Jordy Brouwe - Ajax

Liverpool are reportedly ready to raid Ajax for youngster Jordy Brouwe.

The Reds are believed to have agreed a deal to bring the Holland Under 19 international to Anfield.

Brouwe has come through the ranks at Ajax's famed academy and he has caught the eye of Liverpool scouts with some impressive performances for club and country.

Ajax technical director Martin van Geel claimed he was surprised by Liverpool's interest as they were unsure if Brouwe was good enough to make the breakthrough at the Amsterdam ArenA.

"We didn't have the complete conviction that he was ready for it," Van Geel told AD Sportwereld

"Internally we have talked about Jordy a lot.

"That doubt stayed after Liverpool expressed their interest.

"I say that without bitterness, because I wish Jordy all the success at Liverpool."

Just been reading that on the SS website, dont know if i'm please or not after reading that last bit !   

'that doubt stayed after Liverpool had expressed their interest'  - whats that supposed to mean ?? 

If they don't rate him highly enough at Ajax, then why are we looking at signing him ??
At 19, surely his future should be sorted out if he's going to make it at the highest level.

So smiggs, I'm as confussed as you. (there again, no I'm not  )

lmao. That explains a lot then !!!

Egg on face comes to mind. I heard it was reported that Jordy wasn't signed up because Ajax wern't aware that anyone else was interested in him until it was too late and they basically missed the boat. He is reportedly top quality although that remains to be seen. Lets hope we got this one right.

Jordy Brouwe?
Who?
Suppose he is only young... and Rafa is looking towards the future.

After Arsenal Carling cup game I think Rafa is trying to bring in Quality young players in. Never heard of this youngster I gotta admit

Not good enough for Ajax...

You can see it know can't you.

He's going to be a world-beater and he will always recall - 'the day Ajax let me go'

At the age of 18, Dutch U-19 regular, 6-3 tall ... Worth a gamble as we will only pay around 50.000 Euro for him ...

Signed him now.  Transfer speculation at an end.
