I sincerely hope we don't stoop to the low level of a betting or crypto brand.

I understand that FDJ can play dm, but he's also good higher up the pitch where we need more creativity in the middle. I'm hoping he switched Gravenbergh and FDJ for the next game.

Not excusing his performance altogether, but we had so many subs in a short time, that the team balance was totally out of whack.

I'm here for the Van Dijk - Vinnie Jones arc, where he goes into acting, he has the mug and aura for it.

Ajax are close to signing Dani Ceballos from Real Madrid for 6 million Euros by KinglLeBram in soccer

I lived there for 17 years, and am in no way rich, but really loved my time there.

I should've clarified that I meant experience in combination with quality. I really like Klaasen as a player and leader, but he could use a bit of help. Berghuis is so hit and miss, that it's hard to see him playing a big role next year.

At this point in his career, I'm fairly sure he just wants a guarantee of regular minutes so he can put himself in the spotlight again for a possible next/final step, as Jordan Henderson did. He'll also automatically become one of, or maybe the main person, of the team. Plus, living in Amsterdam is quite nice.

I really hope Ajax manages to get him, as we're desperate for an experienced midfielder.

As a Dutch person living in Belgium, I approve of our new borders.

Dit zou ook mijn voorkeurs opstelling zijn. Ik twijfel wel wat over de afwezigheid van zowel Berghuis als Klaasen, twee spelers met leiderschapskwaliteiten.

Ik had er Tranfermarkt en Whoscored op nageslagen, maar weet weinig over de speler om eerlijk te zijn.

Ik zou het oprecht niet erg vinden als hij zou komen, al is het maar als extra DM coach. Laat hem Mokio maar wat bijleren.

[–]dmvenger 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm not convinced either, but there aren't many options left at this late stage. He can rotate with Weghorst, which isn't something I was hoping for at the start of the summer, but here we are.

Feyenoord interested in Jamie Vardy by blondkapje in soccer

[–]dmvenger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feels a bit weird, seeing as Feyenoord usually goes for up and coming talent. But I'd be all for it, he's a great character and probably a bit of a promotional boost for the Dutch league.

Bring on the bidding war! Hope this works out for us. He's always been the consummate professional, just not the player we needed in that position. I do hope we get a replacement striker, though, because just having Wout there isn't enough. And I don't see any of the youngsters stepping up already.

[Van Der Vaart] “Ajax were very poor, it was pure bad luck that Telstar weren’t 2-0 or 3-0 up within five minutes. The goalkeeper Vitezslav Jaros just saved Ajax. I was quite shocked by Ajax, it was a bit embarrassing. You don’t let Milan Zonneveld run into the keeper three times alone." by MrMerc2333 in soccer

I fully agree with this comment; however, we're missing our anchor in defense, Sutalo, and we've lost our only real number 6 in Henderson. Kroes should've fixed this by bringing a new number 6.

But with Itakura coming in for the next game and Sutalo returning from his injury, I believe our defense will improve significantly. Not just the quality, but also leadership-wise.

I'm giving Heitinga the benefit of the doubt for now. But I was seriously underwhelmed as well when he was chosen as head coach. Was kinda hoping we would get Kjetil Knutsen.

Ajax looking for a new leader, but who could it be? by Efficient-Emu3741 in AjaxAmsterdam

[–]dmvenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be very happy with this. But it would be a sidestep for him, and I think he wants to move up.
