Squad

Tempers go at Utrecht

Vasilis Barkas was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Siebe Horemans signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Siebe Horemans commits to Utrecht for another 4 years.

Loan watch

Kevin Gadellaa counts the days

“I watch every Utrecht game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Livorno runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Player ratings

Gjivai Zechiël shuts the door

Defensive actions: 16, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Dani de Wit

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Utrecht pick somebody else ahead of Joris van Overeem

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Squad

Souffian El Karouani signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Souffian El Karouani and Utrecht agree another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Utrecht

Dani de Wit was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Vasilis Barkas falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market

Eyes on Kevin Gadellaa again

The phone has started ringing about Kevin Gadellaa again, and this time the name on the line is ADO Den Haag. Utrecht are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

Vasilis Barkas asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

49 months and counting on Siebe Horemans

Still no offer on the table, and Siebe Horemans’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.
