Can we get to page 1000 before he signs??
Imagine if, after all this we get him and he is utter shit....
A Norwegian paper had an article today about a Norwegian youngster who was recently bought by Ajax from Herenveen. In the article was an interview with Overmars where he talked about how smaller clubs in football today kept losing players to bigger clubs, how that was ok and a part of the modern game (of course, since Ajax/Herenveen were in this story the bigger clubs compared to Rosenborg, the club said player left to go to Herenveen), but also how it was important that the smaller clubs got percentages from profits on transfer fees later in a player's career so that they'd get something back for their contribution.
I wonder if that may be a point of disagreement. We know that Levy might not like such agreements; as he bought Bale out of one prior to the sale to Real Madrid.

Please delete before Levy reads :avbpray:
Day god damn it !Err... that's a lovely offer?
surely its an oven glove. he is baking a tray of Brownies for his team mates
He also bought Bale with one.
The reason why Bale's sell on was bought out was because Southampton came cap in hand
And because Southampton thought that keeping the sell-on clause of Theo Walcott was a better idea than keeping Bale's, IIRC.
This has been never the case. As far as I have read Overmars only stated (already in the begin of july) that Ajax wanted at least €40 million euro's for Sanchez but that they would preferably keep him for at another year. These words have been taken completely out of context by some people thinking that if a club would offer somewhere around €40m Ajax would blindly accept and the player would be off.
Of course Ajax has tried to do everything they can to keep him on board, but Ajax is also very aware of their position in contemporary football and they know they are a stepping stone for a lot of footballers. Especially footballers that aren't from they academy and don't have any deep bond with the club itself (like Sanchez).
In general Ajax has a very good relationship with Spurs, so although the negotiations have been difficult I think (and hope) the clubs will find a way to agree on a fee and manner of payments.
Haven't seen anything in the Dutch media yet.
But the fact that he isn't in the squad for tonight's EL match, probably says enough.
I must say, a €42mil deal is a pretty good deal for us. Especially for Eredivisie standards.
Dutch media is saying that Wimmer is leaving spurs for €18mil and is moving to WBA?
I think the Wimmer move is dependent on City buying Evans
