Transfer targets14 Sep 2026
Almere City rebuffed over Birger Meling
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. FC Copenhagen have kept their man, and Almere City go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
The terraces14 Sep 2026
One of their own: Junior Kadile
He is 23 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.

Joey Jacobs 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.
Player ratings14 Sep 2026
A masterclass from Junior Kadile
Marked 8.12 — 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.
Squad14 Sep 2026
A falling-out at Almere City
Jordy Bawuah and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Squad14 Sep 2026
Tiago Codinha signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Tiago Codinha commits to Almere City for another 5 years.
Match12 Sep 2026
Almere City and RKC Waalwijk take a point apiece
It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.
Market14 Sep 2026
Talks stall between Almere City and Joey Jacobs
“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.
The dugout14 Sep 2026
Virgil Berghuis: “We have to be better”
“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 1‑1 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.
In brief
- The dugout Tiziano Vianello gets it from the manager
- Player ratings Jordy Bawuah runs at them all day
- Squad Junior Kadile wants to know why he earns less
