ummmm... that was vermeer's fault

german paper kicker reports that we have been scouting this player:

http://www.goal.com/en/news/10/italy/2011/07/22/2585566/roma-closing-in-on-deal-for-ajaxs-maarten-stekelenburg Interesting that they say Roma "significantly increased their offer" yes, but they have the numbers slightly wrong: it was last at 7 and they raised it to 8-9 so yeah, i was wrong about th...

yeah, it seems roma have suddenly become very persuasive, stek now says he wants to go and i smell a sell-on % in the air

oh well... i really do not like to see ajacied going to that club, but what can you do?

some inside word: roma are not done hoping for steks, but ajax are not budging on the asking price, which has come down, as the papers say, 10M... and for now, no lower

i think de boer is trying to extend his contract, to be honest

I agree with your points about Anita's D - I'm just not sure how you don't have de Jong on the pitch particularly after his form in the 2nd half of last term (assuming he's still with the team as he hasn't signed a new contract yet). Anita also played in the back line last season tho Frank moved hi...

philippe schreef:Aissati has great potential. I hope he learned from his mistakes and will get another chance with Ajax.

considering how often lodeiro is hurt/away with uruguay, he can take advantage of this situation if he wants

acab schreef:Steks goes to Roma for peanuts 7 mln. is to low

its just typical italian tabloid bullshit, stek is not leaving to roma on monday, i know this for a fact

we are the final team entered in the U19 champions league

Besides that, if De Zeeuw goes and Lodeiro goes, do we then need a mf ?

i can't imagine them selling lodeiro, he's hardly just begun here and is a player we need

the new stek/roma skinny: apparently their bid was rejected and they do not appear to be coming back with another

I wish that more US players would go over to the Eredivisie. Too bad Robbie Rogers left Heerenveen, he would have progressed rather than regressed and might be the left wing of choice for the US NT right now. Trouble is they have EPL football in their sights when they really need to focus on ball s...

I'm not so sure he is, as I said I watched him a lot when he was at Hull on loan, yes he is strong but he didn't really strike me as a clever centre forward. Only scoring 3 senior goals in 49 apps doesn't change my mind any. On a plus side he is only 21 and can obviously improve. He's just not in t...

Yes, I think that is how it will play out. Coming to the Eredivisie will be helpful for Altidore. It's too bad that Davies was hurt in the awful car accident as he had the potential to be a great striker. He's now with my hometown club DC United and showing signs of regaining his game. Prior to the...

sorry guys, altidore will be sigthorsson's replacement at AZ

got that straight from earnie stewart

it should be done soon, likely right about the time we take hold of siggy

Roma want Steks and only want to pay 8m euros but Ajax want 12m . As he has only 1year let on his contract I imagine we will get 10m . I do hope he signs for a bigger and better club but we will have to wait and see. new inside info time: despite not being sure if they will offer enough, roma have ...

inside info time again...

roma were in amsterdam to talk steks yesterday, and again the takeaway is that they love him but the price tag will probably scare them off

SPL schreef:Good news . Not sure why Steks would want to go their apart from the sunshine, food and wine! Certainly not football .

well now, i didnt say stek wanted to go... just that he is roma's first choice, but one they have realized they dont want to pay for at the price :D

just a little inside info for you all, i share when i can: stek is roma's #1 keeper choice, but it appears they do not like our asking price and are moving on to AZ's romero

I like his experience and his grit . I like his offensive skill set. Can't believe Ajax would sign him if the knee surgery was much beyond arthroscopic . I think Lodeiro , Enoh , and Lindgren are the most logical to go...what with Anita , Eriksen , and De Zeeuw also in the mix. I say keep Demy. I l...

ajaxcolombia schreef:It was certainly about Serero not Janssen!

oops!

never mind then...

ajaxcolombia schreef:Very welcome addition. What does this mean to Nicolas Lodeiro? No youtube highlights, only an interview with the lad who looks really really young. Hope he succeeds like Pienaar did before him.

janssen would not take lodeiro minutes... he will mostly take enoh minutes

To go back to the Janssen issue, it would be like Arsenal buying Gareth Barry, decent left foot, nothing special. A 30+ Englishman who, although a good player would probably stifle 1 or 2 youngsters development. I seriously hope Ajax do not buy him. If they have to buy a midfielder buy Schaars or a...

yes, VDW was down this season, but he was terrific yesterday

i was in the ArenA, but did not bring my camera
