I remember you telling me that we were going to sign Vertonghen and how good he was. You were 100% right. Now we're getting Eriksen too by the looks of it.
How come they dont renew their contracts sooner? They are screwing Ajax out of transfer money.
I don't know if Eriksen will make it in the Premier League to be honest, Vertonghen is/was a big and strong player while Eriksen is small and fragile and Vertonghen was obviously the best player in Ajax and in the Eredivisie while Eriksen in some matches is invisible.
The contract issue is something that I really don't understand. Last year Vertonghen and this year Eriksen and Alderweireld. All three good players who are worth more than what they are sold for, our captain; De Jong has 2 years left so next season we will probably have the same situation.
Since a couple of years Ajax have introduced a maxium for salary (1,5m euro's) and I think thats the reason why players don't extend their contracts, however with Eriksen Ajax didn't even tried.
