With all the transfers, signings, etc. of this off-season, I am really confused about what the Ajax starting line-up will look like. Does anyone know or want to guess?
.................sonck...........zlatan vd vaart....litmanen...galasek....pienaar maxwell.....escude....pasanen....trabelsi.. only put maxwell in there cuz of job's injury. wamberto, yakubu, de jong, grygera being the main subs.
How long is JOB out? I know he had injury trouble at the end of the season last year, but then I thought he was better?
JOB, and Grygera might also break into the starting lineup if Trabelsi tranfers to United. i also heard Grygera was the "Replacement" for Chivu. And i guess Mitea wont figure until later on in the development process
i doubt we'll see a set lineup but here's an idea .................lobont ....pasanen/bergD...escude trabelsi .....................(JOB) maxwell ......galasek/de jong/maxwell pienaar......................VDV/sneijder .............litmanen/VDV ......zlatan.............sonck -or- ..............lobont ....pasanen/bergie...escude trabelsi .....................(JOB) maxwell ......galasek/de jong/maxwell .......pienaar..........litmanen zlatan.............................VDV .................sonck
Here's my XI, at least until Lobont and Zlatan regain fitness: 4-4-2 Stekelenburg;Trabelsi,Grygera,Escude,Maxwell; Pienaar,Galasek,Litmanen,Sneijder;Sonck,van der Vaart. 4-3-3 Stekelenburg;Trabelsi,Grygera, Escude,Maxwell; Galasek,Litmanen, van der Vaart;Pienaar, Sonck,Pipo O'Brien is long term out with the Achilles.Zlatan hopefully short term with the groin.As for right wing,rumour is Ajax have interest in Tom Soetars of Roda in lieu of Uche's situation.It would make for some interesting competition on the right side.
I believe Escude(or SQD as some shirt backs spell it ..thanks to the dutch and letters sounding out "Escude") is Chivu's replacement while Grygera is Trabelsi's.But hopefully not right now in the latter case.
