Scoring charts

Deniz Undav tops the scoring charts

Nobody in the division bettered it last month: 3 goals in 2 appearances for VfB Stuttgart.

Scoring charts

The month belonged to Jan Schöppner

Marked 8.51 across it, 3 goals and assists between them, and no serious argument from anybody else in the division. Heidenheim have had the whole benefit of a month somebody else will spend the summer trying to buy.

Scoring charts

The division's brightest kid this month plays for RB Leipzig U20

Yan Diomandé was marked 8.36 and had a hand in 4 goals. Every recruitment department in the country now has a file open, and the club that has him knows exactly what that means.

Market

Christopher Trimmel 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 The request is on a desk at Union Berlin, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Gijón come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Köln did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Scoring charts

Nobody made more than Stefan Ortega this month

4 assists, 6.00, and a Mainz 05 player who spent four weekends being the reason somebody else's name went in the paper. It is the least-rewarded skill in football and the easiest one to notice its absence.

Scoring charts

Maximilian Beier is the division's best-marked player — 9.36

The chart that catches everybody a goal tally never will: the centre-half who was immense for four weekends, the holding midfielder nobody outside his own ground has heard of. 9.36 across 2 matches for Borussia Dortmund.

Malik Tillman raises the bar for Bayer Leverkusen

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Bayer Leverkusen heard it as anything else.

TSG Hoffenheim may not be able to give Bernardo what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Bernardo wants continental football; whether TSG Hoffenheim can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Scoring charts

Jamal Musiala up among the month's scorers

A productive month at Bayern Munich — 2 goals from 4 appearances, and a place near the top of the charts.

Scoring charts

Jan Schöppner keeps the pressure on

3 goals in 4 appearances for Heidenheim leave him among the month's leading marksmen.

Scoring charts

Eliesse Ben Seghir makes the list

4 appearances, 3 goals, and a place among the division's leading scorers for the month. Strikers measure a season in exactly these lines.

Scoring charts

Joel Chima Fujita tops the scoring charts

Nobody in the division bettered it last month: 2 goals in 1 appearances for St. Pauli.

Market

Borussia Dortmund say no — this time

The offer from Bayer Leverkusen for Serhou Guirassy 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.

Scoring charts

Ismael Saibari leads the division for assists — 8.20

The chart that decides who the scorers ought to be thanking. 2 of them made by a Bayern Munich player marked 8.20, and not one will be in the montage at the end of the season.

Market

Nicolas Höfler hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what SC Freiburg can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Aston Villa watching Noah Atubolu

The interest is real enough to have reached print. SC Freiburg have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Market

Ricky-Jade Jones’s move to Heidenheim falls through

The deal that would have taken Ricky-Jade Jones to Heidenheim has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to St. Pauli with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Scoring charts

Leopold Querfeld makes the list

1 appearances, 1 goals, and a place among the division's leading scorers for the month. Strikers measure a season in exactly these lines.

Scoring charts

Nathan Ngoumou up among the month's scorers

A productive month at Borussia Mönchengladbach — 1 goals from 1 appearances, and a place near the top of the charts.

Scoring charts

Fábio Silva makes the list

1 appearances, 1 goals, and a place among the division's leading scorers for the month. Strikers measure a season in exactly these lines.

Scoring charts

Julian Brandt up among the month's scorers

A productive month at Borussia Dortmund — 1 goals from 1 appearances, and a place near the top of the charts.

Scoring charts

2 assists and counting for Marvin Schwäbe

Marked 6.13 across the month. Somewhere in this division there are strikers whose goal tally belongs partly to him, and none of them will say so.

Scoring charts

2 assists and counting for Alexander Nübel

Marked 7.06 across the month. Somewhere in this division there are strikers whose goal tally belongs partly to him, and none of them will say so.

Nobody at Borussia Dortmund has picked up the phone to Nico Schlotterbeck

11 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.
