Scanning the dutch language forums, I've managed to get some updates on injuries.

Vertonghen, Davids and Leonardo are out until the new year.
Maduro is training with the group and likely to play this weekend.
vdWiel will likely be available for the Dec 8 fixture.
Gabri is out for this weekend; likely back for the Dec 8 fixture.

Does that mean they are BACK after New Years? I thought Davids and Leonardo would be out for far longer than that... Man, it would be nice to have them back...

My understanding is that they are pretty close, but the medical staff are taking a "better safe than sorry" approach.

You mean Vermaelen and not Vertonghen re injuries.
Bad news Gabri and Vd Weil miss Sunday hope Maduro will be ok.

We have one spare defender Colin !!!

Midfield will be down to Maduro Schilder De Jong with Kennedy possibly being used. Only spare midfielders fit are Donald and VdHeijden so we really are down to the bare bones at the moment.

Krohn-Dehli is found in the basement of the Arena as well and is now added to the squad.

Yes, sorry about that. For some reason I always get them confused.

Forgot K-Dehli. I think he really is in the basement at present. He has been injured but back in the reseves but would imagine he will go in January.

I am posting this here rather than trawl through to Ajax Cape Town

Evidently a 16 year old midfielder called Daylon Claasen is on trial at Espanyol and will move on to PSV for a trial . He has already trialed at Real Madrid and Anderlect.

Question. Why is this young man not here on trial as he comes from Ajax CT.

Given that we have got very little out of this African team why are we still bothering with them. Pienaar, Moekona briefly , and now Stanton Lewis
are all we have to show and now I read one of the young talents is trialing with another Dutch team.

Does anyone know why we are not trialing this kid( it may be we already have and dont rate him! )

Another dead group for Netherlands? Hope not. Draw in 5 minutes..

Ajax do have first hand priorities, so I assume that we're simply not interested?

I havent heard about this bloke though

SPL · Bericht door **SPL** » di dec 04, 2007 7:27 pm

Todays headlines states that the young SA Claasen is trialing with us now.
That answers my main question from the posting of the other day.

it was so sad an evening for OM

I hope it will be tough for p$v tonight too, so that they really feel down on sunday

Let's hope they're thoroughly demoralized and roll over this weekend and take it up the poop chute.

uefa cup is the solution : plenty to be busy with, but not much money

It's all about money I think. I just do not believe that any player from CHina could be Ajax-material. But it's always nice to have a few mln euro from marketing (shirts, maybe TV transmissions etc.).

Hey I was reading match reports from last night and saw this:

Real began the second half looking for a second and Sneijder's cross-cum-shot almost found Van Nistelrooy

Im dirty yes I know, but I couldnt stop laughing

I wonder how long will Koeman be Valencia coach, coz the results are pathetic when he came

If that isn't an indication that Urby sucks, then nothing is.

Urby was a great player, till HTC came to Ajax. I assume he will play well again soon.

I wonder if Urby didn't begin to believe his own press, sort of like Nigel de Jong did.

In any event, he needs to get better quickly.
