Marked for Wesley Lang

Squad

20 days out for Wesley Lang after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. FC Eindhoven will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market

FC Eindhoven say no — this time

The offer from VVV-Venlo for Rangelo Janga 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.

Player ratings

Vintage Rangelo Janga — 7.83

At 35 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.83, and nobody on the pitch better.

Market

Johan Quiceno 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 The request is on a desk at FC Eindhoven, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

Hyman Ali: 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.” FC Eindhoven have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Boardroom

Deadline passes with 1 signed and 6 gone

That is the business done at FC Eindhoven until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Squad

Rangelo Janga signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Rangelo Janga commits to FC Eindhoven for another 2 years.

Squad

Kevin van Veen 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 FC Eindhoven this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

FC Eindhoven find a way past Cambuur

Cambuur made FC Eindhoven work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

28 days out for Wesley Lang after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. FC Eindhoven will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market

Milan Hoek has said yes to Sabail

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. FC Eindhoven have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Hyman Ali 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 The request is on a desk at FC Eindhoven, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Eyes on Rangelo Janga again

The phone has started ringing about Rangelo Janga again, and this time the name on the line is VVV-Venlo. FC Eindhoven are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

Tempers go at FC Eindhoven

Kevin van Veen was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The dugout

Hugo Deenen frozen out at FC Eindhoven

This is not rotation. Hugo Deenen has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at FC Eindhoven is pretending otherwise.

Squad

Sven Simons falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Transfer targets

FC Eindhoven rebuffed over Victor Bak

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. FC Midtjylland have kept their man, and FC Eindhoven go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match

A bad afternoon for FC Eindhoven against Emmen

1‑2 to Emmen, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

From our football correspondent Steady

Market

Rangelo Janga asks to leave FC Eindhoven

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Wesley Lang breaks a bone — 35 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 35 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Terms done: Mart Remans is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Cambuur waiting with a shirt. Nobody at FC Eindhoven is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

The dugout

Johan Quiceno says FC Eindhoven went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Words exchanged at FC Eindhoven

Kevin van Veen and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

A row about effort at FC Eindhoven

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Farouq Limouri was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match

FC Eindhoven come up short against Jong Utrecht

Jong Utrecht left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

Clint Essers frozen out at FC Eindhoven

This is not rotation. Clint Essers has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at FC Eindhoven is pretending otherwise.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Deniz Dilmen

“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.
