Comments on: Plenty of Pink Slips http://ajax.theoffside.com/team-news/plenty-of-pink-slips.html News from Ajax Amsterdam Dutch football team Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:11:31 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Jon http://ajax.theoffside.com/team-news/plenty-of-pink-slips.html#comment-240 Jon Tue, 05 Aug 2008 15:57:28 +0000 http://ajax.theoffside.com/team-news/plenty-of-pink-slips.html#comment-240 I read a comment on another Ajax board recently that I totally agree with and responds directly to the conversation you bring up with this blog post. So, instead of writing something myself, I'm simply going to cut and paste. All credit for my direct plagiarism goes to Kowalczyk on the www.ajaxtalk.nl board... "The team Van Basten has in mind is starting to take shape. He seems to have this formation in mind: --------------- Stekelenburg ------------------ Silva --- Oleguer ------- Vermaelen --- Vertonghen/Urby Gabri ----------- Aissati -------------- Lindgren/Urby Suárez --------- Huntelaar --------------- Sulejmani Also (and I think this is a good sign) he seems to prefer Van der Wiel over Colin. Anita over Ogararu. Sarpong over Perez. Martina over Kennedy or Rommedahl. Mitchell over Luque. In other words: he wants a quality first team and intends to fill gaps with youth players, rather than with mediocre purchases (if possible). That's a very good thing, if you ask me."

“The team Van Basten has in mind is starting to take shape. He seems to have this formation in mind:

————— Stekelenburg ——————

Silva — Oleguer ——- Vermaelen — Vertonghen/Urby

Gabri ———– Aissati ————– Lindgren/Urby

Suárez ——— Huntelaar ————— Sulejmani

Also (and I think this is a good sign) he seems to prefer Van der Wiel over Colin. Anita over Ogararu. Sarpong over Perez. Martina over Kennedy or Rommedahl. Mitchell over Luque.
