LeoH037 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Ajax would be a great team for David, specially right now since the club is filled with young good players, and they are all playing amazing (I'm sure most will agree that the UCL final would have been A LOT better with Ajax in it) johnyb, Obinna, Cblake and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact they made it that far is a testament of the club's ability to scout for talent and get them playing at their best. David could not go to a better club at this point in his career.

Leon Bailey went for 20 million euros at his age and coming from Belgium at a similar level. I’d say anywhere between 12-20 million.

Obinna Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Ajax would be nasty. I would definitely prefer that to BM or Freiburg. The Bundesliga is a big step up, but the Eredivisie is definitely a level David would thrive in, especially with the players around him. I think 10-12 million Euros sounds about right. Also happy to see him stay at Gent. He just turned 19, there's no rush to move on. shamrock, WyattTaylor, king1010 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajax or BVB for me are the 2 best teams he could go to, both teams with a proven record of giving young talent with potential a chance. Of course, another season at Gent wouldn't hurt either.

Would love to see him at Ajax . Cblake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see him at Ajax . I don't know because I don't follow them closely, but I imagine 10M is considered low now a days in the European market, even for a prudent club like Ajax. That said, they'll probably push for closer to 5M and the clubs could meet in the middle. Or perhaps Gent would just sell him to Germany for 10ish. Maybe they'll just keep David? We'll see!

Would love to see him at Ajax . For an older player - no. But a 19 year old player they’ll see as an investment where they can spend some of the big money they made this season with the UCL and De Jong and reinvest it into a young player who can contribute immediately but still grow. 10-12 M would be cheap for David imo.

I would say that at this moment, they are probably flush with cash from the Champions League run and also the sale of De Jong to Barcelona for around €75 M and de Ligt possibly to Liverpool or Barcelona for a similar amount. I think if they wanted to splash some money for David, they could. Kadenge, Cblake and CanadianSoccerFan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta say, this list seems very Euro-centric. Not a single player from a non-European team, EXCEPT a lone exception - Barco from Atlanta United. So no players from any club in South America, Mexico/Central America, Asia, Africa, etc.... Cblake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
