Left back according to Wiki and an article saying Newcastle were after him in May.

 

http://nothingbutnewcastle.com/2012/05/blogs/newcastle-after-dane-who-turned-down-manchester-united

 

Boilesen started his career at Brondby before moving onto Ajax in 2010, and in his two seasons in Holland has only managed a dozen or so appearances for the senior side at the Amsterdam-based club.

 

That’s largely due to injury, with Boilesen tearing his hamstring back in September. That kept him out for around five months and is still causing him trouble, so Newcastle would have to give him a a thorough medical if they were to make a move for him

I think he's more of a left-back that can play centre-back too - bit like Silvestre or Abidal and is probably Ajax's first choice left-back now Anita hs been sold to Newcastle

That video shows him as an attacking, rampaging left back. Looks like a complete upgrade on Fox.

 

Looks like we're still in the market for that type of player then.

Encouraging that we are getting all these links to defenders. I'm started to be more encouraged that we will get in the necessary quality (and quantity!) of players to ensure survival this year. Lets hope we pull at least three of these off!

A guy on Twitter says he put this on football rumours a couple of days ago and wonders if the Mirror have taken it from there...it's about their level.

Looks a very intriguing player....

 

Nixon has been spot on and doesnt he work for the mirror?

Didn't the mirror post an article last week about how they source their transfer rumours? It's all from contacts close to the player, agent, club - some planted for whatever reason, but they don't pick it up from football rumours.

 

We've scouted holland heavily over the last 2 years, so can be sure there is probably something in this.

Yes but this isn't one of his stories and has no name attached. I would be very dubious until another source reported it. Doesn't say we have bit either, just that we are preparing too.

Looks too good on the clips, and is too young and promising for Ajax to let go in my view. Unless they are strapped for cash, but with potential Champions League campaign it seems unlikely.

Simon Peach seems to think he's available for whatever reason.

Funnily enough I thought the early clips showed a decided tendency to go to ground a little too easily, but you can't really tell with this kind of thing.

Well, good if he is. Don't we have a Dutch journalist contact now, on the back of the Buttner & Lens sagas ? Perhaps one of our twitterers can sound him out.

Ten appearances for Ajax. Five million quid.

 

Jees. We are definitely Premier League.

 

Chelsea are apparently willing to pay something similar for Shaw who is yet to make a senior appearances, other than a couple of sub appearances in the cup.

 

Walcott played 13 senior games before Arsenal paid £12m for him.

 

I guess if you've got clubs are willing to take a gamble, regardless of experience.

Fell with style though, befitting a £5m player.

I'm not keen to revisit the last left back we signed from Ajax, but he drove a Hummer, nearly moved in next door to me, and was described as "clumsy" by an Ajax fan I spoke to at Euro 2004. As well as hoofing at Crouch at every opportunity and refusing to play in the Championship.

I meant the last ditch lunge that nearly conceded an own goal really...

 

Fair point, I'll watch it again.

 

or ask one of my sons for the FM profile etc.

I know YouTube vids count for nothing but he looks decent,exactly the type of full back we need, a lot of those clips were in the last 20-30 mins of a game and he was still bursting down the wings,he may well of been a sub though so there is no telling.

I would be excited about this signing if it has any legs

I wouldn't worry about it, it's one clip from one video.

If any of them are true and its not just some sport editors lacking copy that have noted our desperation and our conjuring up names out of nowhere.

 

I couldnt give a sh*t who we are allegedly playing footsie with, its who we sign that counts.

Why on earth would journalists be bothering to conjure names out of nowhere? We are talking about Southampton possibly signing a centre back or a left back.

 

No journalist breathing air is that desperate for copy.

 

What a world you live in.

Usual upbeat input from you. Most players have been injured before. This guy is fine now...

 

 

Sure about that ? Sorry, I didn't realise that you knew more than what has been already reported

 

Upbeat ??? About what ?

 

If we sign someone who can walk without the use of a stick, I'll be upbeat then, but most players we have been so far linked with have had, or are still carrying injuries.

 

Mind you, if you.ve still got your "I saw Charlie George play" badge, then fine

Shaw is supposedly our next sunshine boy who has already been noticed by the top 5 who would turn heads with salary offers. Staying with us is attractive if there is a short progression route to first team football. Put a £6 Mio 20-year old in front of you as well and that doesn't look so good. He can warm benches elsewhere for more.
