The terraces

The mood at Admira Wacker has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Market

Moritz Leitner 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 The request is on a desk at Admira Wacker, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Admira Wacker turn down SV Ried for Mateja Bubanj

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Admira Wacker

Andreas Kuen 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.

Squad

The step up is real for Valentín Silva

At 23 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad

Luka Caculović 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.

Transfer targets

Admira Wacker try to borrow Cédric Nuozzi

Alverca 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.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Cheveyo Tsawa is in the works

Admira Wacker have made the call to Club Brugge. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

A loan move for Ryan Ogam is in the works

Admira Wacker have made the call to Wolfsberger AC. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Back issues

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A fracture rules Moritz Leitner out for 42 days

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

Squad

Guido Kalajdzic damages knee ligaments — 24 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 24 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

The terraces

Supporters organise against the Admira Wacker board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Market

Cican Stanković hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Admira Wacker can pretend not to have heard.

Boardroom

Deadline passes with 10 signed and 2 gone

That is the business done at Admira Wacker until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Market

Admira Wacker say no — this time

The offer from Omiya Ardija for Benjamin Nyarko 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.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Patrick Ciurria rejects the move

Admira Wacker had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Monza, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad

Words exchanged at Admira Wacker

Yusuf Demir 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

Admira Wacker rebuffed over Florian Kainz

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Köln have kept their man, and Admira Wacker go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
