We can add 14 (holy number in Ajax) for Roger as well, but it still doesn't mean nothing... Numbers don't play - the players do. I think it is not important with what number they will play... We don't have a lot of money with marketings etc., so even number 99 (Wayne Gretzky rulzz) for Huntelaar wouldn't change the fact that Ajax won't be more popular in USA or Canada. I know that there is some kind of magic of numbers... And some kind of stereothypes that #10 is the best midfielder or something like that. But - who cares?? Well, maybe someone does, but not me, to be honest...

[Van der Vaart]

Huntelaar is our 9

[DanK]

Normally (and I do use the term loosely) don’t managers pick their 11 starters and give them 1 through 11. I know it doesn't stay like this, but would this mean that Babel is ahead of any other wingers?

I have a lot of time for Babel, so would love to see him have a chance from the get go.

[Blind3]

Heitinga at #2 makes sense to me. Babel at #8 doesn't. I see the best , most potent line-up as being Stekelenberg; Heitinga,Stam, Vermaelen, Emanuelson; Gabri, Perez, Sneijder; Rosales, Huntelaar, and Rosenberg. Second choice is slip Sneijder into the center, Perez to #11, and Maduro replacing Gabri. This also presumes that Grygera is history.

[Kowalczyk]

This also presumes that Grygera is history.

Yeah, I think that's a safe bet. I am pretty sure that Ajax will try to offload him, and that it won't be hard to find a buyer.

We have to think about the future. Vermaelen can develop into a great defender with a bloke like Stam next to him. That's our central duo for this season.

lets hope sneijder can stay on form. why im saying this excluding his world cup campaign?

both VdV and Pienaar failed at the number 10.
