Market12 Jul 2027

Excelsior come back empty-handed

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

Nick Twisk 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 The request is on a desk at Roda, and it is not being withdrawn.

Roda get their man

The chase for Ibrahim Cissoko ended with $2.3M changing hands and Zwolle out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Roda make their move for Maxence Rivera

$1.4M on the table at Heerenveen. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad12 Jul 2027

Words exchanged at Roda

Dario Van Den Buijs 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.

A move Danilo van Roekel would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Danilo van Roekel is living that version at Roda, and it tends to show in the first month.

The town asked, and Roda paid $2.3M

Ibrahim Cissoko was the name on every phone-in, and the club has gone and signed him for $2.3M. For one week the board can do no wrong, which is a week most boards never get.

Roda rebuffed over Jasper Cillessen

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. NEC have kept their man, and Roda go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad12 Jul 2027

Words at Roda training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jorrit Smeets 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.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Justin Dost damages knee ligaments — 14 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 14 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Boardroom7 Jun 2027

ADO Den Haag put Wout Clasie on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Market7 Jun 2027

ADO Den Haag turn down Kayserispor for Jesse Bal

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Evan Rottier 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 ADO Den Haag, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad7 Jun 2027

The step up is real for Kilian Nikiéma

At 23 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.

Boardroom7 Jun 2027

ADO Den Haag to lose Danilo van Roekel for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Danilo van Roekel has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Jan Žambůrek 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 ADO Den Haag this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom7 Jun 2027

ADO Den Haag agree a free transfer for Dylano van Niftrik

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Door shut on Dória

ADO Den Haag asked and Juventus said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
