From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Jari De Busser 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 Go Ahead Eagles can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Kamogelo Malefo breaks a bone — 39 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 39 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Words exchanged at Go Ahead Eagles

Jerry St. Juste 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.

Squad

Connor Roberts 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.

Match

Go Ahead Eagles find a way past Telstar

Telstar made Go Ahead Eagles work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Naci Ünüvar

Marked 8.54 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad

Go Ahead Eagles lose Eus Waayers

30 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Oscar Pettersson

“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.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Jeroen Gravenberch kept it short after the 2‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Boardroom

Go Ahead Eagles part company with Georginio De Vrij

The statement thanked him for his efforts and wished him well, in that order and in about that many words. The search begins immediately.

Match

Go Ahead Eagles are in real trouble now

Position 16, 23 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Squad

A fracture rules Kamogelo Malefo out for 70 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Go Ahead Eagles will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match

8 matches without a win for Go Ahead Eagles

The run now stands at 8, and the questions being asked around Go Ahead Eagles are no longer polite ones.

Market

Calvin Twigt 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 Go Ahead Eagles, and it is not being withdrawn.

Boardroom

Jeroen Gravenberch steps up at Go Ahead Eagles for now

“Somebody picks the team on Saturday. This week it is me, and that is as far as I have thought.” No promises were made in either direction, which is how these usually begin.

Market

Jerry St. Juste raises the bar for Go Ahead Eagles

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Go Ahead Eagles heard it as anything else.

Squad

Connor Roberts 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 Go Ahead Eagles this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A row about effort at Go Ahead Eagles

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