Ajaxtalk

heck, i'd have given him that clause at the time. more than 10 million for ryan babel, yeah right.

who knew then that rafa benitez would be offering loadsaloadsamoney for a squad player...

@ Ko:

No offense!!, but i've read your article about Babel's departure, and i thought it will be more "romantical" , khm.. i mean, i thought you are sad to see him leaving , and there will be more emotional parts on the article, especially a goodbye and love to see you again , or stg like this. (he played for us since the age of 8!!) I'm reading ajax usa since the start, and browsing this forum also since that, and there were like more memoriable goodbyes (maybe Van der Vaart, Zlatan , Chivu , etc)!! Or the fans didn't liked Babel that much? In my view, it's a good money for him , but also i'm unhappy to see him going, i liked the guy, he is a big talent!!
Anyway , sorry once again i didn't want to hurt You or your qualities, i see You as a very good writer! Take care ,
C'.


And to Ryan: I'm looking forward to see you again in 10 years time! :) Have a great success in Liverpool or anywhere in the world , and please help Oranje for their first WC trophy!! :)


HUP !!

Hey hey - he's back!

This is his old thread, re-opened.

Reportedly he's kicking serious arse in training, so he'll probably start against RKC on Saturday.

Interesting name. Did you lose a bet?

Hard luck. Six weeks injury. Ryan Babel will miss VVV, Dortmund, Real, and Philips.

Yep. Dislocations can be a lot worse than they sound. I once didn't play for over a month because of a dislocated little toe

Bad luck indeed as that means he wont be fit before the winter break.I expect Fischer to start regularly on that left hand side

You'd almost forget that our main man (Sigthórsson) is already injured. Now, there goes #2...

Siem striker; Fischer on the left, is what I say.

But it still sucks.

I think we should get for the coming games Boerrigter-De Jong-Sana up front.

Poulsen, De Jong and Shöne in midfield. Fischer on the left, Lukoki on the right and Eriksen in a free striker/10 position role. Hoesen on the bench and if he is needed Eriksen will drop to the playmaker role in midfield.

^^^ This.

Is Babel injured again?

knee injury ,not sure how serious it is.

Great!!! I read a GOAL.COM report that talks about surgery and a number of weeks to return...

He had meniscus surgery today and should not be out for a long period of time (weeks rather than months).

Man, how unlucky. Poor bugger. Was this in training?

Here's a tidbit from Ajax Netwerk . Excuse the herky jerky Google translation :


Babel after surgery a few weeks out of circulation

January 31, 2013 Ajax.nl

Ryan Babel's Thursday afternoon at the AMC helped to his left knee. The attacker had for some time suffered from the joint, which in the hospital a little calcified meniscus successfully removed. This makes it the coming weeks not used for Ajax.

On June 21st Ryan Babel penned a three-year deal at Turkish club, Kasımpaşa SK.

It was nice to see him back at Ajax (I thought he was useful, sometimes), but there was no real future for him at the club.

Good luck, Ryan.

Thread closed. Comments on Babel: Former Players thread, please.
