They can apply all the pressure they like, the player can reject a contract from Birmingham if he doesn't want to go there.
To force him to accept an offer from one employer over another would be a huge breach of employment law. |  |

I suppose feasibly Ajax could reject our offer and say to Akpom Birmingham or stay. But Akpom could say "stay" and out them under financial pressure. |  |

But surely they could recind all other offers to only give hime the one option.....or get other parties to match the terms they've agreed with Brum? |  |

Imagine we'll end up buying him for £6M which seems ok business tbh. |  |

Only if they want to put themselves in a position where Akpom could reject Birmingham and stay with Ajax on full salary. | |

He still wouldn’t have to accept, and could sit in Amsterdam on €100k per week.
Ajax could offer him a chunk of change to leave permanently I guess. That’s where the risk is. |  | | |

From Birminghams point of view.... surely they must be put out that he's come out in preference to an Ipswich move and so I can't understand why they are so keen to strongarm a move for a player who's shunned them. Think I'd want to move on ASAP.
Think the Birmingham faithful are probably not keen on him by now. | | | |

Bit of an ego competition now, Brady and his merry men not used to people saying no to them | | | |

It's Hackney in reverse.
Player has the power. If Ajax want him to go someone he doesn't want to go they'll probably have to incentivise him with a hefty wad of cash, which rather defeats the object of what they want from the deal | |

This is really making me yearn for the days of finding out signings via teletext. |  |

Honestly, really is a bore now.
The fact he is still in Ipswich is enough of a tell that the pressure isn't doing much .... | | | |

And ... he's been here first, see the set-up - plus, crucially, have got to chat with KM in person ... advantage ITFC? 🤞🏼 |  |

I'm really not bothered either way.
To me its a functional signing....it doesn't excite me. I'm sure he could do a job here and he'll get my support but, in my opinion, he doesn't strengthen the team to a level that excites me.
I may be proven wrong but thats how I feel about the potential signing. | |

At the end of the day if we want him, we'll only match the Birmingham bid as an absolute last resort you would think.
Depends if Ajax are in the financial position to hold on to him if the player rejects Birmingham. | | | |

He's essentially done everything but sign for the club.
It's Ajax who are holding up the deal by going back on the original agreement. | | | |

....Ashton's ego will prevent him from going back in with a permanent deal.
He'll do the old "take it or leave it" routine.
And they'll leave it. |  |

Totally the opposite for me. Have you seen the video of his highlights? Really exciting player - pacy, twinkletoes tricks, built like a tank & uses his strength to out-muscle defenders, versatile in his positions up front.
A kind of hybrid of Delap & Hutch! I think he could make a huge difference for us. | |

Time for KM to use his power then! (assuming he really wants CA). | |
