An offer of $3.9M for Wassim Bouziane
Heerenveen have gone to Feyenoord with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Santiago Grootfaam keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Heerenveen may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Elgün Dünyamalıyev asks to leave Heerenveen
“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.

The run at home goes on for Heerenveen
12 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Only the photograph left for Santiago Grootfaam

Graduation day at Heerenveen
9 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.
