I hope Mitea's performance will restore his own confidence and help to restore Blind's confidence in him.I'd sure love to see his speed creating problems the last handful of matches.

Glad to see Lindgren get a longer deal.I think he shows great promise.

Also, find a striker worth a tinker's damn if Babel is to play on the left..or as cover for him. Charisteas ? His form depends on what day of the week it is.i think he was a panic buy,albeit of decent quality.

It seems Ajax have made up their mind about defensive midfielders.Lindgren, Galasek,if healthy, and Maduro are in.Yakubu and Obadai are expendable IMHO. Sikora? Yo Victor,time to find a 4th division side somewhere. I'm more concerned about the fullback slots and replacing Rafael van der Vaart with s...

Glad to see former uber-kid Litmanen still has the goods. As for Sikora, pity he didn't get involved in the fight. He could've shown more fight there than in the whole of his time at Ajax..and I'm a Sikora fan.

Welcome back Tomas.Your participation will certainly be welcome.However, I'm convinced we still need more vocal leadership than Tomas is apt to provide.

I'd welcome any offensive contributions.Overall, I'm board as hell with Anti-Ajax.I had more fun watching Killer Whales in Puget Sound recently than watching Ajax. Wake me when they start playing like the team I used to know.

I like the fact that Danny Blind has kept on Ruud Krol as number 2 and brought in Gerard van der Lem. A good teaching triumvirate I think. I just hope that the teaching and the positive feelings expressed by several players will translate to a more intelligent and energetic last 2 months and beyond.

What are the rules for tampering, i.e. as in the Chelsea approach to Ashley Cole(still under contract at Arse), with a manager still seeing out his deal? Perhaps Pinocchio van Eijden :eusa_liar: is trying to cover his tracks.

IMHO, one reason is that Ajax has no leader now.The coach was a failure ; both in leading by force of will and in finding players who would do the same. How I wish a coach who isn't gray or standing around with hands in pockets.How I wish for a player with heart, guts, and a follow-me attitude to pu...

Stekelenberg has more of a future primarily because he's younger, athletic, and you can't teach height. Still, I favor Boggy's experience over Stekelenbergs size, agility, and youth by a slim margin.Even if Boggy does look like a spastic windmill when trying to flag down some of the crosses he faces...

I wish all the attendees a great day out next Sunday.Look forward to catching up with y'all in '06.

A pathetic 3 points.If we play as described,I see losses v. PSV, AZ, and F-Word in the future.And that's at a minimum.Glad I'll be in Seattle next weekend..3,000 miles from following Ajax.I'll probably be on a sight-seeing boat next Sunday. Either way,Ajax or bouncing around on Puget Sound,I sense f...

Neeskens? :pukey: Nothing like the Bored looking directly into the eyes of the supporters, then kicking them squarely in the groin.

I am not fond of Mourinho's whining, but the winning I could handle okay. I do believe part of the whining, the quotes, and his being very opinionated are part of a concerted effort to keep the focus, and the distraction, away from his players.I think there is a method to his madness.

I agree with Ko. Besides,any coach who can take a modest(financially and talent wise)club like RKC and have them within shouting distance of Europe is pretty damn good in my book.Team him up with a person with a real eye for talent and this lull we're in won't last long.

Ajax haven't been playing well enough that they can look past any side,even with the home fixture v. PSV on the horizon.A definite potential landmine.

P.S. Can we acquire a heated roof to go with our heated pitch? Just a thought.

Hopefully the postponement will help in players recovery from various knocks. Thinking of Trabelsi and Pienaar,for example.

Tell the other Co and company that we will gladly accommodate them on a date coincidentally close to the return from that exhausting trek to Ukraine.

Time for Willem II to lose the nickname "The Ajax of the South" .Now the name can be worn in earnest by RKC.Or at least, "The Ajax of the not quite as far south as Tilburg".

It was 60'F here yesterday. May your weather follow suit. Talk about fixture congestion. I think John van den brom may be calling a few more A1 lads into his side over the next several weeks.

If he can successfully lead Ajax through the next 5-6 weeks of the season( home to PSV and AZ, F-word away, Amstel Cup), I would prefer Ajax select Ruud Krol instead of Danny Blind.Blind, as my tag shows, is my all-time favourite player. But, he is unknown as a coach except as relates to the youth s...

I think the U-20 side is more likely to be where Maduro ends up.That way, he gets a better opportunity to play.As for Babel, I wouldn't be shocked if he got brought on as a sub v. Armenia. Obviously, Romania will be a BIG(!!) game,with as many healthy first choice players as possible starting. But, ...
