Market

Elias el Asri puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at VVV-Venlo, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

VVV-Venlo say no — this time

The offer from Willem II for Mohammed Odriss was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Hobie Verhulst 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.

Transfer targets

VVV-Venlo rebuffed over Geronimo Venloo

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Utrecht have kept their man, and VVV-Venlo go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

Home is on José Arias's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; VVV-Venlo are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad

Words exchanged at VVV-Venlo

José Arias and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market

VVV-Venlo and Luca Unbehaun are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Emil Krafth is in the works

VVV-Venlo have made the call to Newcastle United. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

A loan move for Ndoh Wamfor is in the works

VVV-Venlo have made the call to Westerlo. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Robin Schouten

Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Hobie Verhulst in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at VVV-Venlo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at VVV-Venlo training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Julius Kade 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.

Match

VVV-Venlo come up short against Jong Ajax

Jong Ajax left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

A promise honoured for Sean Steur

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. VVV-Venlo told Sean Steur something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

The dugout

Donny Berghuis faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Donny Berghuis after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout

Luca Unbehaun dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Trevor Doornbusch

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
