humble opinion, Djiks and Pinto are wing-backs. He''s fantastic going forward and love his interplay with Josh yesterday but he can only just defend - and it was against a pretty duff QPR side. I would love to see us implement a 3 5 2 on occasion with those chaps as wing backs but we can only do this with a solid centre. I won''t shed a tear if he goes but will be happy enough if he stays AND we sort out our soft caramel middle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 997 Posted May 8, 2017 I agree with all of that Morgan....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,165 Posted May 8, 2017 I bet we''d have got those 10 or 11 extra points needed had Mitchell been with us from the start of the season. Really hope he joins us on a permanent but won''t get my hopes up. The Grant Holt of left backs... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 5,447 Posted May 8, 2017 Agree, would like to retain him for next season. But isn''t this post his goodbye? Because he knows he is not staying? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessingham Canary 99 Posted May 8, 2017 Will be very surprised if he is here next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
