Karst de Leeuw has said yes to Persib
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Willem II have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Fee done, terms next for Sam Ringeling
Willem II and Feyenoord have settled on $860.0K. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Willem II baulk at the price for Jorthy Mokio
Ajax wanted more than $1.3M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Willem II go back to the board over Sam Ringeling
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $900.0K — a club that wants Sam Ringeling enough to be asked twice.

Willem II promote Nathan Hateboer from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Nathan Hateboer has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
