Damn 
not again!
It was to good to be true of course, all was going well but the injuries start again
I read that Grygera will stay with Ajax but that's not really strange considering the fact that he wanted to go to Juve and that's no longer an option so now he says that Ajax is his priority and only Ajax counts for him at the moment
we'll see this means that he walks out of the club in one season for FREE and we can't get any money for him anymore

Silencer said:Good luck anyway, I will be there with my seasonticket of course
My seat is on 427 in the stadium.
Silencer, just curious but how much was your season pass? How much did you save by buying it instead of going on a ticket by ticket basis?
Thanks
Still losing against Spakenburg WTF :boohoo: man I'm really pissed about that loss. How is this possible with a team like ours?? 
Hat's off to Spakenburg though and those 010 cockroa.. must be laughing their asses off but they won't laugh anymore when Kuyt goes to Liverpool in the coming days
EDIT: I've just read that there weren't any Internationals playing in the team and that we were playing with a B-team. A few players from Spakenburg were former pro players so it's not that strange.
More strange is the fact that de Mul and Schilder were the scorers and KJH was not even on the scoresheet
The guys from the 2nd team played tonight, this weekend against Arsenal we'll see our strongest team on the pitch with Rosenberg, Sneijder, Stekelenburg, Maduro, Babel back

You signed a young Chinese(or half Chinese) Canadian named Matt Lam. Can you provide updates on him since he's playing for your U19 team.
Local player impresses his way from fan to farm team
Ajax opens its doors to teen
Published: Thursday, July 13, 2006
EDMONTON - There's going overseas to play soccer, and then there's going overseas to play soccer for your family's favourite team.
Matt Lam can claim the latter as he prepares to fly to Amsterdam alongside one very proud grandmother and join Ajax. She will be moving back to her home country with her 16-year-old grandson to purchase a home and help him adjust to life in pursuit of a dream in a foreign country.
"It's great. I'm just really excited to get over there and start playing right away," said Lam, who leaves Edmonton July 27, and joins one of the powerhouse Dutch club's youth teams Aug. 1.
"They just said I could fit in with the Under-19s when I'm there, so they're just going to put me in right there."
Lam's grandparents on his mother's side are direct from Amsterdam, the heart of Ajax country. So he grew up clad in the team's red and white, followed any televised games he could and even got to drop in to watch a live match while on a vacation in Holland a few years ago.
Now to enter their developmental system? It's much more than he figured possible before he first caught the eyes of talent scouts overseas with a tryout for Middlesbrough, an English Premiership team, last year.
"After I went to England, I kind of used this status to bring myself closer to home and my agent helped me get a trial with Ajax," said Lam. "It was a dream come true because that's my family's club, we're big Ajax fans. So I just went over and tried out there."
Agent Edmund Chu used his contacts overseas to fly Lam out at the beginning of May and have him spend two months training and playing with the Ajax Under-17 team. Despite separating his shoulder twice during the try out and having to fly home for surgery and rehab of the recurring injury, he impressed team officials enough to get invited back.
"I felt pretty confident actually," said Lam. "The first day I was already put into a game situation and it just felt very comfortable. The pace of the game over there is so much higher, so that is a pretty big jump from here to there, but I thought I coped with it pretty well."
Upon his return to Holland, Lam will be slotted in with the Under-19 team, just two steps removed from the first team. It's unusual for Ajax to recruit foreign players, preferring to develop local products, but something caught their eye with Lam. Now he already has the full team kit of training gear and a dream of playing in the 52,000-capacity Amsterdam Arena, where he got to see the wild atmosphere of a game on a previous visit.
"Just being in the crowd with all the fanatic fans, it was just an amazing experience," said Lam, a five-foot-10 midfielder who starred for the Edmonton Juventus Under-16 team last year.
He turns 17 in September and will begin hashing out a formal contract with the team at that time.

Young RKC will be our opponent in the Gatorade Cup in august, not a bad draw 
For the first time in the history of the cup, the topteams have to play the games in the first rounds I think it's ridiculous cause we play qualificationgames for the Champions League as well around that date
Ah well should be an easy win :amika:
