Agree with SPL about the money issue. Ajax have such a great academy with lots of talented players. They cannot give huge € contracts out like candy without getting into financial trouble. All they can promise is a fair chance to play first team football at an early stage. Of course Ajax are also gu...

Ajax have a financial problem as all small country teams do. We cannot splurge big money on 16 year olds. All the club can do is promise a fair chance to make the first team and point to the success that other players such as Hato have found. Hato now has a big transfer value that he would not have ...

It was only six months ago that we were all moaning that Bounida was going to leave. He signed a contract extension and will likely see first team football at some point next season. We have no idea what is happening behind the scenes at Ajax. I'm sure that management is aware of the talents and for...

I don't want either of the players unless they come on as youth coaches. Blind cannot play LB anymore and at CB we have Baas and Janse. Where is Tadic going to play? What kind of message would this send to the youth when we bring back geriatric players. These salaries they would pay are a total wast...

Ajax are really going back to concentrating on building up our youth again but the most outstanding teenager is Ouazane and Barca are interested. He was 16 back in January and I wonder why now its June we still cannot agree. I am not so hopeful. I guess they never learn. I hope he signs with Ajax a...

New rumours of Sneijder being involved as a coach. I think this is a terrible idea and truly hope that Kroes and Co haven't lost their minds.

I don't think he has gone through the license process, nor has he had any background. Doubt this is true, but who really knows?

Looks like Heitinga coming in as manager with Keizer his principal assistant. Announcement to be made today. Only thing left to resolve is the agreement with Liverpool. At least this brings back an Ajax pedigree!

I wonder if Farioli made a big mistake by jumping ship after only one season AND with the black mark that he lost the championship with what should have been a cakewalk. I'm not sure any big club will take a chance with him right now and he might have to take a lesser position. He threw away a chanc...

Too bad we cannot sue Mislintat for malpractice!!!!!!!!!!!!

Simonis extended with Go Ahead Eagles. Reiziger extended with Jong Oranje. ten Hag signed by Leverkusen. Who is possibly left for Ajax to get? Marcel Keizer has been mentioned but he had a bad experience the last time (in part because of the Nouri tragedy).

Think ETH should come back but we have so many rubbish players to get rid of . Reading Showtime everyone wants Kroes out but it is still going to take another year to clear up Mislintat's mess. I think it's too soon to make any judgement on Kroes. I did a post a while back listing all the Overmars ...

I really can't take another year of the same players with Heitinga as coach.

Heitinga is Slot's #2 at Liverpool for what that is worth.

ten Hag may take the Leverkusen position if offered. If so, it will be either Reiziger or maybe even Heitinga.

Talk of Ten Hag or Simionse of GAE . I think ETH will be coach by next weekend and Tadic signed. An interesting summer awaits . Do we really want to sign a 36 year old player who has no real position? How much is he going to cost? If this is the route Kroes is leading us down, I'm not sure that I w...

Here are the players on Loan: Alders (FC Twente) - maybe had one first team game Avila (Foralenza -BRA) - until December Goojier (PEC Zwolle) - got hurt right away but saw significant action at RB for Ajax last year Medic (Bochum) - his team was relegated and likely won't keep him Sosa (Torino) - he...

Full credit to this team that was so bad this year and that they came within two points of winning the championship is amazing. I am not one of those who moaned about dropping all the points in the past four games. Look at how bad PSV were in the first six weeks after the new year. Ajax really was s...

I think Ajax will have to pay off some of the returning players as they have virtually zero transfer value. Mislintat is the horrible gift that keeps getting sent back.

Those damn red 3 stripes

The best reason in the world not to use Adidas as the shirt sponsor. Unfortunately, they probably pay the most money of all the sponsors.

Sutalo is definitely my player of the season. It was a stupid place to give up that foul, but on the other hand Manschot had let much much worse go for 97 minutes. Is it just me or has the quality of Dutch officiating really become quite bad this season. Even Makkelie, who is considered one of the ...

Just watched Groningen highlights again ,Sutalo with the most stupid foul and mistake of the season and Pasveer goalkeeping on the goal woeful. If we lose the title by 1 point I blame these 2 players. I would not be so harsh. Sutalo had a great season and really helped the defense. If Pasveer doesn...

Home shirt for next season is released today: https://english.ajax.nl/shop/matchwear/home-kit I think it looks good and hope it brings good luck next season!!!

However remote, the championship is still on the line!!!!

Sparta still have a chance to qualify for Europe! Olij is a very good keeper and could have a great match. We'll see what happens. Yogi Berra the great Amercian baseball player and sage once said, 'it's not over until it's over' Stranger things have happened in the Eredivisie and maybe PSV will play...

Mark Engels U17 goalie now given a 3 year contract to June 2028

He is a great shot blocker and proved it in the Future's Cup.

this team keeps finding new ways to drop points. The team has defended free kicks pretty well all season long but failed when it counted. Maybe Sutalo made a mistake in committing the foul that set up the kick. Maybe Pasveer didn't do enough to come out and parry the ball. In the end it doesn't matt...
