    Milik plays in a different spot in Ajax than in Poland. The role he fills in Poland is played by Davy Klaassen in Ajax. I see Milik more as a real nine, though he does play the odd match in Ajax as shadow striker as well but only when Klaassen is injured. I am still on the fence regarding Milik, he did play a very good second part of the season in Ajax but in the Polish team he was back to wasting chances which he had been doing the first 2 years in Ajax as well.

    There is also still the chance Milik leaves Ajax which would leave us with our recent Colombian purchase (Mateo Casierra) as only true nine. Ajax is also still interested in getting Klaas-Jan Huntelaar as extra attacker, while old he would nevertheless still wreck face in the Dutch league where defending is more of an afterthought.

    EDIT: However, not signing Vincent Jansen in the winter break was simply stupid because Milik's departure is imminent no matter how you look at it, and Ajax does not really have any option besides Milik there either. Zivkovic is a major flop, and let's be honest Anwar El Ghazi is not a nine unlike Ajax sometimes seems to think he is.

    You can buy a shirt with whatever you want written on the back. That's not to say the deal isn't real, we don't know but that picture is completely fake. A cursory glance at the website will show you that. That's not even how they display their products.

    We make jokes at this guy's expense often enough, but I hope he's found safe soon.

    Long shot, but if anyone in the UK (or elsewhere) does spot him, do contact police.

    The pictures I have seen were taken apparently from the official ManU store though I doubt its validity as well. Either way as I said this is just a rumor, and it is unconfirmed obviously but I wouldn't be surprised if he is signed within a few days.

    Most papers are reporting it as sourced from the actual website.

    Couldn't agree more, as an opponent of course. I have a feeling he will be terrible, his performance at the EC16 was misserable at best.


    Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake

    But if you look at the performance of the entire Swedish team you cant judge him that hard because of that. Look at the rest of his season.

    Matt Ritchie and Dwight Gayle signed for United today. We're getting at least 130 points this season imo.

    By that logic, pretty much everyone who played in the English team will be absolute garbage as well. So he shouldn't have too much trouble fitting in.

    Why does it always take forever for United to release their new home kit >_< Most clubs have already revealed theirs...

    I wants it.

    Wasn't there a leak last month on the potential home kit?

    Hopefully we start signing some more players.

    Poor transfers so far imo.

    Bonucci + Nainggolan and a striker.

  17. #257
    I've heard Chelsea are going to have a stab at getting Nainggolan.

    One of europes best scorers, nobody gave more assists, not Özil, not Neymar, not Di Maria. Great player, and he'll be missed in Dortmund, that's for sure.

    Nainngolan is probably one of the prize finishers of this tournament. Well, him and Griezmann (I don't see Bale moving)
