Ajax snub Toon's Anita bid

MONEY TO VURN ... Toon must double bid for Vurnon Anita
ALAN PARDEW has been told to double his £4million bid for Ajax midfielder Vurnon Anita — or forget it.
The Dutch champions have wasted no time in rejecting the Newcastle chief’s opening offer for the midfielder.
Ajax manager Ronald De Boer values Anita, 23, who has three Holland caps, at £8m and will not sell for less.
De Boer knows that Toon are not Inita’s only admirers.
New Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert has also been tracking the midfield tough-guy.
But Newcastle are expected to be back with an improved bid amid fears midfielder Cheick Tiote could be on his way. The Ivorian, who cost £3.5m, is wanted by Chelsea and Manchester United.
