Transfer targets

Amīn-Elias Gröller due for a Go Ahead Eagles medical

Everything agreed with Feyenoord, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Market

Joep Willems hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Go Ahead Eagles can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Only the photograph left for Giovanni D'Agostino

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Giovanni D'Agostino will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Go Ahead Eagles the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Transfer targets

Go Ahead Eagles bid $510.0K for Emmanuel Aby

The offer went to Groningen 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Go Ahead Eagles

Jaden de Guzmán 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.

Transfer targets

Go Ahead Eagles rebuffed over Otto Rosengren

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

Squad

Words at Go Ahead Eagles training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dean James 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.

Match

Alexander Gurendal the difference as Go Ahead Eagles beat Groningen

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

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Bautista Pérez del Castillo

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match

The cup run ends for Go Ahead Eagles

0‑1 against PSV, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Market

Frederick Reuter has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Go Ahead Eagles they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Market

Tijn Eelsing hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Go Ahead Eagles can pretend not to have heard.

Match

5 matches without a win for Go Ahead Eagles

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Go Ahead Eagles are no longer polite ones.

Squad

A falling-out at Go Ahead Eagles

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

Squad

A row about effort at Go Ahead Eagles

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

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Frederick Reuter

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match

A bad afternoon for Go Ahead Eagles against Roda

0‑1 to Roda, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

Interim Coach faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Interim Coach after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.
