From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Alessio Curcio breaks a bone — 137 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 137 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Michele Grande

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

Squad

Tempers go at Altamura

Nicola Dipinto 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

Alberto Spina’s move to Pontedera falls through

The deal that would have taken Alberto Spina to Pontedera has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Altamura with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Squad

Words at Altamura training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. George Brown 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

Too much change too quickly at Altamura

5 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Player ratings

Ibrahima Mbaye was the difference for Altamura

Marked 7.18. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Match

No goals between Altamura and Casarano

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Casarano will be the happier side with the point.

Market

Altamura bring in Modou Faal on loan

A season-long audition: Wrexham still own him, but the shirt and the minutes are Altamura's to give. A loan is a bet both clubs believe they are winning.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market

Dan Scarr asks to leave Wrexham

“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.

Market

Kieffer Moore moves on

Watford pay $1.1M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad

Tempers go at Wrexham

Liberato Cacace 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.

Match

Davis Keillor-Dunn the difference as Wrexham beat Stoke City

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Davis Keillor-Dunn. 1‑0 against Stoke City, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings

One of those days for Davis Keillor-Dunn

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.26, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad

Elliot Lee 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

Words at Wrexham training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Adam Forshaw 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

Too much change too quickly at Wrexham

10 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Market

Altamura expected to open talks for Modou Faal

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Wrexham will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

From our football correspondent Steady

Market

Modou Faal puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Wrexham, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Wrexham turn down GIF Sundsvall for Modou Faal

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Nathan Broadhead 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 Wrexham this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Danny Ward moves on

Notts County pay $340.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad

Callum Doyle 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.

Player ratings

Davis Keillor-Dunn runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Josh Windass was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.03. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Match

Honours even between Wrexham and Watford

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad

Josh Windass finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Wrexham have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Arthur Okonkwo signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Arthur Okonkwo commits to Wrexham for another 4 years.

Squad

Ben Sheaf 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 Wrexham this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Callum Doyle 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.

Market

The clock runs on Arthur Okonkwo'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.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Wrexham

7 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Market

Modou Faal is free to find somewhere else

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