I can't understand why you called it a simple fact, if you don't if that's the case. In and off the pitch?? Please! !!

Mark Bright said in one of the U23 games, that JR doesn’t work hard enough without the ball, and until he learns how to, RH won’t pick him.
Maybe he’ll have to forget about playing midfield... left back or centre back seem to be his only options

TAM do you know him personally?

You post as if you are an ITK.

If that is true god knows what Hodgson is asking Schlupp to do off the ball.

No way he gets anywhere near that first team!

Looking at the ins and outs at Ajax in recent years they have a ridiculously high turnover of players, albeit they won't have all been first team squad.

Last year in addition to Jairo the two other high profile sales were Davy Klaassen to Everton, which was hardly a success as he has since been sold to Werder Bremen, and Davinson Sanchez to Spurs.

Sure there's a reason FdB bought him but there's also a reason SP hired FdB. Sometimes it just doesn't work

Yep. This.

Being linked to Besiktas. Was also linked to Turkey in the last window.

I like Riedewald, he's a tidy player but he just doesn't fit in with our style at all. He could have moulded himself a little more I suppose but it seems he never wanted to. Had a good game against Man City and could have developed into the deep playmaker after Cabaye. He just doesn't possess the tenacity or energy from what I've seen of him.

Hopefully it would be a permanent deal, another wasted wage that would be freed up. I imagine he's on a fair bit as well, at least £40k p/w I'd say.

Interesting. I think he should be converted back to centre half. Not sure he is good enough at defending for that position but harsh to write him off after a mailing against one of the most aerially dominant centre forwards the Premier League has seen in recent times (Mounie). Squad centre back he might be worth persevering with. Left footed and an excellent passer, if he can defend competently enough he might be useful cover for Sakho.

He is still only 22. Surely we can drill him to get up to pace for the premier league. Given his technical ability, eye for a pass and versatility he could be a useful squad member.

It's funny how football works. You find a talented young player and then dont want him.

It happens .

Would much rather we loan him out and get him some game time

Ray Lewington was at a Q&A event a few months ago. Was asked about Riedewald.
He said that he and Roy only really saw Riedewald as a defensive midfielder and only as cover for Luca. Careful with his words but the general gist was that he lacked intensity. Was quite clear that they felt he wasn't a defender.

I've read this quite a few times on here and Twitter. Seems like they really don't like him, and in return he no longer feels an affinity to the club either. He was laughing after Watford knocked us out of the cup, so I doubt there's any rescuing of the relationship now. Just a matter of minimising our losses, quite a shame really as he could've been good for us IMO.

Because he's not good enough

Yep, he needs to move on. Both for the player and the club.

63 games for Ajax who apparently aren’t a bad team. Also capped at every level for the national side.

Yet not deemed good enough for us ��

Always important to remember that palace fans wrote off Murray and Jedinak as not good enough
