Match14 Aug 2027

A hiding for Groningen

Beaten 0‑3 by NEC, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

The dugout16 Aug 2027

Marvin Peersman keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Groningen may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad16 Aug 2027

8 saves: Kjell Peersman was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 8 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Market16 Aug 2027

Nikolas Brandis 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 The request is on a desk at Groningen, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market16 Aug 2027

IF Elfsborg come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Groningen did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets16 Aug 2027

Kyle Wootton is a medical away from Groningen

The deal with Rosenborg 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.

Squad16 Aug 2027

Tempers go at Groningen

Thijmen Blokzijl 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.

Squad16 Aug 2027

The step up is real for Kyano Doesburg

At 21 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Boardroom16 Aug 2027

Graduation day at Groningen

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Transfer targets26 Jul 2027

Groningen make their move for Romeo Vermant

$15.7M on the table at Club Brugge. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Market26 Jul 2027

Argyris Darelas 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 The request is on a desk at Groningen, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market26 Jul 2027

Only the photograph left for Thom van Bergen

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Thom van Bergen will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Groningen the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Transfer targets26 Jul 2027

The paperwork begins on Ezekiel Kwame Alladoh

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Groningen have done the hard part with Philadelphia Union, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Thijmen Blokzijl 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 Groningen this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Melle Meerdink arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Melle Meerdink has, at Groningen, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Words at Groningen training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kjell Peersman 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 targets26 Jul 2027

Door shut on Anosike Ementa

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

Squad26 Jul 2027

Kyano Doesburg signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Kyano Doesburg and Groningen agree another 4 years.
