We can all blame Dennis Rommedahl for the scoreless draw yesterday in Wales. After talking up the technical prowess Ajax would bring to their tour of the UK, you would have to guess that it would be the defensive ability that would be on display when the match started. I have seen no [...]

A Proper Goodbye

It was truly a blessing to have been able to field one of the all-time greatest defenders over the last two years. Jaap Stam’s return to Holland and arrival in Amsterdam was much more than a hero’s homecoming, however. Stam’s presence solidified the backline for over a season and offered immeasurable [...]

A couple of friendlies and a couple of run-away goalfests for Ajax. If preseason friendlies are any indication (and they are not) Marco does plan on outscoring the opposition all season. And with the cumulative score of the last two friendlies somewhere in the vicinity of 15-1, it does not look like a [...]

The team began training camp today. A few new faces are sprinkled throughout, and Gabri now has a few guys to speak his native tongue to besides Luque. We all hope more new faces are on the way, and not just because we need them. Ajax has shown with shocking regularity that [...]

They certainly do not plan the European transfer window around American holidays. While I was enjoying the 4th of July with barbecue, fireworks, and baseball, the nice folks at work in Amsterdam sealed a deal. After reaching personal terms with Miralem Sulejmani, Heerenveen was understandably a bit obstinate. They held out and [...]

It is strange, but even before I knew what ABN AMRO was (I am not a European), I immediately associated it with Ajax. Years ago, you could have convinced me that ABN AMRO was some kind of Ajax-related holding company. And, considering the length of the partnership, it almost was. But all [...]
