Soufiane Bouftini puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Dordrecht, and it is not being withdrawn.
Match1 May 2027

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Soufiane Bouftini, and the manager let it.

Joel Timber steps up from the Dordrecht academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Joel Timber has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
