From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Mickaël Nanizayamo asks to leave Grodig

“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.

Squad

Michael Lang stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Michael Lang and Grodig agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Mathieu Cornet

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

Daniël Deen asks to leave Grodig

“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.

Squad

Daniël Deen 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.

Squad

Grodig lose Bamba Diarrassouba

55 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Match

No end in sight to Grodig's wait for a win

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

Match

A bad afternoon for Grodig against Red Bull Salzburg

0-2 to Red Bull Salzburg, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Michael Lang

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Michael Lang 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

A bad afternoon for Grodig against SV Ried

0-1 to SV Ried, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market

Grodig and Domingos Quina are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Market

Simon Ernemann is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Grodig has been clear about where Simon Ernemann stands, which is more than many ever get.

Market

Experience through the door at Grodig

Carlos Carmona arrives at 39 with nothing left to prove and plenty left to pass on. Legs are a young man's currency; knowing where to stand never ages.

Squad

Somebody is after Michael Lang’s shirt

A new face in his position, and Michael Lang suddenly has to win back what he thought he owned. Grodig have promised nothing — clubs rarely do at this stage.
