I think we need a cup win or a European qualifier to stay being able to keep our players though.

Deisler26 Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 RKC Waalwijk 2024/25 Season Review Eredivisie: Finished in 5th place (predicted 10th) - Eliminated in Euro Playoff Semi Final We flew out of the traps early in the season, and were still contending for the title up to December. But the loss of a number of our best players sent us into a bit of a spiral and we dropped like a stone to 5th place in the Eredivisie. Sadly, the run of bad form continued with the 1-4 aggregate loss in the playoff. Final Table - Season Results Aug - Dec | Jan - May KNVB Beker: Lost in Final (predicted Third Round) So near and yet so far. We got our cup revenge on FC Emmen, dumping them out in the First Round, 4-0. Next was a demolition of Tweede Divisie side SVV Scheveningen, seeing us run out 8-0 winners. The Third Round saw us knock out NAC Breda, 4-2 and a Sam van Weert double took us past FC Volendam in the Quarter-Finals, 2-0. Our Semi Final matchup put us against AFC Ajax Amsterdam. Ajax made it easy for us by having a man sent off in the first minute! However, it took a fabulous Ruud van Dijk free-kick to see us past Ajax, 1-0. Sadly our fairytale came to an end in the Final as we left ourselves with too much to do in a matchup with Feyenoord Rotterdam as we lost two quick goals and eventually two men, finally losing 2-3 and down to 9 men.

Deisler26 Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) RKC Waalwijk Academy Watch: Class of 2020 In this section, we'll look at my historical youth intakes. At the end of every season, I'll go back and look at an intake from my time here at RKC and see if the key prospects worked out? Or if they flamed out, never to be seen again. Our second ever intake. It's the Class of 2020. Our second good intake in a row. Nice. We'll concentrate on the 3* prospects and up, unless there are any significant deviations. We had Gijs van Duijnhoven, Hujoybert Schorea, Joep van Lieshout, Alfredo Frankel, Virgil Sion, Niels Smit, Wesley van Dongen, William Nsala and Dean van der Stujis as our 3* and up. Gijs van Duijnhoven Then: 16 years old, RKC Waalwijk Now: 21 years old, RKC Waalwijk Gijs is the perfect example of what I want from this club. He's come up through the ranks, been the third choice left back, second choice left back and now made the berth his own. In 6 seasons at RKC, he's made 65 appearances, assisting 8 times, for an average rating of 6.94. Hujoybert Schorea Then: 16 years old, RKC Waalwijk Now: 21 years old, Tottenham Hotspur Hujoybert came into the side when we changed formation in the second season. He made his debut in the Keuken Kampoen Divisie in 2019/20 and went on to make 46 appearances for RKC, scoring 13 goals and assisting 8 times. In the summer of 2022, he moved to Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur for £10m, where he was yet to make an appearance for them in 3 seasons. Hujoybert has made 10 appearances for the Netherlands U-21 side, scoring four goals. Joep van Lieshout Then: 15 years old, RKC Waalwijk Now: 21 years old, RKC Waalwijk Joep has been a solid Reserves player in his time at RKC. He has made 21 appearances for the club over the 6 seasons he has been here, assisting once for an average rating of 6.94. He also spent the last season on loan at Rijinsburge Boys, where he made 18 appearances and assisted twice for a 7.03 average rating Alfredo Frankel Then: 16 years old, RKC Waalwijk Now: 21 years old, RKC Waalwijk Alfredo was another eventual graduate to the first team. In the 6 seasons he has been here, he has played 24 times for the club after making his debut in the 2022/23 season, he has assisted twice for an average rating of 6.92. Virgil Sion Then: 16 year old, RKC Waalwijk Now: 21 year old, Nimes Olympique Virgil made his debut for the club very early on, making his debut in the 2019/20 season and proceeding to make 126 appearances for the club over 5.5 seasons, scoring 26 goals and assisting 18 times for an average rating of 7.01. However, in January 2024, he made a move to Domino's League 2 side Nimes Olympique, where he made 17 appearances for them, scoring 4 goals and assisting once for an average rating of 6.93, as his Nimes side gained promotion to the Ligue 1 Conforama Virgil made a number of appearances for the Netherlands U-19 side, but has since failed to gain any more international caps. Niels Smit Then: 16 years old, RKC Waalwijk Now: 21 years old, RKC Waalwijk Niels was a decent prospect when he arrived and in the 6 seasons he has been with the club, he has made 27 appearances for the first team since his debut in 2023/24, getting an average rating of 7.05. He also spent the second half of last season on loan at fellow Eredivisie club NAC Breda making 10 appearances for them and assisting once, for an average rating of 6.83. Wesley van Dongen Then: 16 years old, RKC Waalwijk Now: 21 years old, AZ Alkmaar Wesley made his debut up front for us in the 2020/21 season, making 38 appearances over his time at the club. He scored 14 goals and assisted 4 times for an average rating of 7.03. He spent the 2023/24 season on loan at VVV-Venlo, making 34 appearances with 13 goals and one assist for an average rating of 6.84. However, last season, he was sold for £1.5m to AZ Alkmaar, where he made 19 appearances, mainly from the substitutes bench. He scored 3 goals and assisted 3 times for an average rating of 6.84 William Nsiala Then: 16 years old, RKC Waalwijk Now: 21 years old, RKC Waalwijk William has only made 15 appearances for the first team in his 6 seasons at the club, getting a 6.70 average rating in that time. During his time here, he spent time on loan at Rijnsburge Boys in the 2023/24 season, appearing 17 times and scoring one goal for a 7.65 rating. He also went on loan to Keuken Kampoen Divisie side Heracles Almelo last season, appearing 16 times and scoring two goals for an average rating of 6.50 as they gained promotion to the Eredivisie Dean van den Sluijs Then: 16 years old, RKC Waalwijk Now: 21 years old, RKC Waalwijk Dean has struggled to make an impact on the RKC first team, having yet to make a first team appearance for the club. He spent the 2022/23 season on loan to Kozakken Boys, where he failed to make an appearance and, for the last two seasons, he's been on loan at feeder club Rijnsburge Boys, making only two appearances, both keeping clean sheets, for an average rating of 7.20 No real diamonds in the rough from this intake, but Rik van Nieuwstadt has made two first team appearances Edited February 11, 2019 by Deisler26 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deisler26 Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 RKC Waalwijk January 2026 Transfer Window Transfers: *Sigh* It's the same as last season. Get to the top of the division, the vultures come calling. And, sure I could help my cause by not giving out minimum fee clauses, but then we'd have agents demanding high wages and who knows where that will lead!!! MC Ruud van Dijk (sold for £15m + 50% sell on clause to Hertha Berlin SC) The beating heart of my side, we'll severely miss this playmaker in the team. Once again, the release clause was offered. DR Leo Munsters (sold for £10m to Olympique Marseille) This one was something of a nightmare as Marseille came straight in with a cash offer that met his release clause. No chance to negotiate a sell on GK Etienne Vaessen (sold for £250k to Valencia C.F) A long-time club servant, he had been surpassed by Goedgeburre as our #1 and would spend the rest of his career on the bench and in cup games, so when Valencia offered to buy him, I had to give him the chance to move.

Deisler26 Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 RKC Waalwijk 2026 Youth Intake FULL INTAKE OVERVIEW Intake #8. We're still at Exceptional Youth Coaching and Extensive Youth Recruitment. As usual, I'll be concentrating on the 3* and above prospects, however I'll highlight the top three prospects in my eyes of each intake and also concentrate on the U-19's vs Youth Candidates match. -------------------------------------------------- Top 3 Prospects DL Colin Ajiach Colin looks to be a good prospect for the DL role, as we're currently just at two players fit for the role and one is wanted by other clubs. ST Robin Ten Hag Robin is good, because he's built for our type of football as a striker, plus he'll need the full 3 years in the U-19's, meaning the current status quo up front wont be disturbed. DC Fernando Pereira Fernando is good for me, because he is a tall, pacy DC. Everything else can be worked on, but that start helps our youth defence immensely ------------------------------------------------------------- Other 3*+ Prospects MC Jelle Maas ST Bernard Cudjoe AML Stefan van Gerwen ----------------------------------------------------- How far will YOUR youth go: 2026? Just how local are my intakes? We have State of the Art Youth facilities, but are we getting the cream of local youth? YP3 Fernando Pereira was born in Loures, Portugal, 2,156 km away. This Portugeezer has gone from the bottom to the top of Europe. Is it an improvement in teams though? YP5 Bernard Cudjoe was born in Bergen op Zoom, Netherlands. 77km away. No NAC, no VAT, no money back, no gua... sorry. From the waterfront to playing up front, this dual-nationality striker should see his place in the U-19's sealed YP1 Colin Ajiach was born in Amersfoort, Netherlands, 86km away. Utrecht was his biggest close city and he shot past them to us. Being as he's one of our better defensive prospects, I'm very happy he did It looks like we've stabilised our intake pool. Just Pereira was from more than 90km away --------------------------------------------------------------- RKC U-19's vs RKC Youth Candidates: 2026 A good cure for insomnia, this match. No real threat from either side and all four SOT were easily dealt with. RKC Youth Candidates Player of the Game Fernando Pereira (6.9) The defender played well enough, with one tackle won. But his passing was excellent and calm, not missing a single layoff to a fellow player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deisler26 Posted February 15, 2019 Author Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) RKC Waalwijk 2026/27 Pre-Season Depth Chart So, each season, I will post up a depth chart of the players in my main formation. It will consist of First Team, Backup & Youth... if I have them. We're chugging away quite nicely right now for players, but we do need to start retraining players for positions, otherwise we'll see an issue when injuries or player sales bite Goalkeeper Peter Goedgebuure Adnan Mulic Wil van Boekel Right Back Centre Back Centre Back Left Back Jordy Mulder MItchell Bosma Tim Pattinama Gijs van Duijnhoven Joep van Lieshout Jesse Stenzler Danny van Agt Erik Franssen Rob Eind Ingo van Weert Colin Ajiach Defensive Midfield MItchell Bosma Niels Smit Right Midfield Centre Midfield Centre Midfield Left MIdfield Rein van Helmond Mark Wijks Scott Langerak Bjorn Wolf Mart Ramos Mart Ramos Alfredo Frankel Maurice van Duren Niels Smit Frans Smit Striker Andre de Wit Tommie Hereijgers Sam van Weert A defensive winger on the right would be most helpful as we have to play a midfielder out of position there if van Helmond isn't available. Other than that, we are pretty stocked for what we need. To address the DM/DC issue above. Mitchell Bosma/Tim Pattinama is my main centre-back pairing, but when we play this formation, we have Jesse Stenzler slot into Bosma's DC role.

Deisler26 Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 RKC Waalwijk Academy Watch: Class of 2021 In this section, we'll look at my historical youth intakes. At the end of every season, I'll go back and look at an intake from my time here at RKC and see if the key prospects worked out? Or if they flamed out, never to be seen again. Intake #3. It's the Class of 2021. Another 'Golden Generation' !. We'll concentrate on the 3* prospects and up, unless there are any significant deviations. We had Arno Hulshoff, Marcel Ouwerkerk, Sven Bartels, Bjorn Wolf, Ad Viejou and Mart Ramos as our 3* and up. Arno Hulshoff Then: 15 years old, RKC Waalwijk Now: 21 years old, Sporting Clube de Lisbon Arno made his debut in 2020/21 and in the four and a half seasons he was at the club, he made 63 appearances, scoring 6 goals and assisting 9 times for an average rating of 6.85. In the January 2025 transfer window, Arno was sold to Sporting Clube de Lisbon for £4.2m plus add-ons. He has yet to make an appearance for Sporting, but spent the latter half of the 2024/25 season on loan at G.D Chaves, playing six games and scoring 1 goal for a 7.05 rating. He also spent last season on loan at FC Utrecht making 11 appearances, scoring two goals and assisting 4 times for an average rating of 7.06. Arno also made appearances for the Netherlands U-20 team, but hasn't made the jump to the U-21 side. Marcel Ouwerkerk Then: 16 years old, RKC Waalwijk Now: 21 years old, F.C Porto Marcel looked to be quite the prospect when he came into the academy. In four and half seasons, he made 56 appearances, scoring 14 goals and assisting 3 times for an average rating of 6.80. In the January 2025 transfer window, however, I decided to accept a £3.5m bid from F.C Porto as he wasn't working out and complaining about a lack of game time. Since then, he has not made an appearance for the Porto first team. However, he spent the rest of the 2024/25 season on loan at ChievoVerona, making 3 substitute appearances for a match rating of 6.55. He then spent last season on loan at Rio Ave F.C, making 45 appearances in all competitions, scoring 20 goals and assisting 6 times for a average rating of 7.07. Marcel also made 4 appearances for the Netherlands U-21 side, scoring one goal. Sven Bartels Then: 16 years old, RKC Waalwijk Now: 21 years old, Olympique Lyonnais Sven was a regular contributor to the first team after his promotion from the academy. In his four and a half years at the club, he made 83 appearances, assisting 6 times for an average rating of 6.88. In the January 2025 transfer window, however, AFC Ajax Amsterdam met his release clause of £8m. In his time at Ajax, he made 14 appearances, mainly from the substitutes bench, for an average rating of 6.87. In the summer of 2025 however, he was snapped up by Olympique Lyonnais for a cool £10m, netting us £5m in the sell-on. He made 18 appearances for them in all competitions, scoring one goal and assisting once for an average rating of 6.84. Sven has one winners medal in his career, picking it up as Lyon won the 2026 UEFA Europa League. Sven also has 17 appearances for the Netherlands U-21's, scoring one goal Bjorn Wolf Then: 16 years old, RKC Waalwijk Now: 21 years old, RKC Waalwijk Bjorn worked his way into the first team and has stayed there every since. During his time at the club, he's made 84 appearances, scoring 11 goals and assisting 12 times for an average rating of 6.87. Ad Viejou Then: 16 year old, RKC Waalwijk Now: 21 year old, RKC Waalwijk Ad is a backup player. In his 6 years at the club, he hasn't made a senior appearance, but has spent the last two seasons on loan to Rijnsburge Boys, making 26 appearances for them, scoring 6 goals for an average rating of 6.79 Mart Ramos Then: 16 years old, RKC Waalwijk Now: 21 years old, RKC Waalwijk In the 6 seasons Mart has been at the club, he's made 38 appearances, scoring 3 goals and assisting twice for an average rating of 6.84 No diamonds in the rough from this intake at all, the only player to make any first team appearances was released at the end of his youth contract, (Marc Demouge) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get to the top of the division, the vultures come calling. Again. DM/MC Mitchell Bosma (sold for £15m + 50% sell on clause to Hamburger SV) Typical. I get a good player in a position and he goes. Mitchell played brilliantly in the DM position and at DC, but once the offer came in... *sigh* DC/DM Tim Pattinama (sold for £15.5m + 50% sell on clause to Rassenballsport Leipzig) We lost both of our first choice DC's in this window. Tim was again the victim of sell on clauses Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deisler26 Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 RKC Waalwijk 2027 Youth Intake FULL INTAKE OVERVIEW Intake #9. Nearly a decade at the club and we'll look forward to see what the next decade has in store for us. We're still at Exceptional Youth Coaching and Extensive Youth Recruitment. As usual, I'll be concentrating on the 3* and above prospects, however I'll highlight the top three prospects in my eyes of each intake and also concentrate on the U-19's vs Youth Candidates match. -------------------------------------------------- Top 3 Prospects ST Muayed Abbas Muayed is another on our striking conveyor belt. Hopefully he'll rise to get some gametime. DC Lee-Quincey Profijt Lee-Quincey is a DC! A DC!! *trumpets play* DM/MC Floris Baastiansen Floris is an excellent pick up here, because he'll be Mark Wijks' long-term successor ------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- How far will YOUR youth go: 2027? Just how local are my intakes? We have State of the Art Youth facilities, but are we getting the cream of local youth? YP1 Muayed Abbas was born in L'billin, Israel, 4,448km away. A player from the motherland. He has a good chance of becoming one of Israel's leading players, and who better to nurture him? YP2 Lee-Quincey Profijt was born in Livorno, Suriname. 7,483km away. One from the colonies. It's a long haul back to Holland for this guy, YP4 Andrea Aramu was born in Bottidda, Italy, 1,711km away. Gotta have some Italian style at some point! Our intake pool went a bit awry in this one. All of our furthest players were from outside the country. --------------------------------------------------------------- RKC U-19's vs RKC Youth Candidates: 2027 We had a match against FC Volendam on the same day, so I was unable to watch it. RKC Youth Candidates Player of the Game Floris Baastiansen (7.2) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Ben_ Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Can't believe that I've never posted in this thread before - I tend to read the forum a lot, particularly on my phone, and don't reply. I just wanted to say that I love the depth you go in to, particularly with intake day and I will strike up some more discussion at your next intake! Keep it up!

Deisler26 Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 RKC Waalwijk 2026/27 Season Review Eredivisie: Finished in 3rd place (predicted 9th) - Qualified for UEFA Europa League A fabulous season which saw Andre De Wit break all goalscoring records (both team and league) with 25 goals as we had an excellent charge at the summit of the Eredivisie. From a winless November, to a 12 game unbeaten streak, to 4 draws and a loss out of 7 to finish the season in 3rd place, which is our best result ever. It seems churlish to complain about 3rd, but we seriously lost focus at the end of the season when one different result would have given us Champions League football Final Table - Season Results Aug - Dec | Jan - May KNVB Beker: Lost in Second Round (predicted Quarter-Final) Poor, poor, poor. Arrogance from me cost us this season. We breezed through a First Round matchup with minnows Quick Boys '20 with Andre de Wit getting a hat-trick. We then came up against Keuken Kampioen Divisie opponents SC Telstar. We stumbled through the match with a lot of youth on the pitch and despite leading the game 3-2, we conceded a goal on the line on 92 mins and the same player then scored the winning penalty to dump us out of the competition 5-3 on penalties.. Cup Results Awards Review Stats Commercial Summary Encouraging signs as we were in the mix right up until the last day for the title. Our first European adventure since 2001 beckons as well! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deisler26 Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 RKC Waalwijk 2027/28 Pre-Season Depth Chart So, each season, I will post up a depth chart of the players in my main formation. It will consist of First Team, Backup & Youth... if I have them. We're chugging away quite nicely right now for players, but we do need to start retraining players for positions, otherwise we'll see an issue when injuries or player sales bite (Lineups accurate on 00:01, 01 July 2027) Goalkeeper Peter Goedgebuure Adnan Mulic Wil van Boekel Right Back Centre Back Centre Back Left Back Jordy Mulder Jesse Stenzler Danny van Agt Gijs van Duijnhoven Joep van Lieshout Lee-Quincey Profijt Bryan Dirkx Erik Franssen Rob Eind Ingo van Weert Colin Ajiach Defensive Midfield Rogier de Jager Niels Smit Right Midfield Centre Midfield Centre Midfield Left MIdfield Rein van Helmond Mark Wijks Scott Langerak Bjorn Wolf Mart Ramos Mart Ramos Frans Smit Maurice van Duren Niels Smit Frans Jansen Stefan van Gerwen Striker Andre de Wit Sam van Weert Kevin Prent 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
