IIRC, he did show up to train every day. In my mind that's deserving of the money!!!

Yes he did and if you take money away from f*cking Chelsea, it's always deserved in my eyes.

At that time he bought a very big house in Zwanenburg, nearby Schiphol Amsterdam Airport. He took a daily flight to Gatwick or Luton (don't know which one is closest to the Chelsea training ground) and showed up on time for the training every day.

Chelsea was pissed off having to pay a high salary a couple of years for a player that did not play for the first team. Meanwhile they used players like Mario Melchiot, also not a great defender.

They tried to provoke Winston Bogarde, wanted to get him into a fight so that he would punch a teammate or a coach and then Chelsea could fire him. But Bogarde new he had a big of an agressive character but meanwhile he thought "f*ck you Chelsea, you can't piss me off and I will take all your money"

Their training ground in those days was very near Heathrow so he flew from Amsterdam to Heathrow everyday.

[Cruijff]

And he flew from Amsterdam every day ,but their training ground in those days was very near Heathrow.

We post the same anecdote at almost the same time.

Yes you're correct, the training ground that time was very near London City Airport or Heathrow. Probably it's Heathrow as you are British you will probably know it.

[SPL]

I thought I had not seen your post ,but have just altered mine

[Cruijff]

Yes 6 seconds time difference between our post.

At the end of his career Winston Bogarde appeared in a Dutch tv commercial with the slogan 'Winston. Ton Winst.' You've got any idea what that means?

[SPL]

No ,please tell.

[Cruijff]

Tomorrow, now I'm going out to a pub to have some beers.

Perhaps another Dutchie who's English is better than mine could already explain this word joke / pun.

[Manneken Pis]

"Winston. Ton Winst" means "Winston. A tonne (ie. a thousand kilos) in profit".

[SPL]

Cheers fro the explanation.

[Arthur]

"Winston. Ton Winst" means "Winston. A tonne (ie. a thousand kilos) in profit".

A "ton" in this case means a 100.000 euros. He was in a commercial for a kind of lottery when they made this joke.

[Sandro]

Yep, winst = profit, and what a 'ton' is, is pretty clear. So this lottery thought it was funny to switch the two syllables of his name and make two words out of it : 'ton' and 'winst'...

[Cruijff]

Yes exactly! Thanks for explaning.

And this is the commercial:

Zlatan (34) Huntelaar (33) Robben (32) what a mouth watering front three attack that would be for Ajax!!!!

[Cruijff]

Zlatan (34) Huntelaar (33) Robben (32) what a mouth watering front three attack that would be for Ajax!!!!

True.
Can't remember that we've ever had an attack with an average age as high as 33.

But Arjen Robben doesn't like Ajax. Robben, and especially his mother, felt insulted by Leo Beenhakker when he was our director and Ajax were really close to buy Robben from FC Groningen.


Hot news today: Not only PSV but also Ajax is really going after Vincent Janssen now. Feyenoord is not likely to buy him as he is now getting too expensive for them and they don't like to admit that they made a big mistake with sending him away from their academy.

You can use Google Translate to 'cover' Huntelaars words:

Huntelaar over Ajax: "Ik overweeg het"

FdB had a rather interesting comment regarding Huntelaar. he noted that the club does need another striker as el Ghazi is the only back up right now and Dohlberg is not ready for first team action. No mention at all of Zivkovic. I guess he is on the outs with FdB and probably not long for Ajax though it's difficult to see who will take him given his very poor loan spell with Willem II.

[Tom_]

Also he said we need *two* strikers which makes me wonder what will happen with Milik...

[SPL]

What will we do with El Azzouzi as he is scoring goals for Twente! I assume he will be loaned again or sold.Zivkovic will be loaned and Hendriks our 3rd Jong Ajax striker sold. If Milik is sold not sure we will buy 2 strikers.

[Orange14]

all of this really depends on whether Milik stays with Ajax. Personally, I think el Ghazi's best position is as striker.

[Tom_]

Which implies that we need to find a RW for next season, too.

Get Lukoki back? Only half kidding -- at least he could beat his man going down the wing -- which none of our other r wingers can do.

Hmm not Lukoki in my eyes.
Sheraldo Becker and Queense Meening are playing better, lately. Ridiculous name by the way, Queensy.
