Eredivisie 2006/2007

Standard wouldn't offer Leonard a new deal though....what was that all about ?

Tiendalli seems a good prospect.

...I hope this means you won't be raiding our squad.
If we can keep this group together we could have a pretty amazing year (we even have depth in our squad as it stands now )

He wanted more money or so, we will leave your squad alone for a while.

But Buijs still wants to come to us, and if we cant find a striker abroad. We will claim Nevland...

Groningen will do very well this year, Jans is a great coach. And he has a good music taste as well.

He vs van Gaal was pure comedy...

Cvetkov piss off!
If he goes away Volders is gonna be our 2nd choice keeper and we are trying to sign Danny Mathijssen from AZ. Any more info about Danny?

How are Ajax going to bounce back for European disappointment?..i can see them struggle, not sure how Vermaelen will cope...

The biggest test for Henk Ten Cate starts (honeymoon period is over)

If Ajax do not win the Eredivisie this season, i can see KJH leaving (i don't think he gets on with Sneijder..)

Mathijsen verhuist per direct naar Hamburg

24/8/2006 16:28

Hamburger SV heeft er geen gras over laten groeien in de zoektocht naar een opvolger van Khalid Boulahrouz, wiens erfenis nu in handen komt te liggen van collega-international Joris Mathijsen.
Woensdag meldde HSV zich officieel bij AZ om een dag later al tot een akkoord met zowel de Alkmaarse club als Mathijsen te komen. Naar verluidt ontvangt AZ tien miljoen euro voor de verdediger die in 2004 transfervrij overkwam van Willem II. Bij Hamburger SV tekent de international een contract voor vier jaar.

'AZ heeft een moeilijke afweging moeten maken tussen de sportieve ambities van de club en de persoonlijke ambities van Joris', luidt de verklaring van de Alkmaarse club. ''Na overleg tussen de technische staf, bestuur en directie is besloten Joris zijn transfer te gunnen.'

AZ had graag het lopende contract van Mathijsen opengebroken. Maar de verdediger brak in april de onderhandelingen af, omdat hij met een nieuwe contract zijn kansen op een buitenlands avontuur zag slinken.

AZ zal het vertrek van Mathijsen mogelijk opvangen vanuit de eigen gelederen. Met jeugdinternational Gijs Luirink heeft trainer Louis van Gaal afgelopen zomer een centrumverdediger naar Alkmaar gehaald. Bovendien staat Barry Opdam tot de beschikking.

@ Fey

Just heard, thought he was heading for the Premiership..

Nope he already is in Hamburg

Good move (1 Dutchman leave another arrives -- Status Quo maintained..)

heheh aye. But 10M is just too much, Scheringa ripped those poor Germans.

BTW LATEST NEWS: Feyenoord made an offer on......PATRICK KLUIVERT...whats wrong with this world.

..who do you want to fill the void left by Kuijt?

Well not Kluivert thats for sure. I rather have a more balanced midfield at this moment. But Pizarro from Bayern looks good to me. He already showed some intrest, but Bayern wants 10m for him.

- will Feyenoord pay that much?
- be a good signing IMO.

How much can they still spend???? I mean it was not that much...

I wouldn't be surprised if Farfán gives Pizarro a positive advise to join Feyenoord!

Dont think so Rai, we are poorer then poor. Thats the whole issue for decades now. We just dont have any penny.

what!

-- so Feyenoord will more or less stick with the squad they have (when is Castelen returning..?)
-- surely there are some transfer activities going on.

No, dont know if you read the NRC last week. It says that in 2004-2005 we were nearly bankrupt. So we have to pay our debts with that money we earned with Kuyt. Feyenoord`s financial situation is always a bit clouded, the club never is really open about how the situation of the club. Unlike Ajax, but they have to because of the stokeholders.

@ Fey

OK, but their must be some changes..

Yes offcourse but it will probably wont happen. This will be another "overgangsjaar" i think its the nr. 10 in a row.

Its always problems with money thats way we are unable to be a real candidate for the league. Its harsh but then again"you arent a Feyenoord-fan for fun"

I should not be concerned with the going ons in Feyenoord (should be pleased) but with recent events in Amsterdam (i am concerned with the activities of the close rivals..)

I think this year will be quite exciting anyway. Psv look weakend, Az just lost prolly their best defender. Ajax looks to have the best papers, but then again so did they last year... Groningen, NEC and Vitesse are all capeble for a surprise as well.

True..very true.

True, to be honest i cant see Ajax winning (defence is the main priority and confidence, yes there is talent but need maturity)

However if Henk Ten Cate gets the best XI week in and week out -- HOPE

------------------------------------

I can see Feyenoord improving, have seen nothing from AZ that i will suggest they have no chance -- and PSV are PSV, they will be the ones to stop.

And as you say Groningen, NEC and Vitesse will all be in the mix..

Sparta for europe? now that would be a surprise...

@ SpartaR

Sparta is de club van Rotterdam! (sang by Ajax fans)

Nahh its the club of Amsterdam. We all know they are traitors, cant believe they sold our city. Wish all Sparta fans were like Jules Deelder

"Holland's money is earned in Rotterdam, divided in The Hague and flushed down the toilet in Amsterdam."

Jules Deelder, what a legend.
He doesn't really like Amsterdam though.

Sparta for intertoto!!

Well Rai there is really some truth in it....
