i'd much prefer to fix this and keep him and get more goals from him to win the title

i dont like seeing so many rash large changes, which seem rather numerous in recent years

as is so often the case in recent years, this was not handled properly by management, who seems to insist on jerking the squad around repeatedly

I fully agree. Of course, FdB is absolutely right to bring Ajax back to the 4-3-3. No individual is above that. But given time and proper coaching I can see no reason why El Hamdaoui would not be very useful.

Seems he resumed training, and after having a conversation with Frank, he want's to stay and fight for his place.

Good, because we'll need him when we sell Suarez.

Mounir could go to Galatasaray for 5 M€.

5 million?? no way. if he goes, it must be for more than that

for those who read dutch, he seems to have closed his case on our official website. reports yesterday he has offered himself to galatasaray..don't believe them.

Rumors, rumors...

Girondins Bordeaux are said to be interested in our man. Reported offer: 3.5 million, whereas Ajax demand five.

No idea as to whether there's any truth in this.

K.

so.... how is everybody doing over on frank's side of this issue these days?

enough of this utter vanity foolishness by the manager, i say put him the hell back in before he leaves

Did Frank kicked him in the knee (or is it the ankle?), or transmitted him the flu (or was it angina?).

I am curious how he will perform in the 2nd half of season.

With Luis gone , Mounir should definitely be a go to attacker .

BREAKING: Mounir El Hamdaoui has been banned from the squad for AZ by Frank de Boer. He has been added to the Young Ajax roster.

De Boer took him off in yesterday's cup game against RKC and the reason was no secret.

Reporter: "Frank, were you dissatisfied with El Hamdaoui's performance?"
De Boer: "Yes. I give my players certain tactical instructions. It is their job to follow those instructions and if they deliberately don't, I have a problem with that."

I'm getting a bit tired of this dude.

Edit: When journalists asked Frank de Boer why he has banned El Hamdaoui from the squad, he confirmed that "something happened" during the half-time break of Ajax vs RKC Waalwijk. He did not want to say why, but admitted there was an "incident" of some sort in the dressing-room.

K.

I was just posting that news. well, enough is enough.

We always knew this guy was a potential troublemaker. We knew that all along and the club must have known it, too.

K.

Yes indeed. But you know, one point is for Martin Jol: with him this guy would have never exceeded with his misbehaviour. Don't know why, but this is my feeling.
I am not saying that's De Boer's fault. Not at all. But this is what happened. Maybe El Ham was thinking that with a younger, inexperienced coach he could do what he wanted. I am completely with Franky: he is showing to have some great balls with this mr-ego-dude.
anyway, as De Boer said, "Mounir is not greater than Ajax. Not myself, too". So we have to think to our present.
with mounir gone (forever?), luis gone, mido gone, cvitanich out of grace (de boer was clearly unsatisfied of last training sessions) we have only Siem De Jong as a striker, and not a so proper one although I like him in that position.
is it the moment for castillion to show himself or suk to resurrect?

This is the news that I wake up to?? Wow, it will certainly be quite interesting down the stretch if this ends up being a permanent consignment to the reserves. It probably also means that we will not recoup anywhere close to the club's investment. Maybe Mido can be coaxed back from Egypt???

To be precise, De Boer said something like: "He is not bigger than Ajax. I am not bigger than Ajax, either. But I started a process and people who aren't with me will drop out."

Hats off to Frank. Well done.

I don't get it. Why would Frank be upset about a slow, attack-destroying one-footed striker with a bad attitude?

That's it Frank, given him the Morten Olsen treatment!

With Emanuelson and Suarez gone, I just hate the idea of playing the rest of the season without a number 9.

Well,you just describe Siem de Jong except the bad attiutude part. Ok, and the "one-footed" too.

I think Siem is a "foot and a half," certainly better than van der Wiel who I don't think has made a left footed pass in his entire playing career!
