Squad19 Aug 2030

A fracture rules Taichi Hara out for 19 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason St. Pauli will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market19 Aug 2030

Mateja Bubanj has said yes to SC Freiburg

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. St. Pauli have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Squad19 Aug 2030

A falling-out at St. Pauli

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

Squad19 Aug 2030

A row about effort at St. Pauli

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

Squad19 Aug 2030

David Nemeth stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” David Nemeth and St. Pauli agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market19 Aug 2030

The Tom Bischof story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Tom Bischof signs something — a contract at St. Pauli or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

The dugout19 Aug 2030

Florian Müller gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Florian Müller is on it.

The dugout19 Aug 2030

Taichi Hara has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Taichi Hara has written the date down.

The dugout19 Aug 2030

Danila Prokhin asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad5 Aug 2030

Taichi Hara breaks a bone — 34 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 34 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad5 Aug 2030

Eric Smith: 9 seasons and counting

380 appearances across 9 seasons in one shirt. Careers like that are not built on purpose any more, and St. Pauli know exactly what they have.

Market5 Aug 2030

St. Pauli say no — this time

The offer from SC Freiburg for Mateja Bubanj 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.

Squad5 Aug 2030

Tempers go at St. Pauli

Tom Bischof was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad5 Aug 2030

Joel Chima Fujita falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Boardroom5 Aug 2030

St. Pauli beat the market to Tommaso Arrigoni from Köln

Köln will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Tommaso Arrigoni has pre-agreed a move to St. Pauli, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Market5 Aug 2030

Experience through the door at St. Pauli

Rico Strieder arrives at 38 with nothing left to prove and plenty left to pass on. Legs are a young man's currency; knowing where to stand never ages.

Market5 Aug 2030

The Rodrigo Ribeiro talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. St. Pauli know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout5 Aug 2030

David Nemeth has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at St. Pauli will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad8 Jul 2030

The knee: Mathias Pereira Lage out for 34 days

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

Squad8 Jul 2030

68 days out for Taichi Hara after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. St. Pauli will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market8 Jul 2030

Yeison Moreno agrees terms with SC Freiburg

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around St. Pauli people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Squad8 Jul 2030

Tempers go at St. Pauli

Tom Bischof was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad8 Jul 2030

Words at St. Pauli training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Eric Smith 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.

Boardroom8 Jul 2030

St. Pauli sign 6 boys into the academy

None of them will be seen by anybody outside the training ground for three years, most of them will never play a senior match, and one of them might change the club. That is the whole proposition, and it is why academies exist.

The dugout8 Jul 2030

Tim Siersleben asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout8 Jul 2030

No hiding place for Danila Prokhin

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Danila Prokhin, and the manager let it.

Market8 Jul 2030

The Rodrigo Ribeiro talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. St. Pauli know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The knee: Mathias Pereira Lage out for 74 days

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

Squad3 Jun 2030

A fracture rules Taichi Hara out for 107 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason St. Pauli will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market3 Jun 2030

RB Leipzig come back empty-handed

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

The dugout3 Jun 2030

Erik Ahlstrand: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” St. Pauli have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market3 Jun 2030

William Bianda asks to leave St. Pauli

“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.

Market3 Jun 2030

Mathias Pereira Lage wants more than St. Pauli 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.

Squad3 Jun 2030

Tom Bischof in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at St. Pauli this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad3 Jun 2030

A row about effort at St. Pauli

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

The dugout3 Jun 2030

Taichi Hara 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.

A place in the month's best eleven for Rodrigo Ribeiro

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Rodrigo Ribeiro has come out of that comparison in the side, and St. Pauli have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

The dugout6 May 2030

No hiding place for Mateja Bubanj

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Mateja Bubanj, and the manager let it.

Market6 May 2030

Rodrigo Ribeiro linked with a move away

The name of Rodrigo Ribeiro keeps appearing in other people's back pages. St. Pauli say nothing, which says plenty.
