The Cambuur Post
Market16 Aug 2027
Groningen come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Cambuur did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Jochem Nap: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Cambuur have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Tjorben Uphoff has one foot out of the door
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Cambuur they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Thijs Jansen signs a new deal

Mexx Meerdink 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 Cambuur this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Nothing got past Daan Visser
Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 23 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Arnaut Timber comes home
The shirt still fits. Arnaut Timber is back at Cambuur, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Patrick Strootman is a Cambuur player again
He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Nobody could get near Wiebe Kooistra
Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
