Struggling Calvin Bassey CAN turn it round at Ajax as his former Rangers coach Roy Makaay reckons the Dutch media are overreacting to his poor form. And fellow pundit Hans Kray Jr admits he feels sorry for the Ajax star, insisting he needs time to get used to Dutch football.
Bassey joined the Eredivisie side from Rangers in a deal worth more than £20m and it's been a rollercoaster for him since. He was sent off in the Johan Cruyff Shield meaning he missed their first two games, but recovered to become a regular in the starting XI and played every minute of their Champions League group stage campaign.
But the Dutch side went an incredible seven league games without a win between November and January which led to Bassey, often a scapegoat for frustrated fans, being dropped from the team ahead of their clash with Excelsior. They won that 4-1 and beat Cambuur 5-0 on Sunday, with Bassey snubbed from the team altogether.
