Market

Paulo Díaz has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Atlanta United FC can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Transfer targets

Atlanta United FC make their move for Gabe Segal

$490.0K on the table at DC United. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad

Words exchanged at Atlanta United FC

Breel Embolo 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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Daniel Edelman

Atlanta United FC asked and St. Louis CITY SC said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

A row about effort at Atlanta United FC

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

Squad

Matt Edwards signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Matt Edwards and Atlanta United FC agree another 3 years.

Transfer targets

Atlanta United FC try to borrow Daniel Edelman

St. Louis CITY SC have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

The dugout

Steven Alzate knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Atlanta United FC, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout

Junior Alonso has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Atlanta United FC 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.

Market

Mainz 05 come back empty-handed

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

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Steven Alzate

“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

Mauricio Amaro 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.

Squad

Adrian Gill signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Adrian Gill and Atlanta United FC agree another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Atlanta United FC

Will Reilly 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.

The dugout

When it matters, Tristan Muyumba plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout

Tristan Muyumba keeps the receipts

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Atlanta United FC

Will Reilly 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.

The dugout

Miguel Almirón has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Atlanta United FC 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.
