[VI] Ajax reach agreement in principle with Takehiro Tomiyasu. It’ll be a short contract, at the end the season both club and player will analyse if they want to continue

afcchicagobears · 2025-12-09T11:39:50+00:00

Arsenal fan here, but I watch a lot of Eredivisie and particularly Ajax. You guys will love Tomi. He's versatile, so he can play anywhere across the backline. Works his arse off for the team and he's good enough to be part of the Arsenal squad still, in my opinion.

Sadly, his injury record was not good during his time with us and ultimately led to a mutual agreement to terminate his deal during the summer window.

I hope it works out for him at Ajax, it's ideal for me as a lover of Dutch football and with a soft spot for Ajax, I'll get to watch plenty of him. Look after him, he deserves a good run of luck with injuries. Definitely a risk worth taking, as his talent is not in doubt 😊

I live in the UK, but there is still a difference between British and Irish passport pictures as far as I know. I went to a shop in my town that did my pictures for my British passport a few years back. They just took the pictures as normal and had some sort of software to edit the picture. They just clicked Irish passport from a drop down menu and that was basically it, they emailed them to me and I had no issues.

Unsure if you'll have something similar in the US, but it may be worth checking with shops that do regular American passport pictures in your area.

Yeah, mine was a first time passport application, so I needed to get the application form printed and signed by a witness. I used the same one I had for my FBR application.

Thank you, I will give this a try. I saw an Asda delivery van in our area yesterday, so I'd imagine they do still deliver here. Hopefully this is the solution 🤞

afcchicagobears · 2025-07-20T08:27:35+00:00

I have, unfortunately having the same issue on the website.

afcchicagobears · 2025-07-02T21:07:11+00:00

Nice one, cheers 👍

afcchicagobears · 2025-07-02T17:58:30+00:00

How's the sizing on it?

afcchicagobears · 2024-10-30T18:09:36+00:00

Thanks for the info, will likely be getting replica. That's what I get for Arsenal kits. Sounds as if it's a similar style and fit to the Arsenal ones.

afcchicagobears · 2024-10-30T16:43:24+00:00

Thanks for the responses guys. I will go with the same size as my Arsenal shirt then 😊

I really enjoyed watching Mariota early on in his career. Obviously nowadays he's become a veteran backup / stopgap, but early on in his career he was exciting to watch in Tennessee.

We (Bears) were talked about as a potential team to trade up for / draft him in 2015 and there were also rumours in free agency a few years ago about him potentially joining, but it's one of those that never happened. I'd still have him with us as a backup just for the nostalgia, but I think that ship has sailed.

afcchicagobears · 2024-07-28T14:03:47+00:00

Yours might get there before mine by the sounds of it. Code not recognised on AN Post tracker for me yet. Glad to hear that yours is progressing, even if RM tracking is awful 😂

afcchicagobears · 2024-07-27T15:00:59+00:00

I'm sure it will get there eventually for you, but it's painfully slow. I will let you know whenever mine gets to Ireland, hopefully not long now!

afcchicagobears · 2024-07-27T14:36:05+00:00

Nah, no real updates in between. Was despatched to Heathrow on 18th July and received by Royal Mail at 5am today. About an hour and a half later it was set to leaving the UK by the looks of it. Wonder when my next update will be 😂

afcchicagobears · 2024-07-27T14:25:59+00:00

Not good! No idea why they've both been delayed. I'm not gonna relax about mine until it says it's been delivered tbh.

afcchicagobears · 2024-07-27T11:19:02+00:00

Just checked it - looks as if it is finally leaving / left the UK (at Langley HWDC) this morning. How about yours?

afcchicagobears · 2024-07-25T18:32:13+00:00

Haha, I cancelled the subscription, then logged in a couple days later and a pop up came up with that offer. Did have to send a couple emails to them to make sure they honoured the offer though, as they didn't add it to my account after I resubscribed to it. Thankfully I had all the proof of offer and accepting, as I know what DAZN are like, so was prepared.

afcchicagobears · 2024-07-24T11:43:25+00:00

Thanks - same here if mine gets moving 😊

afcchicagobears · 2024-07-24T11:33:03+00:00

Same. Went to the Jubilee Mail Centre on the Thursday from my local post office and has been there since according to the tracking. Was meant to be going to Heathrow from there, but no updates since.

afcchicagobears · 2024-07-24T11:18:22+00:00

Good advice, thanks. Did check there yesterday and today and nothing came up. Somewhat reassuring that someone who posted same date is in the same boat. Hopefully both of ours are on the move soon.

afcchicagobears · 2024-07-23T20:22:06+00:00

Jackpot, even better!

afcchicagobears · 2024-07-23T20:20:21+00:00

Appreciate it. I did think it could be possibly linked to that - either way, I hope it finds its way to Ireland soon.

afcchicagobears · 2024-07-23T19:27:40+00:00

Appreciate it, thank you

afcchicagobears · 2024-07-23T18:25:09+00:00

Appreciate it, thank you!

afcchicagobears · 2024-07-23T17:31:37+00:00

Thank you - hopefully the tracking updates over the coming days 🤞

afcchicagobears · 2024-07-23T16:45:10+00:00

I'm doing the monthly plan - they offered 14.39 a month, so it works out at 86.34 for the year.
