[cloggypop]

New Dutch interview. He says he wants to take the step beyond Ajax to continue learning. He mentions that he will not go to Man City as he wants to play and he also mentions us having the potential to go back to the top. Link is in Dutch.

Can there be a more obvious come get me plea? The previous time, he 'chose' us over Newcastle.

 

[the count]

Is he any good and good enough?

 

[Hansern]

Yes and yes!

 

[rurikbird]

Can he defend?

 

[King Binny]

VK best XI : Vermeer, Janmaat, Alderweireld, V.d. Hoorn, Blind, Van Ginkel, Maher, Eriksen, Djuricic, Bony, Pelle

 

[Mystic]

Let's get him.

 

[cloggypop]

He came 4th in De Telegraaf player of the year.

 

[doctor_mac]

Is he dominant in the air, is he quick? What's his supa-skillz?

 

[rurikbird]

Most of his highlights I saw show him either scoring goals or desperately clearing the ball off the line. He definitely has a rocket of a right-footed shot and a nice first pass. But I'd like to know if he is any good at all that defending stuff. With Agger we need a "stay at home" defender more than another Agger.

 

[cloggypop]

He is more of a right sided Agger really. Scores more spectacular goals though and more of them.

 

[Hansern]

I rate him in the same class as Verthongen, so if you think he's been good this season then thats your answer.

Alderweireld is very good in the air.

 

[cloggypop]

From last month. Seems to rate him in the air and also says he is fast

Some crap article saying we've bought him and Eriksen for £25m and there are saps out there who believe this bollocks.

From the article:

Alderweireld has his weaknesses. He has has a fondness for losing runners. It appears he’s too casual in some situations. He loses his concentration during games now and then. The Belgian is certainly a talented defender but not mentioned as the best defender in the league like Jan Vertonghen was last season. Feyenoord-defenders Stefan de Vrij and Bruno Martins Indi are both described as more talented but Alderweireld has already established himself in an on-form Ajax side and has played against the best teams among Europe in the Champions League without falling through the ic
The fact that he is undervalued in the Netherlands is mostly due to Vertonghen, who’s without a doubt superior to his former compatriot. Alderweireld has been inconsistent at times but that has massively improved this season. He is having his strongest season in an Ajax shirt and has impressed.

 

[cloggypop]

You missed the bit about him being quick and good in the air.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Liverpool and Spurs target Toby Alderweireld is keen on a move to the Premier League this summer.

"England and Germany are the best leagues where I think I can take the next step," the Ajax defender told De Telegraaf.

"I have to go somewhere where I can play football a bit and where my style of play suits.

"On the other hand, I do not want to play for a team at the bottom of their league. I want to leave Ajax for a nice club, otherwise I'll just stay in Amsterdam."

 

[keniget]

Is anyone actually interested in this guy?

So far it just seems to be him whoring himself out on a fairly regular basis.

 

[StevieM]

Spurs..... probably, particularly if he mentioned us.

Bayer Leverkusen also interested in Ajax Amsterdam's Toby Alderweireld. Völler was looking at him in Belgiums' game vs. Switzerland.

 

[cloggypop]

Sami rates him then.

Toby #Alderweireld talked to Leverkusen, but keeps all options open.The Germans aren't willing to pay what Ajax wants, at the moment.. (1/2)

Kristof Terreur ‏@HLNinEngeland 2m
#Alderweireld hopes the interest of #LFC or #NUFC becomes concrete.#LFC talked with his agent in March,but never send an offer to Ajax.(2/2)

Ajax have announced that Toby Alderweireld has left training camp for personal reasons. Make of that what you will!

 

[gkmacca]

He doesn't like training.

 

[Fabio]

Someone's died?

 

[cloggypop]

Ajax are in for Mike Van Der Hoorn from Utrecht as a replacement (article is in Dutch)

[singlerider]

ME: Right, I'm telling you - I haven't fleshed out the details yet, but with a name like this, Lisa Stanfield's 'Been Around The World' is a sure thing. A SURE THING!"
LOCALNY: . . .

 

[the_khl]

He had to make sure Erïksen made it on time for his flight to the John Lennon Airport.

 

[Mystic]

I still think Toby and Erik would be a great, and cost effective, double signing.

 

[Mystic]

Only second choice to Papa John and Minas Tirith though.
