transfer

it was a very difficult decision for me to make...one of the hardest in fact. because i really love ajax alot. and i said before that i would only leave ajax if another club can make me throw down everything and quit ajax.

to be frank, there hasn't been another club like ajax. and i think there never will be. but maybe this is a good time to go, because things aren't quite the same. and the rest back at ajax thinks it is a good opportunity.

when i made the decision, i couldn't really sleep. i still think: "what have i done?". but things have indeed happened. and i think i have to see where i go from here.

but i will miss playing at ajax. the style, the team. everything.
