Evander sno has joined ajax on a 3 year deal

Yeah I noticed that, I wasn't his biggest fan but I always thought he could do a job for us in the middle of the park (although we are kind of overloaded in midfield esp with the new buys)

Yes, f**king yes!!!  Any word on a fee yet or is it undisclosed?  Osasuna were going to pay around £2m for him so hopefully it's close to that.

I thought he was at the Olympics with the Dutch team.

He's a decent enough player who will improve.
Probably much better for him to be at a club like Ajax.

One player off the boo boys list

Its a pity sno. had to leave always thought he would come good for us, but prob best for both parties as some1 else wrote we are overloaded in middle of the park......Donati, Brown, Robson, Hartley, Crosas, all playing for 2 places not including the young hoops millar, grant and a few others..

Maloney looks to be a done deal, good signing, WGS. has said from the day he left that he felt there was unfinished business with maloney at Celtic so he will happy to have got him  back!!!!!!

[bannside]

Good business conducted today if Maloney back and Sno finally out of his (our) misery. Big Evander just couldnt get his act together at all at Celtic. Would be surprised if he ever makes Ajax 11.

Maloney to score 12 plus from midfield.

oh dear god!

i always thought sno had potential. he seemed to do ok in champions league games.

[Rav67]

He needs far too much time on the ball, he's takes forever deciding what pass to play and slows the whole thing down.  WGS was trying to coach him to be a defensive midfielder but you need to be able to actually tackle for that.  He's very similar to Donati who's ahead of him in the pecking order and is also crap IMO.  Sno wouldn't have got any football hardly this year so the move was best for all concerned.

Maloney signed - £2.5 million!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lfdown2]

fuk me, cant see how a year sittin on the bench in the premiership would constitute 2.5million!?

[Longshanks]

Maloney signed - £2.5 million!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought it was more 1 million??

Thats what we sold him to Villa for.

[lynchbhoy]

hopefully thats turkish lira
I'd not pay 500k for him
headless chicken/one trick pony imo

maybe he has learned

[Rav67]

I think it can rise to £2.5m, never heard what the down-payment was though.  When you're signing someone from an English club you can't expect to pay less than that for a 25 year old attacker unfortunately, look at Chopra £6m Kitson £5.5m Nugent £6m etc

[slow corner back]

The value of a player is all to do with how long is left on his contract, when Maloney left celtic he had a year left on his contract hence 1 mill deal. He probably signed for 3/4 years and therefore has 2/3 years left on his contract so costs more to buy back. Regardless he is an experienced and proven player in the SPL and gives options/ cover for left midfield and or second striker. I would see him as cover for Skippy who can drop back to midfield if under the cosh. By the way IMO he is a much better player than steve davis who is being heralded as the new white hope at greyskull.
