Considering Arsenal were willing to splash out £12 million on Theo Walcott- near unproven, and close to £20 million on Reyes, I'd be at least hoping for an eight figure sum.

Ouch. That's a bastard. So, he'll be lucky to play again in 2007, right?

For some odd reason, the name Wamberto just popped into my head. Where did he go post-Ajax?

What I like most about Edgar's return is the way its reminiscent of Frank Rijkaard returning in 1993. An experienced head, success in an Ajax team the decade before.

I very much doubt KJH will be distracted by rumours from second rate teams. If he leaves Ajax, it'll be to Spain, Italy or England. This won't evenr egister on his mental radar.

Donovan I rate very highly, and Convey too. Onyewu just seems like a big solid chap to me- I'm not convinced he'd be good enough with the ball at feet for Ajax.
