twente down 0-2 to benfica who are all over them. looks like we'll collect some extra cash in the CL

Never thought they would defense set plays like Ajax. Woeful performance from their defense today.

[SE6Ajacied]

Very early days obviously but I just checked the Jupiler League table and it's refreshing to see FC Eindhoven (who the KNVB wanted to kick out of the league altogether a couple of years back) in first place with Fortuna Sittard (who almost went bust a couple of years back) and Almere City (who finished bottom last year) also in the top four.

No real preference on who comes up rhis year but would be good too see one of these three do well.

ruiz about to make the move to fulham for 15 million

fer looks to be staying with the roaches this season

would greatly weaken twente if ruiz left

[ajaxcolombia]

Hopefully groningen and light bulbs don't reach an agreement for Matavz

Yup. Also sad for the Dutch Eredivisie. We need good players, whether they play at Ajax or the competition.

Fulham is below his standards, average at most in the PL. Still seems to be difficult to get to a (real) big club when you're at Twente. Doesn't help that Elia and Arnautovic both failed in other competitions.

it's not going to happen

From Sky Sports: Fulham have agreed a £10.6million deal to sign FC Twente winger Bryan Ruiz.

I'm curious to see how he turns out in England. I never rated him that highly, though he had flashes of brilliance. I see him as another Afonso Alves, did very well in Holland, but won't produce after he leaves. Only time will tell, but as others have said, just another way Twente is weakened.

Less than 24 hours to go, seems we will be hanging on to our key players, though wish surplus like El Hamdaoui (etc.) would leave already.

VI is unfortunately now talking about a Matavz to Bulb City for 5 years deal.


Alleen keuring scheidt Matavz nog van PSV-transfer

De spits speelt komende vrijdag met Slovenië tegen Estland. Matavz heeft zelf al een persoonlijk akkoord met PSV.

Yap, Matavz for 5 years to PSV. Official, confirmed on their website. Definitely not happy about this!!

[Blind3]

Looks like a case of musical players...Ruiz to Fulham , Fer to Twente from F-word , Guidetti to F-word , Matavz to Bulb City , Teixeira to FCG , Bulykin to Ajax, MeH to ....to ...to ?

It's what happens when the city of Eindhoven bails out the club in need of more money. If they don't qualify for CL football next year they could be in for a heap of trouble.

[Blind3]

Cue the cheesy chase music . Per Sky , Newcastle have tabled 12 million euro bid for Bryan Ruiz. FC Twente have accepted. Helicopter on standby should player opt to leave Bright Lights Big City to go to Geordieville instead.

[afcajax73]

apparently hes turned down newcastle already.

[DrDuncan]

Great start to the 2nd half by VVV Venlo - 3 goals in 8 minutes against PSV - keep it up lads!!!

[Van basten]

PSV dropped 2 points! Great weekend

When RBC Roosendaal went out of business as a professional club, they informed the KNVB that they wanted a new start on an amateur level. That's possible, according to the KNVB rules. Apparently (I didn't know it works that way) the KNVB decide on which level the club will be placed, based on an investigation of the club's finances and squad. RBC reckoned they could enter the pyramid at level four (the Hoofdklasse), but the KNVB allocated them to the Fifth Class today (that's level nine). Which is unacceptable to RBC; they will now appeal against the decision.

Castillion has another goal today for Walwijk!

[Orange14]

Our friends down the road in Rotterdam got shellacked by Groningen 6-0 today. How much longer can Ronald Koeman last? Why does anyone take him on as manager?

[ajaxcolombia]

Its a shame they took away two point in the ArenA and now they get absolutely humiliated at the Euroborg.

[Orange14]

AZ look to be leading a charmed life this season. 0-0 and Maher snatches a goal for them even though four Heracles players were around him inside the box. Heracles have a couple of chances in injury time but cannot convert.

[Van basten]

Shit, AZ scores on 89min. and wins. Not good!

[Van basten]

Twente lost 2 points today, so we are just 3 points from bronze medal position.
