Zoo Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 I like his Dad after that comment and I've long been saying that Alderweireld would do well here. Snap him up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonButtle Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Are we taking this as an alternative to Distin? or as a replacement for Heitinga. In fairness Heit's has played in a midfield role under Martinez so far. Quality signing if we get him, hopefully Mirallas has been on the phone to him putting a good word in.

Lowensda Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 I've seen some worrying signs with our CB's in pre-season, i'm hoping it's 'blips'. Alderweireld would walk into our team at present. SimonButtle, Romey 1878 and Sibdane 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I like Distin I'd put him ahead of him. If Alders signs I think he will be our main defender alongside Jagielka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Regulator Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 I'd like to see a deal where we give cash (2-3mil) plus Heitinga....he gets to go back to Ajax and we get a better younger defender Matt and SmashedCrab 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Regulator Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Straight swap. They both have a year left. That would be ideal however I doubt they'd see the merit in taking a player who's older and not worth as much in a straight swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Heitinga is still a star in Holland. Part of their world cup team. Still has a much bigger name than Toby in Holland is my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efc1111 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 I think the biggest obstacle would be Johnny's wages as Ajax won't pay the sort of money he's on here. Even if we made up the difference for the final year of his contract, it would depend on Heitinga being willing to drop to a lower wage at Ajax.

c1982 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Heitinga has actually said he wants one more move (payday) before returning to Ajax that's why a rumour I've just heard on talksport could have something to it... Al Ahli in Dubai? Came from Warren Haughton who does their transfer round up - is he usually reliable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efc1111 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 If any club is prepared to give him his one last payday and take him off our payroll, and pay a decent transfer fee too, I'm all for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 5m for someone in their last 12 months sounds decent, but just about. Don't know much about the lad though, been a while since i followed Ajax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cake Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 How does everybody know how much Heitinga earns? Why would anyone not buy Heitinga because we pay him too much? His income is mentioned in this thread (amongst many others) so I've put this here. I don't get it. If he runs his contract down we don't renew it, he looks shite, he moves on, fair enough we don't get any money for him but at least we will have his ENORMOUS weekly pay whatever that is off our payroll because that, it seems, is what's holding things up. How much is it? Must be an incredible amount of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cake Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 rumours were that we broke our pay structure when we signed him, 60k a week is what I heard Well, that is an incredible amount of money (to me) and it sounds like it's a mega amount for Everton to pay but is average in the big scheme of things. If he is earning that and is holding out for the same or similar somewhere else then I don't blame anybody for not signing him as he isn't and never has been worth that much and he can only hope for something similar when he leaves with no additional fee involved. (Does this need to be shifted to any existing thread for Heitinga?) - good god, since mods have been mentioned a couple of times recently I've gone all nervous..... and I've only been here five minutes.....

We should keep tabs on their marketing director (Edwin van der Sar), manager (Frank de Boer), assistant manager (Dennis Bergkamp) and defensive trainer (Jaap Stam) as well. Talented players.

Fearthainn Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 This would be exactly the kind of signing we need. Not that we particularly need a central defender, but Distin, Alcaraz and Jags are all on the wrong side of 30. This is a young player with a lot of potential, relatively cheap, yet ready to go straight into our starting XI if needed. Which means he'll probably sign for Spurs or something.

thoward18 Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 I like the player but I don't really see how he fits. Alcaraz as our 4th CB? Don't think he'd be very happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
