Bona Kalou (big bro of Salomon and ex-Feyenoord winger) returns to Holland. He’ll play for Heerenveen

Boulah has signed with VFB Stuttgart and will be Der Kannibal again.

Co Adriaanse impresses with Red Bull Salzburg. He leads the Austrian competition and gave the Armenian opponents a whipping with 7-0 for the UEFA cup.

Clarence Seedorf will hold on to the number 10 jersey, despite Ronaldinho joining AC Milan. The toothed-one will wear number 80.

Ajax scored by accident when a player is down. Ajax then allows the opponent to score against them :-) Great clip Finn. Ajax scored by accident when a player is down.

He made a good season, sure, but he's done that before just to suck the next season. Can see that happening again. Dont think he will do more than ten goals in 08/09.

I'd say Ruud is the new Sibon! Gerald Sibon is 34 years old and in the autumn of his career. He will never make Oranje anymore. He's one of those players for whom a new spot in the line up needs to be invented. Not a striker, not a midfielder... I expect to see Marcellis soon in the big Oranje, and that's that, really.

So the weather is not going to be a factor. Think having it in Australia would be great too apart from great weather in August - great time zone too (for us in Asia). Read somewhere Blatter has a plan B in case security in SA fails to provide. Mexico has been asked to stand by ? Ouch !!! Jan get the Aussies to have Plan B ready for Seppy please . @tiju

I surely hope V.Marwijk isn't going to take a majority of Feyenoord players with him, only Timmer(3rd choice?), Vlaar, De Guzman and maybe Hofland would have a chance with me. Maduro might surprise friend and foe next season at Valencia, would be nice to see him finally live up to his full potential.

Jan - good point, why isn't Bazarite in the Olympic squad? Is he under the radar over at Arsenal? Finnster - I actually enjoyed watching Middlesborough when McLaren was coach there. His time as England head coach was terrible, but I'd blame the players at least as much as the coach, if not more.
