They'll lose a number of players over the next couple years, but they now have the resources to hold out for top dollar; de Jong fetched £65m, de Ligt will be exceedingly expensive, and they have plenty of other desirable talent to boot. Combine that with what was already an enviable financial situation (and one of the best scouting/development systems in football) and Ajax might not be done punching above their weight just yet.
Dusan showing that to get the best out of players you need to surround them with players of similar ability. The folly of our selling our top talent left him adrift in the mediocrity and stifled his ability and desire. We have a lot of rebuilding to do. Don't know we will ever get back to 4 years ago.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47442886 England women beat Japan 3-0 to win the SheBelieves Cup....where they also beat Brazil and drew with the USA (World number 1 team). This is promising with the World Cup starting on June 7th. England are ranked 4th, but have definitely improved recently and will have a good chance of doing well.
I’m always amused by a swipe at Liverpool. https://talksport.com/football/505530/fulham-liverpool-roy-hodgson-boss/
Brilliant. I thought "Demonstrating the cool-headed pragmatism that has endeared them to the footballing public" was particularly well observed.
So are we all supporting Ajax in the CL for the remainder of the season? Fingers crossed, we´d all love an Ajax v Tottenham CL final!!!!!
Oh Ides. Most of us want Spuds smashed in the quarter final. If not that, the semi-final. We don’t want their fans enjoying a final, thanks
Other than Ajax, who is there to support, but Spurs, surely? I honestly do not care about the three other EPL representatives in the CL, and hopefully we can look forward to PSG eliminating glory hunting Manchester United, and great German craftmanship overcoming Liverpool.
I'm all in on Ajax winning it. Would love to see Tadic lift the cup. And the Dutch people are awesome, enjoyed my time there. That would be a great kick in the nuts to the money clubs!
