The €27M for Sneijder will compensate for it , the bastards wanted that.

Wonder when the Ajax fans will start signing

"Bassie of Adriaanse, Bassie of Adriaanse, ..."

How many where at at the match yesterday? Stadium looked very empty.

I don't get it either, one of the most important games of the year (especially considering what happened last year) and they couldn't be bovvered.

Well with the club dieing a slow and painful death , a coach who is so incompetent its not a joke , I'm surprised the stadium was not empty .. man i wish i was Freddy Kruger go into the dreams of the Ajax board and when im done they'll have to do a compost-mortem.

It's the same as the Feyenoord fans at last years play off matches : plastic fans and glory hunters, the lot of them !

Transfer rumours:

Kluivert to Vitesse

Koller, El Hamdaoui & Koevermans to Feyenoord (pretty sure about the 1st 2)

Defour will not go to Ajax

@ Eredivisie fans

What do YOU make off:

* Gregory van der Wiel
* Jeffrey Sarpong
* John Goossens

Van der Wiel can turn into something the other 2 are Cr@p.

Koller and Stam!!!! The battle of the giants....one more time then

@ Fey

You don't rate Sarpong or Goossens ? some Ajax fans feel Goossens ( Left winger. Tremendous talent. This bloke was single-handedly (footedly) responsible for the Oranje Under 17 squad to reach the 3rd place at the WC… Watch that name…) can step up into the first XI and Sarpong could be a long term replacement for Sneijder ..

Yes...but ajax fans say many things. They have horrible youth players these days with strange names like: Poepon, Anita, Donald etc....all Cr@p.

The 3 i mentioned are the ones i have FAITH IN , or the most faith

Donald as you say is $h!t

we're getting linked with Alfonso Alves...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?view=DETAILS&grid=&xml=/sport/2007/08/18/sfneve118.xml

Would be a huge coup, 13M euro is too few though. + I doubt if this is the dream club Alves has been thinking about.

Would be a bad move for Alfonso. He'd better wait one more year then before he can go to a top club in the world...!

yeah I doubt it'll be happening either...still, we live in hope

What is the general view of Boro fans about this possible deal?

well, its only really just come about last night...so not much response yet. From the ones who have responded on the boro forum its been positive, people saying its probably the only "spectacular signing" we'll make this season if it does happen...(in reference to Steve Gibson saying a couple of months ago he would be making a few spectacular signings before the window shuts)...i'd also guess they'll be a fair few of the average Boro fans who might not know who he is.

With Rinus Terlouw, Ronald Lenkeek and Nourdin Boukhari. Nice piece PR.

Roy Beerens explains why he didn't join Ajax - "Ik wilde in Nederland blijven en Heerenveen is een mooie club. Als je meteen naar een grote club gaat kun je ver terugvallen."

I don't blame him , a really talented lad .. hope he fulfills his potential.

Should have stayed at NEC. One of the few bright spots of last year.

Olaf Lindenbergh heeft een persoonlijk akkoord bereikt met NEC over een overgang naar Nijmegen, zo meldt AD Sportwereld.

Het enige obstakel in de transfer is de opstelling van zijn huidige werkgever Ajax. Lindenbergh heeft in Amsterdam nog een doorlopend contract voor één jaar en NEC kan niet voldoen aan het Ajax-salaris van de routinier. De oud-speler van AZ en De Graafschap is volgens het AD niet bereid water bij de wijn te doen.

De bij Ajax overbodig geraakte Lindenbergh is tevreden met het door NEC geboden bedrag, mits Ajax dit bedrag aanvult tot zijn huidige salaris. Daartoe is de winnaar van de beker en de Johan Cruijff Schaal slechts deels bereid. Door het akkoord met Lindenbergh kan NEC-trainer Mario Been mogelijk alsnog een ervaren middenvelder aan zijn selectie toevoegen.

NEC moet echter nog wel rond de tafel gaan zitten met Ajax. De Gelderse club hoopt dat de Amsterdammers nog een deel van het salaris van Lindenbergh voor hun rekening willen nemen. Het complete loon van de 33-jarige Ajacied kan door NEC niet worden opgehoest.

I forget he was around ..

Middlesbrough have offered Heerenveen nine million euros (£6.1m) for star striker Afonso Alves, according to a report in Holland.

The 26-year-old Brazilian was top scorer in the Dutch Eredivisie last season with 34 goals and says he could move to Boro.

"They are seriously interested in me," Alves told De Telegraaf. "Middlesbrough have shown this, too, with their offer."

He added: "For such a big club and for the Premier League, I am always open and the first talks are really hopeful. That will not be the problem."

Daily Express

Frysians are stubborn people. They will not let him go unless you pay what they ask (£13.3m).

Afonso is open for the prem

It would be some coup if Boro got him.

'Afonso Alves ziet Middlesbrough wel zitten'

20/8/2007 8 :24

Middlesbrough heeft een bod gedaan op Afonso Alves. De Engelse club is bereid negen miljoen euro te betalen om de Braziliaanse goalgetter los te weken bij SC Heerenveen. De Friezen hebben mogelijk al een Braziliaanse vervanger klaar staan.
'Ze zijn serieus geïnteresseerd in mij', vertelt Alves in De Telegraaf. 'Middlesbrough laat dit ook blijken met het miljoenenbod.' Een transfer ziet hij dan ook zitten. 'Voor zo'n grote club en voor de Premier League sta ik altijd open en de eerste besprekingen zijn zeker hoopvol. Daar zal het probleem niet liggen.'

Heerenveen staat eveneens volgens De Telegraaf op het punt Paulo Henrique vast te leggen. De ploeg van coach Gertjan Verbeek scoutte de achttienjarige aanvaller van Atlético Mineiro op een jeugdtoernooi in Terborg.

Paulo Henrique debuteerde dit jaar op het hoogste niveau in Brazilië. De belofte speelde dertien wedstrijden en scoorde drie keer voor Atlético Mineiro in het Campeonato Brasileiro.

I see, well..we probably will need to sell Yakubu if we want that sort of cash to spend...£6m does seem cheap for someone who scored as many as he did last season, all be it in the Dutch leagues(dont mean that offensively, but you know..).

It's a translation error : you quoted 9 M euros, according to Dutch press Middlesborough has made a 19 M euros offer.

(Heerenveen has already turned down a 15M bid earlier this summer by a Moscow team)

ahh, that seems about right then

borocooper wrote:ahh, that seems about right then

the article does indeed say 9M...but that just makes no sense at all.

Yesterday evening in one of the football programs someone had the news as well and said it was 19M (Hugo Borst ?).

We've also been linked to Kone and Farfan from PSV, (bad)article posted in the Yakubu thread on prem section...
