Market

Chichi Capo says no to Aalborg

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Chichi Capo had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Transfer targets

Lukáš Červ will not be coming to FC Midtjylland

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Viktoria Plzen is saying, and nobody at FC Midtjylland is enjoying the guessing.

Squad

Words at FC Midtjylland training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Majeed Waris is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Stefano Vecchia wants one last season at home

Every long career reaches the week the last one is thought about. He would like it to be where he started, and FC Midtjylland know now that the thought has arrived.

Transfer targets

FC Midtjylland rebuffed over Nikolay Komlichenko

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

Squad

A club back home comes in for Stefano Vecchia

The enquiry everybody at FC Midtjylland was hoping would not arrive has arrived. He has never pretended he did not want to go back, and now there is somewhere to go back to.

Squad

A falling-out at FC Midtjylland

Pedro Bravo and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Loan watch

7 goals on loan for Edward Chilufya

22 appearances at Beitar Jerusalem and the goals keep coming. FC Midtjylland are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

Market

The Rasmus Kristensen story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Rasmus Kristensen signs something — a contract at FC Midtjylland or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

In brief

Back issues

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

FC Midtjylland are in real trouble now

Position 10, 18 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Boardroom

The scrutiny sharpens at FC Midtjylland

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at FC Midtjylland is running low.

The dugout

Nordin Bakker keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” FC Midtjylland may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Boardroom

Deadline passes with 1 signed and 1 gone

That is the business done at FC Midtjylland 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.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Wesley Pomba rejects the move

FC Midtjylland had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Veres, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad

A falling-out at FC Midtjylland

Stefano Vecchia and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets

FC Midtjylland rebuffed over Che Adams

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

Transfer targets

The window shuts on the Carljohan Eriksson deal

FC Midtjylland ran out of time with FC Nordsjaelland. The paperwork was open when the deadline passed, and a transfer that was almost done is now a transfer that never happened.

Loan watch

Ovie Ejeheri has seen enough of Mansfield Town

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at FC Midtjylland, and 4 appearances in 21 say he has earned the hearing.

In brief

28 Sep 2026
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

No end in sight to FC Midtjylland's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at FC Midtjylland has to find a result from somewhere.

Match

Whatever happens, FC Midtjylland do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad

Words exchanged at FC Midtjylland

Hong Hyun-Seok 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 Midtjylland

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

The dugout

Jo Inge Berget gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

Two points walk out of the ground

Level with 88 minutes on the clock, after an afternoon FC Midtjylland had all but put away. SonderjyskE will call it a point earned; the home dressing room will call it two given away, and both of them are right.

Match

Mikel Gogorza rescues a point for FC Midtjylland

It needed Mikel Gogorza to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against SonderjyskE, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

The dugout

The form table has caught Jo Inge Berget

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Lukas Schmeichel was not hiding it after 1‑1, and nobody in the FC Midtjylland dressing room was either.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

The knee: Pape Fall out for 21 days

21 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. FC Midtjylland lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market

Chichi Capo asks to leave FC Midtjylland

“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.

Transfer targets

Deadline beats FC Midtjylland to Hannes Wolf

The clock did what New York City would not, and ended it. Supporters who watched the countdown will spend the next window doing it again.

Player ratings

A defender's goal wins it for FC Midtjylland — 7.43

1 for Magnus Mattsson, marked 7.43, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Squad

Philip Billing stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Philip Billing and FC Midtjylland agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market

Martin Erlić wants more than FC Midtjylland are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad

Words at FC Midtjylland training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Majeed Waris is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Words exchanged at FC Midtjylland

Pedro Bravo 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.

Match

FC Midtjylland share the spoils with Aalborg

A 1‑1 draw with Aalborg leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.
