This says we're close to signing 23 year old Ajax defender Toby Anderweireld. Can play RB or CB. No idea if he's any good.
😆 Toby.
Read good things.
Please get mbiwa
Actually, my Dutch ain't all that, but i reckon they might have used the Daily Fail as a source.
Locking my own thread would be a bit undiginigied though.

Well he can shoot
New Tommy V.
Don't think we will sign him. If we wanted an Ajax defender we would have gotten Vertonghen last season.
Hasn't travelled with the Ajax squad to brazil. Not sure why they are going there, but it's fuelled this speculation. Ajax say he's stayed home ill
Vertonghen said he didn't join us because Wengie wanted to play him in midfield
What's wrong with that name?
Its a dogs name (like Rex).
But I think GM was refering to Anderweireld
😆 Pretty please with sugar on top - fuck off Gus!
He's right though 🙁
Rex is more a big dog name though, Toby would be a yappy terrier

But you should indulge yourself with Google translate gems:
This Heitinga was at Ajax Alderweireld should forget.

German shepherd. 🙁 Better than a poodle I guess...
That clip had just one incident where he was actually in defense (a 2 second scene). All the rest he's in attack - shooting, heading, celebrating. An Ajax defender for 10 mill, spends most of his life in attack? I thought we tried that already.
Toby would be an extremely energetic golden retriever. That shits all over the midfield.
Watched this guy a bit a few season's back - looked like he had the makings of a good centreback.
Fuck no.
No good then?
