Squad16 Jul 2029

Köln count the cost of losing Jakub Kamiński

15 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad16 Jul 2029

Tempers go at Köln

Jakub Kamiński 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.

Market16 Jul 2029

Dodô is on his way

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

Squad16 Jul 2029

The manager makes an example of Luc Dabrowski

“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.

The Ragnar Ache story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Ragnar Ache signs something — a contract at Köln or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Market16 Jul 2029

The shop window has Love Arrhov in it

Köln have let the market know Love Arrhov can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Match27 Jan 2029

A derby to forget for Köln

Beaten 0‑5 by Borussia Mönchengladbach in the one fixture where losing is not allowed. The football was bad enough; the week ahead will be worse.

Match27 Jan 2029

The wait goes on for Köln

12 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Boardroom29 Jan 2029

The scrutiny sharpens at Köln

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Köln is running low.

Squad29 Jan 2029

A one-man rearguard from Florian Müller

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market29 Jan 2029

Köln turn down Heidenheim for Youssoupha Niang

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

Squad29 Jan 2029

Julian Brandt 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 Köln this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings29 Jan 2029

Saïd El Mala runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad29 Jan 2029

The manager makes an example of Ragnar Ache

“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.

Player ratings29 Jan 2029

The one thing Ragnar Ache could not do

Shots: 9, enough of them from close enough that a striker in form scores two. He is not a striker in form.

Boardroom19 Jun 2028

Köln give the job to Interim Coach

The club looked outside for a month, found nothing it preferred, and handed the job to the man who had been doing it anyway. He knows the building; now he has to prove he knows the rest.

Match19 Jun 2028

Köln sink to position 18

23 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Market19 Jun 2028

Köln sell Ayoube Amaimouni-Echghouyab for $33.1M

Ayoube Amaimouni-Echghouyab has left for St. Pauli in a $33.1M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad19 Jun 2028

Tempers go at Köln

Jakub Kamiński 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.

Player ratings19 Jun 2028

Nobody could get near Andrej Vasović

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings19 Jun 2028

Jakub Kamiński in the eights

A performance of 8.28 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad19 Jun 2028

Luc Dabrowski signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Luc Dabrowski and Köln agree another 4 years.

Squad19 Jun 2028

Joël Schmied 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.

Market19 Jun 2028

Eliás Montiel placed on the list

Köln have made Eliás Montiel available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.
