Transfer targets

An offer of $36.3M for Diogo Costa

Feyenoord have gone to Porto with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Market

Feyenoord pay Mouscron $19.8M for a proper upgrade

Mouscron did not want to sell and the number is why they did. $19.8M for Laurent Januzaj, and the expectation that arrives with him is the kind no amount of settling-in period softens.

Market

Feyenoord turn down Groningen for Tsuyoshi Watanabe

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

Player ratings

Raheem Sterling was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 31. 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.

Market

Feyenoord sell Givairo Read for $9.4M

Givairo Read has left for Utrecht in a $9.4M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad

Laurent Januzaj gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Laurent Januzaj has just signed for Feyenoord, and for once the answer mattered.

Market

Feyenoord get their man

The chase for Gonzalo Crettaz ended with $3.3M changing hands and NEC out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Transfer targets

Too dear: Feyenoord walk away from Victor Jensen

$3.6M was the most the club would pay and Utrecht were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Transfer targets

Feyenoord make their move for Sam Kersten

$1.6M 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.

Player ratings

Radja Witsel runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 33. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Mouscron say no — this time

The offer from OGC Nice for Romelu Kompany was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

FC Lorient watching Youri Januzaj

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Mouscron have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Market

Youri Januzaj wants more than Mouscron 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.

Squad

A falling-out at Mouscron

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

Match

Mouscron find a way past Zulte Waregem

Zulte Waregem made Mouscron work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Yannick Batshuayi

“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.

Squad

Words at Mouscron training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Louis Renaud 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

Mouscron hit back inside 1 minutes

Zulte Waregem held the lead for 1 minutes, which is not long enough to enjoy it. Mouscron answered before the celebration had properly finished, and the shape of the afternoon changed with it.
