[721] Of Jaap Stam in, Maxwell out
Oh my. What's going on at Ajax (tag)?I think Jaap Stam is alright despite he was an P$V guy but letting Maxwell go is a sad story. I love how Maxwell plays. His style is elegant and effective. He's the only Brazilian Ajacied that I know of.
But Maxwell said earlier that he wouldn't renew his contract with Ajax and his contract would have ran out in summer. So, unless Ajax really wanted to let Maxwell go for free, Ajax had no choice but to sell him to anybody wiling enough to get Maxwell's service. That anybody is - surprise, surprise, not - Inter Milan. Ajax reported received a million euro from Inter Milan for Maxwell. Ajax will play Inter in the next round of the Champions League.
Other than Maxwell, another Ajax veteran might leave. Talk for a contract renewal between Galasek and Ajax has not been smooth. De Jong will leave soon while Pienaar is heading for Dortmund.
Still, to Jaap Stam, welcome to the red and white. Maybe, you're the new Chivu that we need. Lightbulb city club still suck though. That club across the Channel too.
sorry ... I am a PSV 'new support' :-) !!

Well ... they won't like what they see. I am too damn OLD to be considered babies.
By the way, how come you are so familiar with Dutch football teams? I thought UK teams would be the familiar ones for Malaysians??

well, it started when I was 13 or so. When I saw Ajax against AC Milan and van der Sar at Ajax's goal post in 1995 on TV. And at the time, (even now) ppl were crazy with Man utd, liverpool, blackburn, you know, english teams and some italian.
I like to go against the wave. So, I chose a club that few Malaysians would have heard of. Hence, Ajax and I follow the Eredivisie ever since.
