Yeah, but what kind of bozo journalist wrote that article?



Why the move?

[Kowalczyk]

This is everywhere in the media and it sounds as if it's true...

Defender Jürgen Colin, 26 years old, will be tested by Ajax. The Utrecht native is a product of the PSV youth system. He made his Eredivisie début for NAC Breda, then moved abroad to Racing Genk (Belgium) and Norwich City (England), where he spent the last two seasons (58 appearances, almost all of them as a starter). He's a right-footed fullback, who can also play in central defense. Henk ten Cate was his coach at NAC in 2002-2003.

Colin will go in training at the ArenA on Thursday and will be given three weeks to convince the staff and win a contract.

another defender? dude...

we got pletny

[Daniel]

No we don't, we only have one real right wing back defender and that one is Ogararu. That is not plenty..

[Blind3]

We do have John Heitinga and , in a pinch , Gabri who can play there if necessary. That said, better to leave Heitinga in the center and Gabri in mf. Better to get quality cover for RB. No harm bringing Colin in to see if he can fit that bill . Next , cover for rw.

Ogararu, Heitinga, Anita, Gabri, VDWiel all can play right back

[Philippe]

I thought Gabri left

[SE6Ajacied]

I thought Gabri left

No, that was Roger - he retired I think.

They can, but it isn't their strongest position. Heitinga play's the best on defending midfielder, Anita attacking, central and defending midfield. Gabri right/defending midfielder en Van de Wiel central defender. Ogararu is the only real right back. I think besides one real right back you have to got another one.

[ZoefdeHaas]

It seems that the Bojan Krkic interest is coming back, especially if babel might leave.

There's also talk of the possibility of a transfer to Ajax regarding a lad named Prieto Xabi

Colin is going to be contracted after his trial period. He's a right back as well. With his signing the defence is probably done.

What we are getting? Wingers (left and right) and a backup striker.

[The Purple Cow]

Well if the London media is to be believed Babel will be gone by the end of today or tomorrow morning at the latest. So certainly Ajax will have cash to splash, but I'm hoping that Edgar Manucharyan won't be over-looked in the rush to sign new forwards.

This is his season, everyone seems convinced of his talent, but it's now or never. This has to be his breakthrough season or it's all over for him at this level.

[Philippe]

We now badly need a midfielder and wingers (left and right) and a backup striker.

This is getting frightening.

Gone (or almost) : Sneijder, Babel, de Mul, Perez, Roger ...

[The Purple Cow]

"We now badly need a midfielder and wingers (left and right) and a backup striker."

..and a goalkeeper, Philippe - let us not forget. It's been a mighty long time since we had a good one of those.

[Frans]

Sure yeah. Stekelenburg has been the architect of so many of Ajax's defeats.

[Philippe]

sorry but I do not shares your views about Stekelenburg : I think he is an excellent goal-kepper

[aveslacker]

I wonder if Babel's departure (assuming he does in fact leave) won't be a good thing for Perez (assuming he stays). IIRC Perez can play on the left wing, even if he offers a different style from Babel. I quite fancy him whipping in good balls to KJH.

[Neefkens]

Perez left for PSV an hour ago.

[Philippe]

de Mul, Perez, and probably Babel, and Sneijder...

we would better make some moves now !

we wouldn't want the season to be over before it started, not again

[aveslacker]

Perez left for PSV an hour ago.

Well, never mind then.

[Philippe]

WANTED : a right winger, a left winger, a midfielder

[Van basten]

WANTED : a right winger, a left winger, a midfielder

and what about the striker? KJH is the only real striker. striker and left winger should be our main targets. and soon!

[acab]

i'm feeling bad about the new season. i don't thik any new player can succsesfully replays babel, perez and de mul. the season ended
