Market

Gonzalo Errecalde 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 NEC can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Thomas Ouwejan says NEC went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Bryan Linssen gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market

Koki Ogawa linked with a move away

The name of Koki Ogawa keeps appearing in other people's back pages. NEC say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad

Bram Nuytinck knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at NEC, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

Marvin Knoll leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Marvin Knoll leaves NEC the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

Market

NEC turn down AZ for Koki Ogawa

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

Market

Said Aliev is a NEC player

The fee is $1.9M, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Rotor drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Market

Freek Entius attracts admirers

The name of Freek Entius has come up in conversations NEC were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Market

A long bet from NEC on Sun Huizer

He is 18, and nobody at NEC signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Squad

Sami Ouaissa knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at NEC, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

Olaf Kok gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
