Market

San Diego Football Club come back empty-handed

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

Market

DC United join the queue for Bryan Ramírez

Add another name to the list: DC United have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Bryan Ramírez. The answer from FC Cincinnati has not changed — yet.

Squad

Evander 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 FC Cincinnati this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Pavel Bucha runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Bryan Ramírez wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at FC Cincinnati hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad

Bryan Ramírez signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Bryan Ramírez commits to FC Cincinnati for another 4 years.

Squad

Words at FC Cincinnati training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ayoub Jabbari 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.

Match

New York City take the points off FC Cincinnati

Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

No hiding place for Evander

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

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Pavel Bucha

Successful dribbles: 32. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Pavel Bucha raises the bar for FC Cincinnati

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

Squad

Evander signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Evander commits to FC Cincinnati for another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at FC Cincinnati

Kévin Denkey 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.

Market

Veracruz watching Samuel Gidi

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

Words at FC Cincinnati training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Evander 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.

Market

The clock runs on Evander's contract

49 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Bryan Ramírez

7.45, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. FC Cincinnati had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Market

Experience through the door at FC Cincinnati

Tyler Deric 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.
