Looking forward to seeing him in CL, that's where he will have to show his worth. You really can't judge a player on how he is playing in Dutch league. He's doing ok in the national team, but that's only been a couple of matches, hardly any against top sides either. Plus Ajax will really have to rethink their price, they were asking 20+m euros for him this summer. RB is just not an important enough position for that kind of money.
They can deffo re-think...
Ajax chairman:
"We want 20 millio for Van Der Wiel"
Gallianni:
"Erm, sorry, didn't you hear... We got Ibra for 24 million and Robinho for 18 million... 20 million for a right back... You are kidding aren't you... Mwah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... I'll give you 8 million and Oddo"
In all seriousness though... We can use the prices we got Ibra and Binho for as a bargaining point if there are not other clubs interested in a player, but we cant offer 12 million for a player if Bayern or Chelsea are offering 20 million. If VDW develops and proves himself in the CL I'd happily pay 20 million for him!!! He wont want silly wages, can hold down that position for years to come, get him on a 5 year deal minimum, and he offers more than just a right back, as he could over lap brilliantly with whoever is on the right as well... Him, Silva, Papa could be the start of a great defensive partnership for the next decade
We will just have to wait and see how he does this year, and how Papa does, and how our youngsters do... Lots of ifs and buts, but I'd love to see him in the red and black of Milan... And he could maybe bring his budy stekklenberg as well
