Match

No end in sight to Cambuur's wait for a win

10 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Cambuur has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Ethan Apkakou stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Ethan Apkakou and Cambuur agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Thijs Jansen 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.

Market

As if he never left: Justin Xavi Simons returns

Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Justin Xavi Simons is a Cambuur player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Market

Patrick Blind comes home

The shirt still fits. Patrick Blind 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.

Market

Rick Lang 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.

Market

As if he never left: Joel Simons returns

Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Joel Simons is a Cambuur player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Match

Cambuur come up short against Heerenveen

Heerenveen left with the points after a 2‑4 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings

Ethan Apkakou in the eights

A performance of 9.00 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

In brief
