Just started a game with Ajax and have got a large chunk of cash to spend. The squad itself is fairly decent but it does need reinforcing a wee bit. I need a RB and a MC/AMC and have a few people I'd like to buy. I'd prefer to buy Dutch players so they'll hit the ground running and not have to wait for them to settle but I'm quite flexible about that.

OK, my budget is 15 mil and I need a RB and a MC/AMC. If I have any change then that's a bonus.

Sahin 10 mil
Defour 3 mil (Ajax is one of his fave clubs)
Kuzmanovic 14 mil
Bisewar 5 mil
Trendalli 6 mil
Angulo 600k
Jovetic 4.1 mil

I may be able to buy Assiati (sp?) as well but haven't tried, I expect he'll cost me around 8 or 9. Rafinha is also interested but I expect he'll be costly.

Well for AMC you can get Rafael Van der Vaart. He would cost you 10M, is Dutch and has great stats. Whether he'll come to you, I dont know. Aissati, De Guzman & Afellay are three others but doubt if PSV & Feyenoord would want to sell to Ajax seeing as there's not exactly a lot of love between them!

You could look at Arnold Bruggink. I think he plays for Hannover and would cost you about 4M. Quite a good player and is Dutch. You could also try Kevin Nolan from Bolton. Good player and has second nationality Dutch!!

Rafinha is a brilliant RB and if he's available then get him. I think he has a 10M release clause. I think its a hidden release clause so you wont be able to see it. But offer them 10.5M and they should accept. Good price for him. You could also look at Justin Hoyte from Arsenal. Would cost around 3M and is pretty good. Ignashevich is free and he can play RB. Great deal imo! Try to get in Marvin Angulo for the future. Turns out great.

I think I'll buy Angulo as it will alllow me to spend more on players in other positions. Really, what I'm undecided about is who to go for at AMC/MC. Either I'll ***** all my cash on Kuzmanovic or buy both Sahin and Defour or Sahin and Jovectic. Defour may be a good choice as Ajax is one of his fave clubs but Jovetic is one of the players I always go for. Then again I could go for Banega and Defour/Jovetic and spend more on a RB.

Decisions, decisions

Btw, is there a good Dutch RB that I should consider?

That guy at Feyenoord is a pretty decent RB. Serginho Green I think his name is. Michael Lamey is a good versatile player (natural at RB & LB) but he's just moved to Duisburg so dont think he'd be interested in coming to you this season. Maybe you could get him next season. Solid in defence. Rob Wielaert is good too. Plays for FC Twente. Theres a guy at Heerenveen called Gianni Zui(something). IIRC he had really good stats. Those are the ones I can think of atm. Oh, and Khalid Boulahrouz can play there too if needed but he wont be available until next season as he's gone of loan from Chelsea.

Thanks

...was having a look at Gianni Z but was unsure. Maybe I'll give him a go, Greene will be expensive I think

You mean Giani Zuiverloon, he is pretty good in my ajax game (2009) My team there is:
stekelenburg (he owns)
diogo-garay-boulahrouz-criscito
modric-banega(dm)-VdV(am)-quaresma
cavani-anelka

And have all good dutch talents( guzman, aissati, affelay)

Thanks, Tom. Are there any other Dutch talents that come through the youth system that are worth keeping an eye on? I already have (excuse the spelling) Georginio Wijnaldum. I can't sign Zee-something.

So far on my shortlist are Bouwmeester, Ojo, Buijs and Castaigons. Are any of these any good? Oh, and finally. Are there any good youth players in Ajax's youth team? Thanks
