it’ll be interesting to see what happens with gravenberch. he’s been hardly getting any playing time at bayern and not sure who else would start him besides a mid tier team in Germany or a bottom tier team in england. Gravenberch is a better version of Bazoer, another player who thought he had an i...

Urby Emmauelson has signed for Utrecht .He never made it after leaving us . 100 Serie A games. Another 20 games in Europe. Seems like a solid, if unspectacular career. Look at other 'Talent of the year' winners from around his time at Ajax: Mitea, Maduro, Vermaelen, Babel, Vertonghen, Van Der Wiel....

I getting to the same point as SPL regarding FdB :baaa.gif: I don't see any top flight jobs opening up that would take him on. Maybe Bayern surprise us all and take him as the replacement for Guardiola as I have not seen an announcement regarding his replacement. Some German clubs have had a Dutch ...

Yes if I did not get confused about the ranking I think we are in pot 1 so could perhaps draw Southampton or other Premier League team for example Liverpool who are lower on the ranking list. ... No need to worry about this - Looks like Koeman is working his magic again. Can anyone remember a club ...

Jeffrey Sarpong has made it to New Zealand, signing for Wellington Phoenix who play in the Australian A-League. He's the 2nd ex-Ajax player at the club, joining Roly Bonevacia. Sarpong made some headlines when he turned down Chelsea when he was 17, along with John Goosens and Vurnon Anita. Since the...

I dunno - The 3rd time he got through on goal he managed to not fall over, so there may be some hope.

Does the new wage structure allow for bonuses? i.e, 1 million base wage and then say 300k for winning the league.

Fuck you Vermer. Just FUCK YOU. really? I mean really. Sometimes keeper needs to make saves other than balls that fly directly into him. Cilessen was never given a chance after all. So we've signed a reserve keeper for 3 mln and were too greedy to spent some money on a proper winger. That's a reall...

really?
You can't blame the keeper if the players in front of him just let the opposition through time after time after time.

No chance for Philippe to complain about refereeing conspiracies tonight

SPL schreef:... firstrow just shows loads of pop up sites of porn etc so unless anyone has anything better I will have to give the rest of the game a miss

I'm not getting that problem. (watching in Chrome with adblock)

sad but probably true.
I found a link here

I'm getting the same problem. Browser based streams are showing overtime for NEC - Feyenoord. Hopefully the flick over soon.

IIRC he was being courted by Chelsea 7 years ago (along with Sarpong and Goossens) but he stayed and now Ajax gets ~8million (and a couple of eredivisie titles). Another year would have been nice but I think 'betrayal' is far too strong a word. And he said he wanted to leave a month ago, so it's not...

...My one overriding hope is that Frank honors his commitment to Ajax and is not seduced by the NT manager job should van Marwijk step down. That has been the one thought nagging at the back of my brain during this whole disaster. What a miserable outcome for us that would be. For what it's worth, ...

It's one thing to say a player is not good enough, but unless you can name someone better then they deserve their spot on the team. Sure, the defense is a big problem, but is there anyone better out there? If you kick out Mathijsen, Vlaar, Heitinga and van der Weil, who are you going to put in? The...

Whether or not BvM is retained and he certainly has to assume part of the blame here, there will be a rebuilding job ahead. It's difficult to see more that 3-4 players from this current team remaining a factor in the qualifying up to the next WC . One hopes that there will be some announced retirem...

Kowalczyk - always optimistic about Oranje's chances Holland will suck big time and crash out in the first round. Fortunately, this tournament is not just about Holland. Germany the favourites, in my book. K. Before the 2010 WC: I think Holland have a couple of world class players upfront and a few ...

SO WHAT NOW MR. CRUYFF??? now that the barca youngsters are out... :biggrin.gif: well, in his words (from Netherlands World Cup Blog) "I don’t give a rats’ ass what kind of results the youth teams get. I don’t want them to win titles. I don’t believe winning youth titles work that well. They get co...

Come on... :excited.gif: Are you really all convinced that what happened after the incident is more relevant than the incident itself, in this case? :confused.gif: There are two incidents - The attack on the keeper for which Ajax has been punished, and the refusal of AZ to complete the game which h...

Looking at the tape it is quite clear to me that the goalie purposefully kicks the guy only in the legs. If he had truly wanted to harm the guy he would have kicked him in the head. So, at least to me, that was quite a self-constrained display of self-defense. The goalie did good. He defended himse...
