Squad

The knee: Feike Muller out for 16 days

16 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Willem II lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market

Willem II sign Håkon Evjen for $27.0M

The paperwork is done: Håkon Evjen joins from Bodo/Glimt in a deal worth $27.0M. Now comes the harder part.

Transfer targets

$2.2M settles it between the clubs for Oualid Agougil

Utrecht have accepted the money. What Willem II do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Squad

7 saves: Wouter van der Steen was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 7 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Player ratings

Kasper Boogaard, 20, steals the show — 8.07

Marked 8.07 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Boardroom

Deadline passes with 13 signed and 12 gone

That is the business done at Willem II until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Market

Håkon Evjen wants more than Willem II are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Transfer targets

The window shuts on the Odysseus Velanas deal

Willem II ran out of time with Zwolle. The paperwork was open when the deadline passed, and a transfer that was almost done is now a transfer that never happened.

Squad

Håkon Evjen 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 Willem II this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

The knee: Feike Muller out for 23 days

23 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Willem II lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Player ratings

Vito van Crooij was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 32. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Chukwubuikem Ikwuemesi

Willem II asked and OH Leuven said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Transfer targets

Willem II bid $2.3M for Odysseus Velanas

The offer went to Zwolle this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Player ratings

Vintage Thomas Verheydt — 7.92

At 34 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.92, and nobody on the pitch better.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Jay Enem

At 23 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.

Match

Thomas Verheydt the difference as Willem II beat Roda

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Thomas Verheydt. 1‑0 against Roda, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

A falling-out at Willem II

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

Squad

Words at Willem II training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Alessandro Ciranni 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.

In brief

  • Squad Too much change too quickly at Willem II
  • The dugout Tonny Vilhena gets it from the manager
  • The dugout The view from the dugout
