Squad

Jesper Lindstrøm damages knee ligaments — 27 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 27 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.

Market

Mats Seiler asks to leave Preußen Münster

“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

Noah Karamoko is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Preußen Münster is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

A falling-out at Preußen Münster

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

Transfer targets

Eintracht Frankfurt tell Preußen Münster: Piet Scobel is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Noah Karamoko 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

Borja Calvo out for 62 days

The medical room confirms 62 days on the sidelines for Borja Calvo, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Transfer targets

Preußen Münster ask about Linus Gechter

A loan enquiry to Köln: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Transfer targets

Preußen Münster try to borrow Enzo Sternal

Borussia Dortmund 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.

Squad

Jano ter Horst damages knee ligaments — 81 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 81 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.

Boardroom

Pressure builds in the Preußen Münster boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Market

Kobaro Akaunu 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 Preußen Münster can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Only the photograph left for Lucas Lissens

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Lucas Lissens will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Preußen Münster the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Transfer targets

Uchenna Ogundu due for a Preußen Münster medical

Everything agreed with Köln, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Boardroom

Matthew Clarke has agreed to leave Preußen Münster for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad

A falling-out at Preußen Münster

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

Squad

Sandro Batereanu arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Sandro Batereanu has, at Preußen Münster, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad

Words at Preußen Münster training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Yannis Lawson 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.
