PSV will do better at home, but still. If they don't qualify for the Europa League they will be in big trouble since they probably included it in their budget...sell Toivonen and Afellay and finish 5th or so after looking so good in the first couple games. Toivonen is going to be hounded by England ...

Cheers Aveslacker. Glad you're reading and enjoying the blog. I've been told by one of the moderators that I'm no longer permitted to link to the site here, which is frustrating because this is obviously the best (and perhaps only) place to find dedicated Ajax fans who will regularly read an Ajax bl...

I agree, over the past few years we've had some extremely bad decision making about transfers and player contracts. That said, I'd rather have them go on loan and have to pay less of their wages, even if it was only say half, then have them rot on the bench and laugh straight to the bank with a full...

Give the partnership time. I have a feeling it will be very deadly in a few weeks or so, once they get to know how each other move, play the ball, etc. Don't forget too that this was a major away fixture, and it didn't seem like the squad were under instructions from Jol to attack very much. Most of...

I would prefer to see him go on loan somewhere, not pay his wages, and let him build up his value again so we can sell him. But obviously, if that doesn't happen, I don't want him to rot on the bench and suck up money while doing nothing. Yesterday against Kiev he wasn't anything special, but I gues...

We can do it, we are at least as good as Dynamo Kiev. The disadvantage is I believe their season has been running a bit longer. I'm not sure if they have any suspensions or injuries, but we have a full team, so no excuses.

This is great news Ajaxusa.
ESPN 360 was a reliable way for fans in the states to watch games last fall, I hope they keep up the coverage. Relying on crappy P2P links is a total pain in the ass.

Maybe Jol is waiting to analyze Sulejmani's attitude before moving for Mido.

Mido is a risk, so I'm glad he won't be an expensive risk if we decide to sign him.

PSV is definitely the most threatening team. Toivonen is playing fantastically recently, even for Sweden. He is turning into a very good player, and we'll have to watch out for him.

A good game, despite a few rough moments in the first half. Alderweireld was a little off tonight.
I thought Jozefzoon did well, although he was a little inconsistent with his crossing (although, who cares, its his first game).

Can't believe Wielaert and Jerhoeven are still floating around (getting paid?). Pathetic.

Thanks for continued updates on the reserves and youth teams SPL.

If he does well we will sell him for anything we can get, around 10 million would be fantastic, but even as I say that I laugh...he would have to really spark at West Ham if we were to get anything near that. Otherwise he'll either rot on the bench, or we pawn him off for next to nothing and take a ...

I am personally a big supporter of Urby. I feel he contributes a lot to the team and would be difficult to replace, especially the versatility he brings to the team. Can't see how letting him go for free would make any sense at all. Would end up buying some garbage left-winger to replace him and be ...

Can Villa really be interested? I mean, they just witnessed the whole Fulham thing. Purple presents a good point, but at the same time, can't the EPL clubs see the picture that we won't let him go and just ignore it? I suppose it could go either way...

Looks like the Mido transfer will finally happen within a couple of days. Not bad I suppose, like Ooijer, he is just going to be backup. There is no way he will start over Suarez/El Hamdaoui, so he will probably be a bit-part player. As for de Ridder, I'm not convinced. I'm glad we are putting him t...

It does seem a bit odd. I think hes just cover. After yesterday they realized they can use a defender who is experienced and capable. His performance against Brazil was pretty damn good in the World Cup, plus he was a free agent. They can't be paying too much, he was probably about to retire if he d...

the right wing problem is getting frustrated. Beerens sounds like the best solution by far, if we can scrounge up the cash....

disappointing indeed lads. a very under-whelming performance. bumpy start to the season, hopefully it changes soon.

heads up and lets finish this next week, eh!?

We have had a 20+ million euro loss, but that is without selling players, which we have been doing for years as a means of managing the books and funding expenses. it sounds bad, but will be quickly made up with champions league and one main player moving on.

sick to death of this crap, as i said on my site, hes not doing himself any favours with his to-be ajax fans, making himself look like an idiot.

www.think14.squarespace.com - read the pre-match report.

Ofey- we didn't get the money anywhere. The board are probably trying to please Jol by signing some new players, and counting on the sales of at least van der wiel, and possibly suarez and steks to make up the difference later. Plus Mido was free anyhow, and de Ridder has to be incredibly cheap, you...

Wouldn't Chelsea not want Van der Wiel cup tied against PAOK?

Suarez definitely won't go to Spurs. Harry Redknapp wants a proven Premier League striker, so he most likely won't take any risk on Suarez.

www.think14.squarespace.com comment and let me know what you all think!

When it looked like we wouldn't sign El Hamdaoui, I was worried about relying on Mido too much. Now that we have El Ham, it is much less of a risk. I'm more than willing to give him a shot at this point, I just hope he can revitalize his career at Ajax.

www.think14.squarespace.com

Good for us to sign El Hamdaoui. If we can keep the most important players (stekelenburg and suarez) the league has got to be ours.

www.think14.squarespace.com - trying to get an ajax blog started, let me know what you think!

Van der Wiel will probably be left out. No point in cup tying him for this match, would decrease his value for other clubs by a substantial amount, and we are still looking to ship him out, especially after just spending €5 million on El Hamdaoui.
