winchester_royal Let us not forget that this is the same Ajax side that reached the final of Europa League last season - not quite being good enough to make their first team in no way indicates he's a bad signing for us at this level.

Snowflake Royal First of all, welcome to the club. You've got to assume Tev and Jaap know what they're doing having been here a full season and knowing the league he comes from. I quite like the approach of buying younger players with potential and maybe giving them a bit part in their first season whilst they settle and then see if they can play a big role the next year.
On the other hand, I'm always wary of players who are described as being able to play in lots of positions. Pick a position and excel in it, don't be competent in five. That doesn't help us. We have decent depth, we need to improve the first team, not bring in ok cover or players who will 'do a job'.
Look forward to seeing how he gets on.

mambo3 so Japp prefers players who can play in mulitple positions but not specialised in any particular position. Now it makes
sense why sometimes players play what we consider out of position. Only one problem with that is I'm guessing that academy players are not taught to play like this so that why he brings these players in and the academy players are not considered. I can only guess he is better that what we have got but according to his stats he isn't no striker but sounds like he's a grafter like kermogant

Nameless there are plenty of players in the Academy who can play more than one position. Jack Stacey was a winger who played full back or wing back as well, several of the centre backs can play full back or midfield, Josh Barrett pops up as a winger, no 10, striker, Tyler Frost seems to play anywhere, Tom McIntyre plays fullback, centre back or midfield etc etc

Or JAAP signed him for one particular position and it just so happens he can play in others, which is a bonus.

But obviously not to Japps standard or he wouldn't have bought him.

What makes you assume that ?
You are aware that signing one player doesn't mean you don't select anyone else !
