What's the story with Becali? A nut job owner or something?
Where’s that Romanian journalist who broke the Hagi stories
They’ve won 3 out of the last 4 titles in a more competitive league.Ajax go through peaks and troughs. There has to be a balance
You genuinely not familiar?What's the story with Becali? A nut job owner or something?

@David Edgar founded the Gigi Becali RSC.What's the story with Becali? A nut job owner or something?
It's the areas of my own business that I excel in bud.For a guys who's names the businessman... You'd be fuckin horrendous at dealing in football transfers.
If we are held at gun point by Becali we may have toOne things for certain, we won't be giving them 10 million euros.
I’d be trying our luck at Octavian Popescu if we are shopping in Romania (If we do get the Bassey money)
They wanted that for Morutan too.. eventually sold him to Galatasaray for 4mSo they want £8.5m for him. Probably a stretch for one player even with the Bassey money
Was just about to post similar,The same folk that are saying keep Bassey will be the same ones who said we should have cashed in on Alfie when his stock was high.
If we get £25m + and a sell on we should cash in and reinvest in the team.
We wont get a better fee if he only has a year left or gets an injury!
Early episodes of H&H legend!@David Edgar founded the Gigi Becali RSC.
you do wonder if the bassey trasnfer is a lot closer than we think and that our targets have change to guys in a higher price rangeSo they want £8.5m for him. Probably a stretch for one player even with the Bassey money
Just get the boy to say he's gay and that nutjob will terminate his contact.So they want £8.5m for him. Probably a stretch for one player even with the Bassey money
How many players recently have gone from the Romanian league to be a success? Man crashed and burned at Parma, Mihaila has been shite, Cicaldau was good at first but has been stinking recently at Galatasaray. It seems a bit of an iffy league to buy from tbh
It also gives us that bargaining chip moving forward in negotiations with other clubs.They’ve won 3 out of the last 4 titles in a more competitive league.
We are not sustainable until we start succeeding in this buy low sell high model. That’s why there’s been so much investment in our youth teams and scouting dept.
If we get £20m+ for Bassey it’s the exact blueprint of what we are aiming to achieve. I love the guy too, but from a business side of things selling 2 of our stars a season for high profit would be ideal whilst reinvesting some of it to be competitive.

Genuine nut job they have a really good young winger called octavian popescu and he said he won't accept less than 100m or something ridiculous for him he's a fruitloopGigi Becali - Wikipedia

He probably does love it here, but the wage increase he'll get will be too good to turn down.What if Bassey doesn’t want to leave right now?
Well then he needs to sign a new deal...What if Bassey doesn’t want to leave right now?
I dare say Ajax could pay him minimum £30k a week which is probably about 6 times what he’s earning with us bearing in mind he joined us as a prospect several years agoWhat if Bassey doesn’t want to leave right now?
If he’s been talking extensively to Ajax then we have known for a few days and the bid must be at a level where we feel it can be negotiated to an acceptable offer.you do wonder if the bassey trasnfer is a lot closer than we think and that our targets have change to guys in a higher price range
When we reached the uefa cup final in Manchester, I don't remember us selling players for loads of money when that campaign finished.You would've been told you were getting carried away if you said they'd get £18 million for Dembele at the time, followed up by saying nobody will ever pay £25 million. The goalposts keep shifting, and the better reputation that we have for developing players, the more they'll go for naturally down the line. Ajax and Benfica didn't start off by selling £100 million players.
Not talking about the last 4 years mate, they have had this model alot longer than 4 years.They’ve won 3 out of the last 4 titles in a more competitive league.

Which is doable we supposedly bid roughly that for FulginiMore like €5.5m for Darius Olaru. Feyenoordwere linked a couple of weeks ago.
Maybe hagi recommended olaru, since they both play in the Romania international team togetherWe’ve supposedly sent scouts to watch him
Rangers then Ajax on the CV. Farkin tidy.The other way of looking at it is that his next move is a stepping stone to a elite club.
Does he want to compete mid-lower table in the EPL for Brighton or competing for titles and in the Champions League for Ajax? Ajax have an incredible reputation for selling players onto elite clubs (Barca, Juve, Utd etc)
Teams like Brighton are only one bad season away from getting relegated, in which even great players will struggle to look good.
Who knows? It’s been less than 12 months since they moved on…Did the 20 million we got from Gerrard and Patterson give us enough to "build for years" ?
Only decent right back I can think of is Manea but don't remember him ever being linked. He was pretty good against the puddle drinkers a few years ago when they played Cluj.Was there not a full-back doing well in that league that we were linked with? I seem to remember watching his youtube and he was scoring a few goals from right back I think. At the time we had Tavernier and Patterson so wasn't exactly priority. I can't remember his name but intrigued where he ended up.
With all due respect to that side, we fluked our way there playing backs to the wall stuff and then got horsed in the final. I don't think any of them were young and on the up at that point barring maybe Thomson who was ruined by knee injuries and Davis who swapped the Premier League for us after looking like a promising young talent at Villa. This team presumably had the highest goal average in the knockouts on our way there and then lost on penalties when the tie was a total 50/50. The second line is such a negative comment, with inflation the way it is it's as likely as selling a £10-15 million player now. Proper scouting should see any player going out replaced by someone who cost a fraction of what we brought in and that's where the clubs we want to replicate excel.When we reached the uefa cup final in Manchester, I don't remember us selling players for loads of money when that campaign finished.
I seriously doubt we'll sell a player above 30 mill the next ten years. Love to be wrong.
Even if we did, the replacement is going to cost us 3 million.
Aspiring to be Genk will take some effort tbfIt's definitely going to take a while getting used to and I completely understand that we have to sell players to keep evolving.
Don't think I'll ever like selling them no matter the fee though.
I think we may spend not far from that on someone during this windowOne things for certain, we won't be giving them 10 million euros.
He's a fellow Ambipedel Romanian who plays as a number 10 if that's true He's doing himself out of a jobMaybe hagi recommended olaru, since they both play in the Romania international team together
At some point in his Rangers career, I'm sure most of us were touting Kamara for a £10-20 million pound move and would've been very upset at the idea of him leaving for any less. Here we are now when his role in the side has been marginalized a bit and most of us would be happy with it. Striking while the iron is hot is going to be crucial if we want to keep developing as a club.People saying would like to keep Bassey another year. Hows that one going to turm out? Do they realise hes got 2 years left then we are in the same situation as Aribo, Morelos and Kent. Take the money now 25m and lets get a replacement in.
It’s not as simplistic as that and selling two players isn’t a rebuild.Not talking about the last 4 years mate, they have had this model alot longer than 4 years.
Genuine question. . Would you be happy for us to sell our 4 best players this summer and for them to win the next two leagues before our rebuild takes shape and we crack on?
No one is saying that is a guarantee but that is the sort of cycles Ajax go on
