Quizás muchos de ustedes ya lo han visto, pero para mi esta fue una forma bastante ingeniosa
de presentar un uniforme o jersey. Es del Ajax holandés, un grupo de gente ya trae el nuevo
jersey y para que el público lo obtenga tiene que intercambiar por la playera, blusa o camisa
que traiga puesta. El [.
Sir Alex sets his sights on a new striker and it just so happens that the fantastic finisher he
wants happens to love Manchester United, which will surely help seal the deal! Ajax striker
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has claimed Manchester United are 'very interested' in securing his services.
Contract talks between Ajax .
All that most football managers really want for Christmas is a promising young player to emerge as
an established star in the coming year. As the game becomes more and more global and the wealth of
the bigger clubs increases, so too do the scouting networks of these clubs which now extend to
every continent and [.
So, the transfer deadline (August 31) has passed and the football market is now closed. Closed? Not
quite. Indeed, while transfers from one club to another will have to wait until January to resume,
teams may still sign players as free agents (and that until March 31, 2009). So, inspired from this
Top 11 Serie A [.
The chase for this Dutch master has been heating up and now that his contract talks have stalled
the race for this striker just got a hell of a lot hotter! Ajax technical director Danny Blind
admitted to De Telegraaf that contract talks had failed in large part because Huntelaar wanted a
release clause written into [.
In 1973, Ajax cemented its position as one of the all-time great clubs in European history by
becoming the first club since Real Madrid in 1956-1960 to pull a three-peat of the European
Champions Cup. It also became the first team to win the (not quite as coveted) World Club Rankings
Team of the Year for three consecutive years.
Could Arsene Wenger be ready to break the bank to get Ajax striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. Some are
reporting that the Arsenal boss has the Gunners poised ahead of Chelsea and Manchester United. Was
Steve Finnan all this deal was missing...
The world is being set alight by ever younger players, and they will be the superstars of the
future. I have handpicked 18 players (11 starters and 7 subs) for the team of the future. GK: Igor
Akinfeev (Russia, CSKA Moscow, 22) At age 22, the Russian goalie is still young but is already
world-class, and his [.
Mornin all. It's been very very quiet on the Arsenal front lately. Tomorrow we start the Amsterdam
Tournament, which matches us up against Ajax and Sevilla. It should be the final preparation for
our Champions League match next Wednesday against FC Twente. We'll be seeing what will most likely
be our starting eleven out there Saturday or Sunday.
At some point, Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham have been linked with Ajax striker Klaas
Jan Huntelaar. Most would say that United remained the only potential destination, but even that
looks unlikely now that Ajax have ruled out selling the...
Yanks Soccer has passed along the news that Heerenveen might not be selling the in-demand Michael
Bradley after all.
He quotes a Heerenveen suit who says that unless the club can scrounge up replacements -- for
Bradley and other key players who have already departed -- the young Yank will be kicking in the
Eredivisie this season.
While silly-money transfers such as Robinho's move to Manchester City quite naturally grab all the
headlines, there are a myriad of deals involving Brazilians that hardly get a mention and many
involve a trip to Holland ...
It's a relatively light day today in transfer news and rumors, but there's still plenty to talk
about in today's roundup. England The Sun says that Tottenham are set to make a £32m move for
Valencia's David Villa, and at the same time, will let Dimitar Berbatov go to Manchester United for
£30m. Rumor [.
There's not a lot of major news to report today, since it's Sunday and all, but there are a few
signings to report, so hopefully you'll get your fill of weekend transfer tidbits. Ajax's Klaas-Jan
Huntelaar, who scores goals in his sleep, is a well-known target of Manchester United, and
Huntelaar says that United are [.
Lots of rumoured transfer cross-polleination in today's batch of rumours. Arsenal's Lassana Diarra
told Arsene Wenger that he wasn't in the right frame of mind to play against Spurs in the Carling
Cup, and now Man City look to be at the front of the queue for the unstable midfielder. (Guardian)
...Midfielder Gilberto Silva will deal with [.

It does appear to be the case that former Dutch International and Arsenal, Ajax, and Barcelona
winger Marc Overmars is back after 4 years of not playing professionally. He has been the manager
for Dutch second division side Go Ahead Eagles, and he will come out of retirement to play for
them. His goal is to lead the team by example and presumably get them back into the Eredivise.
Chelsea's Under-16 showcase, The Cobham Cup, kicked off today. And Marko Mitrovic stole the
show.
In his Chelsea debut, the highly-touted Swede signed by Chelsea last December found himself on
the scoresheet less than a minute into the Blues' tournament opener with River Plate. Mitrovic
drove home a penalty, which he had won by latching onto an errant loose ball just 10 seconds into
the game.
Deco will move from Barcelona to Chelsea. The Portuguese midfielder will be reunited with his
Portugal coach Scolari. Patrick Kluivert returns to Holland! He will move from Lille to AZ Alkmaar
and will be reunited with his old Ajax and Oranje coach Louis van Gaal. Kluivert is not at AZ as
According to Marca, the Spanish sports paper, Rafael van der Vaart will be fifth Dutch player to
move to the Spanish capital. Real Madrid wants a new midfielder and with C. Ronaldo not being able
to move to Madrid the Spanish champs have set their sights on the former Ajax
Lens Reserve and France U18 LB Thimothe Kolodziecjzak
Well, as the transfer window nears, Lyon look to bolster their defense as well as move out some
"surplus" stock. On the offensive side, everything seems to be finalized, and all that is
left is the anticipated departure of Milan Baros.
With the Clausura effectively over before the final weekend for Estudiantes and Boca Juniors as
well as newly-crowned champions River Plate, the summer transfer market has already begun. River
boss Diego Simeone wants to bring in a new goalkeeper, and has set his sights on Atlético de
Madrid's Leo Franco, whilst Boca and Estudiantes are [.
The January winter transfer is still a month away but it appears that reigning Spanish champions
and European giants Real Madrid have already made their first winter signing. And Premier League
clubs Liverpool and Arsenal are looking to add their squad and have been seeking reinforcements.

Marco van Basten is clearly one of the world's up and coming young coaches. He was the talk of the
town this summer in Swissaustria until he met up with an established Dutch legend in Guus Hiddink.
He's got the playing career which allows him to tell his players without even a hint of doubt,

Either the world's going a little bit mad, or Pedro Pompilio is beginning to lose touch with
reality a tad. The identities of two players Boca Juniors may currently be considering for the
transfer market have been revealed, and they make for surprising reading. Both were born in South
America, but that's about the least surprising [.
Morning all. I'm taking a break from watching the Olympics because they are showing rowing right
now. Is that even a sport? Rowing. Some of these sports are just awful...beach volleyball,
handball, synchronized diving/swimming, fencing...I love the Olympics but some things just should
not have medals given for them.
If you've looked at the tables across Europe, you might find yourself doing double takes to make
sure that is the name you saw up there above everyone else. And chances are you were correct the
first time. Big money is taking a backseat to good football, intelligent strategy and shrewd
business moves.
Rangers manager Walter Smith will throw his hat into the ring for the race to sign Everton's James
McFadden. The Ibrox club will have to contend with interest from Birmingham and Celtic, with
Birmingham's Alex McLeish ready to bid up to £5.5m to try and bag McFadden. (Sunday Herald) Fulham
gaffer Roy Hodgson is preparing a [.
1972 saw Total Football become entrenched in Europe as Ajax tried to become the first club to
repeat as continental champions since Inter Milan pulled the trick in 1964 & 1965 by facing that
team in the finals. Two second-half goals by Johan Cruyff were all that were necessary, actually
the first one was all that was necessary, as Ajax defeated Internazionale 2-0.
Arsenal have today joined Manchester United in the race to sign Ajax striker Klass Jan Huntelaar.
The Holland international has been linked with a move to the Premier League for years now and
Arsenal and Man United are both reportedly ready to meet Ajax's £18 million valuation of
Huntelaar.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is keen to add another striker to the Old Trafford ranks with Louis
Saha likely to depart in the next few weeks.
Dennis back at Ajax on his first day as a coach... Today, Dennis Bergka,mp started his
apprenticeship at Ajax, the club where the Menace started his career. Marco van Basten said:
"Dennis will be very important for Ajax' future. He has enormous qualities in guiding young
players. He already did so at
Today's word of the day is contradiction. In the world of speculation, you'll often see one report
say one thing, and another say something completely opposite. That's the case with a few of today's
rumors, which involve a few big names that may or may not be moving. England So, is Gareth Barry [.
Last week was nice. Got to see the Ajax boy hit a cheeky spoon over the keeper, putting another
notch in his highlight reel. But now Luis is hitting hyper drive, taking over, and marking himself
as one of the premier players on the continent outside the big leagues; not to mention someone who
will [.
How do you say "So much for that," in Dutch? After rampaging through Group C, Holland
looked completely ordinary and were dismissed in extra time by a deserving Russia, 3-1. The Dutch
were fortunate to reach extra time. After taking a 1-0 lead on a 56th minute goal by Roman
Pavluchenko, Russia had chances to seal the victory.
It seems that Arsene is about to say goodbye to wantaway striker Emmanuel Adebayor but is he about
to say hello to his replacement? Arsenal could be placed on red-alert by the news that Holland
striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar has failed to agree a new contract with Ajax. The Gunners may turn
their attentions to the highly-rated [.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger may be looking to reload his lineup with Ajax striker Klaas Jan
Huntelaar as a replacement to Emmanuel Adebayor, along with his fellow Dutchmen Robin van Persie.
The Daily Star says although Adebayor, 24, bagged 30 goals for the Gunners last season, Wenger is
excited about the prospect of pairing Huntelaar with [.
There's been quite some criticism on Ajax' youth development. Johan Cruyff and Finnster two name
just two (Finn, your name in one sentence with JC!!). I thought it would be good to shed some
light. Ajax' has always been an example in the world for youth development. Their scouting and
development

Well, it's the start of a new week, and this week carries a great deal of excitement, as we're only
a week away from the start of the Premier League season. Today's transfer roundup isn't as packed
as I would have expected, but there's plenty to run through, so you certainly won't go lacking.

Could Clarence Seedorf return to his beloved Ajax, the famous Dutch institution where his
trajectory originates? No, at the moment there appears no chance but as the player himself admits
he could well end his playing career at the club that engendered him more than 10 years ago. Sky
Sports has reported that the 31-year AC [.
