[Pizarro14]

Hey Zlatan whats the situation with Nigel? and hows Rosales Developing? and also Charisteas

 

[Zlatan]

Nigel has become a key-player in recent months and ManU already showed some interest.
Mauro is injured since March/April hasn't really impressed me but there's still time for him to prove himself and I think he's the best signing together with Escude that Koeman did.
Charisteas is in the same situation as Mauro at the moment although he did score something like 3 out of 3 in the last matches. We have to give those two another season before we give an opinion about them.

 

[Zlatan]

There are rumours that Davids is coming our way. That would be so damn great. He's exactly the person we need. Expierinced, old, full of energy and a great great leader.

What do you guys think

 

[Vagegast]

Apparently he wants to be re-united with Louis van Gaal, meaning that he'll go to AZ instead. Plus, van Eijden has denied that either de Boer or Davids will be coming back.

However, I do think that Davids would be an incredible positive contribution to the team. The man's a beast and he can talk some sense into some of the cocks who think they're bigger than everybody despite being only 21 or 22.

We're apparently interested and negotiating for Lindenbergh. Thoughts?

 

[Pizarro14]

Yea I love how Davids Plays on the field. He still loves the game and it would be great to have Davids as the leader of the Ajax side. I wouldn't be surprise if he becomes captain when he joins Ajax.


quick stupid question : why does Davids wear those sun glasses? could it be because he hates the sun or what? or is it something serious?

 

[Zlatan]

It's because of his eyes who are not working properly enough, he says.
Lindenbergh did well for AZ in the last few months but good enough for Ajax level? That remains to be seen

 

[QYC]

He had some eye operation so he needs them for protection.

 

[Pizarro14]

damn poor guy well either way he is still brillant on the field

 

[Lonestarr022]

I would not be surprised if former Ajax guys come back to finish their careers at Ajax, especially with Danny Blind coaching them now

 

[Zlatan]

Well you should remember Davids and Blind waren't the best friends(EC 1996) which could be an obstacle of him going to Ajax.

 

[Vagegast]

Yeah, well Davids was friends only with mainly the Surinamers anyway... Seedorf, Rijkaard, Kluivert, Reiziger, Bogarde, etc.

 

[Silencer]

Good idea to open a new thread, new round new chances
I think it will be more likely that Davids goes to AZ since Louis van Gaal is the new headcoach there. Lindenbergh is a good experienced player which Ajax lacks at the moment so I say welcome!
Rosenberg wants to come to Amsterdam he said, he is flattered with the attention from Arsenal but he wants to go to a club where he can grow and where he plays every week. Not in the last place is important that Zlatan Ibrahimovic became a worldstar thanx to Ajax.
Pienaar is not going anywhere yet, de Jong is staying and Trabelsi made clear that he wants to remain with Ajax for at least a year so the negotiations have started to make this so. van der Vaart is gone and I'm really surprised that he chose HSV Hamburg cause they play a style of football which is not really Raffies style but I wish him luck..

 

[Vagegast]

Olaf Lindenbergh has reached a personal agreement with Ajax. It's now up between AZ and Ajax for the transfersum. He'll be taking Maxwell's place for the time being if he does come. He might also play in this Saturday's WCQ match together with Ron Vlaar.

http://telegraaf-i.telegraaf.nl/daily/2005/5/31/TE/TE_2S_20050531_23/pagina.php

Also, according to the Swedish press, Ajax's first bid for Markus Rosenborg (4 million) was denied. Malmo are asking for 6 million.

 

[Zlatan]

well, with all the money we got with the transfers of Chivu, Zlatan, VDM and Raf it should be possible to reach an agreement with Rosenberg, shouldn't it?

 

[Vagegast]

Rosenberg is signing next week.

We have Babel. The Next Kluivert.

We have Manucharyan, an 18-year old prodigy. He scored for the Armenian national team despite losing 2-1. He'll join in July.

We have Yannis Anastasiou, just in case we're 0-0 in the 84th minute. The experienced striker.

I'm willing to bet $20 that Angelos Charisteas will leave at the end of this upcoming season.

 

[Zlatan]

Charisteas is only here for half a year. I've forseen this from the first day he arrived, Charisteas not beeing able to addapt this quickly and then the fans immediatly start saying: "he's crap".
please people think of Zlatan, was he that good in his first year?

 

[Zlatan]

Rosenberg transfer is almost done. Ajax must only reach a personal agreement with Rosenberg.

[Silencer]

It's a done deal believe me or else the news wouldn't be on the official website, Ajax and Rosenberg will definitely clinch a deal and this week he will be presented to the media. Let's hope he will adapt better than Charisteas

 

[Zlatan]

Rosenberg transfer finished!
o/ Hail to the new Zlatan \o
