Willem II 2 - Ajax 1
I think we learned a lot here. Ajax dominated the first half, with tons of possession but few quality chances. KJH missed one before Sulejmani made the breakthrough, a nice shot from the top of the box into the top corner. But the half ended with the [...]

Marco said “Let there be an attacking side worthy of Ajax.” And then he fielded a squad of KJH, Suarez, Sulejmani, Aissati, etc. And Amsterdam saw that it was good. And so begins the chronicles of MvB’s first season of recreating Ajax, renewing the vigor and pride that he knew in his [...]

Matchday number one is looming, and some pieces are continuing to fall into place. Departures mostly, but not the big one we all fear. Just the rancorous one that we all saw coming as well as the boring one that has been several years in the making. Plus, we know what small [...]

As tempting as it might be to wait until after the transfer window is boarded and nailed shut, this weekend’s opener begs for a few lines on how the season will probably go in Amsterdam.

Marco has spoken: KJH will stay. Not because Ajax will stonewall every bid but because KJH really is happy despite semi-conflicting reports from KJH himself. Now, I said I was not going to blog every transfer rumor surrounding KJH. And I am not. I am interested in how Marco is playing [...]

Simply awful headline, I know. It will never happen again. After being linked to several holding midfielders, Lucas Biglia of Anderlecht being the most notable, Marco went with the devil that you know (and who comes at a considerably lower price). The odyssey of Evander Sno has thus come full circle, for [...]

As we wait for the seemingly inevitable bids to come rolling in over the next ten days, I offer up to you a few diversions. So, no KJH news after the break. You won’t have to look very hard for it elsewhere.

After months and months (or even years) of speculation, it now seems that the carousel of striker transfers is set to launch it into high gear. Berbatov could move any second now, creating chaos and havoc among clubs that lose out. Drogba is off the market, Adebayor looks settled, silence is deafening from [...]

First of all, I did not see a single minute of the Amsterdam Tournament. So I would appreciate it if someone could add some observations in the comment section. But looking a the scorelines, I would say that we were more than a little disappointing. The tournament pitted us against some terrific [...]
