Player ratings

Noah Tamsamani could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.97

Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.97, 1 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Match

Vitesse strike at the death to beat ADO Den Haag

There were 85 minutes on the clock and ADO Den Haag had all but banked the point. Football rarely reads the room, and Vitesse did not stop to explain themselves.

Squad

Jur Schipper stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Transfer targets

David Min is a medical away from Vitesse

The deal with Utrecht is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad

Words exchanged at Vitesse

Alexander Büttner 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.

The terraces

One of their own: Noa El Hamdaoui

He is 18 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match

Vitesse see off ADO Den Haag

Three points for Vitesse, 1‑0 the final word against ADO Den Haag in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

Timothy Fosu-Mensah 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.

Squad

14 new faces, and Vitesse 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.

Squad

A move Anselmo García Mac Nulty would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Anselmo García Mac Nulty is living that version at Vitesse, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

6 saves: Jur Schipper was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Transfer targets

Noa Dundas due for a Vitesse medical

Everything agreed with Utrecht, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Transfer targets

No deal for Sven Bouland at that price

Vitesse offered $510.0K; Groningen said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Squad

A falling-out at Vitesse

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

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Jur Schipper

At 20 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad

Bart Schenkeveld 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

Vitesse and Anselmo García Mac Nulty 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.

The dugout

Bas Dumfries on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Bas Dumfries after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

From our football correspondent Steady

Market

Omar Achouitar hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Vitesse can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Alexander Büttner signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Alexander Büttner and Vitesse agree another 2 years.

Squad

Alexander Büttner 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 Vitesse this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Bart Schenkeveld 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

Still no ink between Vitesse and Alexander Büttner

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Vitesse, another week without a signature from Alexander Büttner.

Squad

No place for Bart Schenkeveld in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Vitesse are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Transfer targets

Vitesse try to borrow Jur Schipper

AZ have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Transfer targets

Vitesse try to borrow Jofre Torrents

Ajax have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Transfer targets

Vitesse try to borrow Radja Vanaken

KV Oostende have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.
