Oranje Ajax Day
By: Matt | June 17th, 2008
It may be too bad that Ajacieds only contribute to an Oranje B-side, but they certainly played their part today. KJH supplied the goal, Steks kept the clean sheet. No complaints from this blog as MvB checked under the hood of his turbo-charged side by playing some less-than-regulars. I am glad that the result cannot be questioned and that MvB ignored some less-than-scrupulous advice to throw the match. Three matches, three victories. Let’s hope this wave carries us through the knockout rounds, too.
I am going to leave the match reporting to the Netherlands blog. Click the links at the top right to keep tabs through a well-executed site.
One bit of Ajax news to report:
> Left-back Donovan Slijngard has re-upped his contract for another year. He was set to be unemployed at the end of June but now looks set to stay until next summer at least. His debut at the end of the season with Emmanuelson unavailable was solid if unspectacular. I just hope MvB and Blind know that they have more work to do on that backline.

It will be interesting to see what formation MvB utilizes next year and if & where he decides to use Urby. If he uses the 4-2-3-1, possibly a holding midfielder, maybe as an attacking midfielder on the left side?
It will be unfortunate if MvB doesn’t find a few reasonably priced options in the transfer market for the backline. Until then Vertonghen & Slijngard will be our best options at left-back in my humble opinion.

Thanks for that, James. There may have been some confusion before.
