Elm is quality and will become even better. An extremely mature player in terms of how he plays and thinks football. Good passer, good shot. And I'm not just saying so because he's Swedish.

I'm a bit concerned as to how he would work in a 4-3-3 though (I'm sounding like a broken record with that ...

According to Swedish media, Berg has turned down AZ as potential new club and is only interested in Ajax or PSV in the Eredivisie. His prime target is Spain.

He was fantastic in the u21:s but I'd say that the fee we'd have to pay is not worth it. I'm also uncertain if he's a good no9.

Sad having to reveal my ignorance but who is Leander? Do you mean the journalist at guardian? And if so, what's the relevance that it is "his choice"? (not trying to be pushy, but I don't get the essence of your post)

How's about Sven-Göran? He's available... :blush.gif:

On a more serious note. I think that the criteria should be understanding of the Ajax legacy but not necessarily to much strings to it. Bringing back rebounders and old stars haven't exactly proven its worth in the last couple of years.

How ...

Bit more than 20 MEUR is quoted in papers. Seems to be more or less sealed.

Rumours in Swedish media that Ajax are mounting a massive bid for Markus Berg. He has even confirmed that he is aware of the interest from Ajax.

Sums mentioned were 150 mill SEK - 14.5 mill EUR.

That is a big ass chunk of money! The kid is good but no Zlatan, Bergkamp, Kluivert or even Huntelaar ...

I'm all for buying Charlie Davies from Hammarby to replace KJH. A front line of Suarez, Sulejmani and Davies would be deadly.
And who is this Davies? Swedish, Norwegian? Never heard of him... If we're starting like that then I would try to sign Ramirez or Teixeira. They might not have the greatest ...

Main question:

Why the hell aren't there any rumours and hot leads that we are buying strong and smart central defenders??

Wake up Ajax.

And then a biased post from my side:

We should get (have gotten actually) Petter Andersson.

Groningen just picked him ...

Hey. It's been a while.

Just wanted friends from the old and new boards know that there is a new Ajacied around since Friday.

Vera is approx. point five mtr tall and weighs in on 3.8 kg. Promise to bring her to the Arena before she turns 10!

Cheers.

I will always remember the high quality content that you continuously kept feeding us with.

I can truly say that a pillar of my internet usage and read is going to the grave.

Cheers and thanks guys!

Never been a bit fan of the Smiths but I love "There is a light that never goes out". Amazing song.

I've been listening alot to Bruce Springsteen lately. Went to see him some months ago and I have to say that he's done some really good music over the years and his latest album Magic has a few real ...

This is brilliant... :drecul.gif:

James Blunt 'forces' Noel Gallagher to move home
Oasis man getting away from the 'You're Beautiful' singer

Apparently, Oasis’ Noel Gallagher is selling his Ibiza holiday home because he can’t stand to live near James Blunt, who owns a nearby pad, anymore ...

I think people initially over-estimated Cruijff's new roll. At best he's a sort of temporary free-lance management consultant.

Y'know. The type that comes in, tells you what you already know (in a double-spaced report) invoices you for a small fortune, and then fucks off to a beach in Barbados ...

Arthur schreef:The whole Groningen squad is listed there along with the Ajacieden. Seems like a joke to me.

Aha....I'm so thick....

What the heck. If you go in to that page, Marcus Berg is listed in the "other players" below.

What's cooking? Do we already have a Marcus Berg or are we signing him??

Also reports that we want Lindgren back from Groningen .Not sure they are going to let that happen this week!

We really need to stop the Groningen thing here..enough is enough...why did we get rid of him in the first place...christ

Agreed. Feels like a couple of seasons ago when we were ...

Because he is shit and going bald.

I guess that's a reason as good as any...

So, he's been shit? I haven't seen much this season. From what i could tell in the beginning of the season he seemed to lack confidence in one-on-one situations, always taking the simple pass alternative instead of ...

Why is Kennedy certain to leave within 12 months? (sorry if I missed something, I've just been away for a long time from the forum)

Well,

I don't give a shit about what Cruyff thinks either as it appears that he nowadays appears to be making more a point about his own greatness and mind rather than having Ajax's best in mind.

Regardless of that, I definetly find Co as a very good option. As noted earlier in this thread, he is ...

Let's just get one and hold on with him for a couple of years. We need some fucking continuity in tactics, rectruiting of talent, player investments and training!

ALWAYS :anew.gif:

I agree, but we have to get a good one! We have to think long term. We have to expand and fix our scouting network ...

Just got PJ Harvey's new one. Sounds good on the first two listens but I still miss her mad days. Nothing beats a 45 kg woman out-shouting a wall of guitar mangling with the words "Lick my legs - I'm on fire!!!"

This album is very stripped down and mellow. Still...sounds nice.

On account of ...

Just about anyone that can decide how they want to play, what type of players they need to execute that - and then stand up to the board on those two issues - would be fine with me.

Funny thing is that these three criteria probably leaves the list very short. Sure Mourinho fits them perfectly ...

Nice!

The game is on Sopcast and TVants, making it possible for me to see a league game for the first time in a while. I truly think we are up for a clear winner today!

Today we get a win. For sure.

That's twice now that Jaap lost a crucial header-"game" against Berg and that's two goals in the arse!

F#ckin hell!
