City to sign Dutch starlet Riechedly Bazoer..
- Thread starter sincity
- Start date
Signed for Ajax due to future plans with him and the fact that old players are running the place now. Gentlemens agreement is totally gone now, although the kid was out of contract since october. Strange thing...Ajax and Feyenoord never mess with each other when it comes to youth players, while both PSV and Ajax are constantly messing with each other.
He wasn't out of contract. Clubs in Holland cannot offer a contract to kids under the age of 16. PSV was already in contract discussions with him when he turned 16 on the 12th of October.Scio said:Signed for Ajax due to future plans with him and the fact that old players are running the place now.

I'm not sure how smart this move is going to be for Bazoer. He cannot move clubs before 1-7-2013 and PSV have already stated that they are not going to play him anymore. Being 16 years old and not playing for 8/9 months cannot be good for his development.
He's getting a lot of abuse (not racial btw) already by PSV fans and his teammates and coaching staff aren't very likely to be impressed as well.
He received concept-contracts from City but I don't know if he signed them.sincity said:How can Ajax sign him if we have supposedly got him on a pre-contract? Or was that just BS from journos?

You're right...my bad. PSV is having quite some problems with their youth prospects. Supertalent Bakkali who has been intensely watched by City
(<a class="postlink" href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2060132/Manchester-City-keen-PSV-Eindhovens-Zakaria-Bakkali.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... kkali.html</a>)
is unhappy too due to the lack of training time with the 1st team. Same goes for Mohammed Rayhi. And of course its no surprise family of these kids are befriended with each other.
Edit
Insider on PSV fan forums: Manchester City asked Bakkali to send them his PSV contract to see whether there are any flaws in it.
Aan deze info kan ik het volgende toevoegen. Enkele weken geleden (rondom zijn jeugdinterlands met Belgie) heeft Bakkali contact gehad met een buitenlandse club. Ik vermoed dat dit City is. Zij hebben hem gevraagd zijn contract aan te leveren, zodat zij kunnen onderzoeken of het geheel juridisch waterdicht is.
