Shocker


News flash...Edgar David's second tour of duty with Ajax has come to an end. The 35 year old midfielder has left the team as expected in a mutual agreement with the club. Davids denies any link between him leaving and the arrival of Marco van Basten as head coach, but there seems to be a lack of any other substantial justification for the move. Why would this self proclaimed "Ajax Man" want to end his career anywhere else? Seems a bit sad to me, much like Clarence Seedorf's decision not to join the Oranje squad for the European Championships this year and the decades long feud between the members of Pink Floyd that still haunts me to this day. Why can't grown men just get along?
Oh, and in the "who cares" department, Ajax has decided not to extend the contract of seldom seen Ghanian defender Sammy Kufour.
