I wouldnt say its necessarily weak given the prominence of psv and feyenoord again in recent seasons. Ajax losing a number of players as well as ten taag in the last couple of years won't have helped, but usually you would trust ajax to recruit or promote from within to cover those losses which haven't delivered.
