He’s also playing better in the NT. Dares to play it forward more and those fantastic long balls to the wingers are sharper. Some defensive work clearly looks better as well.

Glad you guys learned to appreciate him for what he is… One of the best midfielders on the planet.

Any news about his injury?

Frenkie could be also interpreted as the best here. But they’re both very good at it.

We’re still talking about Girona yeah?

What a bs they didn’t get that much money. Look at their players. Savio failed at psv. Blind was a benchwarmer and joined as a free agent etc etc.

They’re just well run.

Ah Ziyech injured constantly? So the rumours are probably true ok fine not Ziyech then. Paying a bit extra for Tagliafico to get to the cl wouldn’t have hurt us though…

And yeah in most players except honestly akpom I see some future at Ajax for. It’s just that I mostly see future and not much now that is dragging us down hard this season.

Oh yes agreed it wasn’t just Mislintat. The board made a gigantic mistake with this half baked investing in the squad. We could’ve had Ziyech and Tagliafico, but we got forbs (nothing against him but he has some stuff to learn) Avila and Sosa. Etc.

Really they could have simply bought less players that cost more instead of so many. Sutalo, vd boomen, Tagliafico, Ziyech, Dest, Maybe go for zerrouki because we needed a dm?

The rest we didn’t really 100 percent need! This is also made evident by who’s playing now. It’s really a lot of players we already had and the new guys are playing only if the spot was really vacant like Sutalo and forbs or if someone is injured.

So the board made a huge gigantic mistake there with the caps. A cheap buy can be an expensive buy!

His best match was his first against Shakhtar Donetsk. We did have Kudus in that match though.

The thing is I do think there are some valid excuses like he didn’t get any of the players he asked for and the whole ‘build a squad while the competition is already on its way’ thing.

Berghuis and Maduro ‘backstabbing’ probably came after those two concluded that he’s not good enough for ajax. I think that part is bs.

But it wasn’t made easy for Steijn, that much is obvious as well.
