The Roda Post

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market19 Jul 2032

Only the photograph left for Wout Coomans

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Wout Coomans will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Roda the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market19 Jul 2032

Camilo Agualimpia asks to leave Roda

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad19 Jul 2032

Tempers go at Roda

Joep Willems 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.

Squad19 Jul 2032

Allan Arigoni 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 targets19 Jul 2032

NEC tell Roda: Agon Sadiku is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Transfer targets19 Jul 2032

A loan move for Billy van Duijl is in the works

Roda have made the call to Feyenoord. 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 Tim Braem is in the works

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

Transfer targets19 Jul 2032

Roda try to borrow Damy Bernardina

RKC Waalwijk 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.

Boardroom19 Jul 2032

Belts tighten at Roda

The accounts are being read more closely than the results. Wages before ambition is the order of business now, and the manager has been told so.

The Roda Post

1 Mar 2032
From our football correspondent Crisis

The dugout1 Mar 2032

Ilja Zubenko: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Roda have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match28 Feb 2032

No end in sight to Roda's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Roda has to find a result from somewhere.

Player ratings1 Mar 2032

Nobody could get near Chris Atherton

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad1 Mar 2032

Gift Lorch 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 Roda this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad1 Mar 2032

A row about effort at Roda

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

Match28 Feb 2032

Helmond Sport take the points off Roda

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad1 Mar 2032

Juan Manuel Jorge makes it 100

100 times in these colours, in all weathers and under four or five different managers. That kind of service is quietly disappearing from the game.

The dugout1 Mar 2032

No place for Žan Kovačevič on the big day

He found out with everybody else, an hour before kick-off, from a sheet of paper on a wall. Nobody at Roda pretended it was anything other than a decision about him.

Market1 Mar 2032

Still no ink between Roda and Allan Arigoni

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

In brief
