The MVV Maastricht Post

24 Aug 2026
From our football correspondent Crisis

Market24 Aug 2026

Stan Van Dessel asks to leave MVV Maastricht

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Up for the corner, and Nabil el Basri delivers — 7.44

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Nabil el Basri scored, was marked 7.44, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at MVV Maastricht

Thomas Kok 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.

Match22 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for MVV Maastricht against FC Eindhoven

1‑3 to FC Eindhoven, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A row about effort at MVV Maastricht

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Ilano Silva Timas was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Door shut on Jayden Candelaria

MVV Maastricht asked and NAC Breda said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

Sven Braken gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market24 Aug 2026

Talks stall between MVV Maastricht and Dirk Baron

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at MVV Maastricht

9 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The Groningen Courier

3 Aug 2026
From our football correspondent Steady

Squad3 Aug 2026

Marvin Peersman stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Marvin Peersman and Groningen agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Groningen

Marvin Peersman and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words at Groningen training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jorg Schreuders is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Door shut on Gustaf Nilsson

Groningen asked and Club Brugge said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market3 Aug 2026

36 months and counting on Etienne Vaessen

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

Squad3 Aug 2026

9 new faces, and Groningen are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.
