Thanks

Ko will probably close this thread shortly, but I'll have a stab at it before he gets around to it. I'll also cross post this in the "Grab Bag" thread, which is where this would be sent anyway.

As far as I know the only Americans playing in Holland are:

Damarcus Fucking Beasley, PSV
Cory Gibbs, 010
Charles Kazlauskas, NEC
John O'Brien, ADO Den Haag X'C

I'm not aware of any others, although some of the posters on this board (Bluedaddy, Astabooty, Blind) might know a little more.

Why is this thread being closed?
The reason I ask is that a Florida native that plays for FC Haarlem now is coming to play for Ajax Orlando this summer.
I don't know his name though, I thought you guys might.

Thanks

At least not a first team player...
maybe in the youth academy?

Why is this thread being closed?

I was thinking about it, but hadn't made my mind up just yet...

Lemme explain why.

We try to more or less 'centralize' discussions, especially the ones that are normally not too popular and busy. In general, interest for Ajax's partnerships (Ajax Cape Town, Ajax Orlando, FC Haarlem and who knows, in the near future, FC Omniworld) is not too big amongst Ajax supporters. Our threads about Ajax Orlando and Ajax Club Partnerships in general (for all partnerships except Ajax Orlando) are not very busy and tend to disappear from the front page.

A thread like this one will, in most cases, get one or two replies (or less) and then 'die'. For that reason it may be nice to post everything about Ajax's 'partner clubs' to one thread (or in this case two, because we have a separate and slightly more popular thread for Ajax Orlando). That way, that thread will develop inti a longer source of information about Ajax’s ‘partner clubs’, which is more interesting than short questions scattered all over the forum.

In two months time this thread will be somewhere on page five and never be read again, whereas the Ajax Club Partnerships thread will return to the top of the page every once in a while, which increases the chance that your question about a less popular Ajax-related subject will actually be read. In the past a few folks complained about that and referred to it as ‘Gestapo-like moderating’, but the intention is actually very good: a question about Haarlem or Ajax Orlando with one reply is very uninteresting to the average Ajax fan. A thread with all the questions about Ajax’s ‘partner clubs’ in it, on the other hand, can be a good read and – eventually – a sort of database which will return to the top of the forum every once in a while.

Hope my explanation makes sense.

I was not sure what to do with this thread as it would fit into both the Ajax Orlando thread and the Ajax Club Partnerships thread. Don’t know where to link it to when I close it. So I won’t.

I understand. But my question was about a new Ajax Orlando player, thats why I started the question in that thread.

Sorry for the confusion.

You could check their website, but I am pretty sure you won't find it there.
Did you try to Google it?

Yes and yes.
It seems that FC Haarlem only has its A Team on the website.
And nothing from Google...

Any other suggestions?

Thanks Eric.

you might wanna drop [email protected] a mail.
it's a fansite dedicated to Haarlem FC, so I reckon if they don't know, no one will :D

else check the site of the Official Supporters Club Haarlem:
http://www.supportersvereniginghfchaarlem.nl/

And can you believe it, they even have a BB (go figure) for all 12 members ;)
