Jim, THANK YOU !! Here's hoping you're going great guns and that you and yours had a fantastic Christmas and New Years . My Mom had a stroke in July and it's been slow road back . Thankfully , She's one tough lady. Been following Ajax close as possible, but have largely been overtaken by events . Dy...

Here's hoping everyone had a very Merry Christmas and will have a magnificent 2014 . HUP AJAX !!!

Suarez is really playing inspired football . He looks the consummate pro and, in Gerrard's absence, consummate captain at the moment . Their demolition of Spurs and much of first half yesterday were works of attacking art .

Jairo Riedewald . Two goal hero !!! As many times as I imagined how this match would go , I never could've imagined this headline in a thousand years. Well done young man !!! Well done Ajax !!! Not always pretty, but the hard fought one goal wins sure speak of character . Hope everyone heals up and ...

It would be great to get on top of Roda early in this match. The better to take the air out of the Roda balloon .

Thank you Frank !! Thank you for all you've done to restore the Ajax brand and for your great loyalty .

If we defeat Salzburg and at least give a right good accounting of ourselves vs , probably , Basel , it will have been a good campaign IMHO .

The play of our number 9 is schizophrenic at best . It seems like it takes a second half of the season title challenge to whet Siem de Jong's appetite for goal . Bojan Krkic seems to me the most talented , if not always motivated . Sigthorsson is generally poor with an occasional splash on the score...

I'm conflicted on the subject of our continued european participation. On the one hand , I agree that the losing the ridiculous Thursday fixtures ASAP in pursuit of a league and cup double is a prudent strategy. On the other , WE ARE AJAX . The idea that we just get a nice gate and are put out at th...

Ritzmaier red (2 x yellow) on 91' and Davy Klaassen the hero on 92'. Cambuur hard done by, but that's football.

Feed the beast !!!!! Davy puts the class in Klaassen once again !!

Read on Twitter (VI.nl) that Davy Klaassen has five goals in eight Eredivisie matches this season .

Excuse the clichés , but time to keep the heads out of the clouds and put these bastards to the sword . Another demolition of a lesser opponent , a la ADO , would be just the ticket !!!

Well done lads . Way to avoid the dreaded banana skin match .

Agreed , though the lack of Sulejmaniesque insanity is refreshing.

Saw this on Twitter from Mohamed Moallim (writes 442 website) and the Total Dutch Football website. FWIW - Surprise... Ajax paid €2.5M for Duarte, new policy = €5M or less. €12.1M spent on 5 players by Overmars (July '12-present). €56.6M in sales.

Also this tweet from Mike Verweij (De Telegraf ?) : #Ajax onderhandelt op dit moment met zaakwaarnemer @ELJERO11ELIA Rodger Linse. Speler Werder Bremen moet nieuwe buitenspeler worden.

Alos this tweet from Mike Verweij (De Telegraf ?) : #Ajax onderhandelt op dit moment met zaakwaarnemer @ELJERO11ELIA Rodger Linse. Speler Werder Bremen moet nieuwe buitenspeler worden.

Found this on Twitter :Negotiations between Ajax and Werder Bremen over Eljero Elia at an advanced stage according to Fox Sports.

With an out of form Fischer , an out what the heck is/was his form Barca->Roma->Ajax Bojan, an out of Amsterdam Eriksen , and an out injured de Jong , the arrival of Lenin Duarte, etc... can't come a moment too soon .

Quite right Orange Goblin. How quickly I forgot that one. Agree with the point in New Players thread about Ajax dealing late, but would only say we weren't the only dance partner . Had to line up a suitor for Cristian and Toby . Bigger clubs know we are sellers.

Given their recent form, I thought Bale was already on loan at PEC Zwolle .

And probably will be again if recent seasons are any indication . Not that I'm complaining at all though. Love it that Ajax warms with the weather and has done it's best work between February and May.

Nineteen to twenty million is good business for Eriksen and Alderweireld. Nice to see Ajax being prudent and making financially sound decisions given our recent past and the current world economy .

The Lenin Duarte signing and the return of Siem de Jong to training with a ball at his feet are certainly good news . The rumoured 4 years (three if he proves to be good business) isn't out of line either.
