Match

No end in sight to Eibar's wait for a win

7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Eibar has to find a result from somewhere.

Market

Luis López moves on

Osasuna pay $1.7M, 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.

Transfer targets

Igor Neves turns down Eibar

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Stade Brestois keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad

Sergio Álvarez 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 Eibar this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Martín Úbeda 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. Martín Úbeda has, at Eibar, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad

Unai Elgezabal 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.

Match

Eibar come up short against Andorra

Andorra left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Transfer targets

Monaco tell Eibar: Eric Dier 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.

The dugout

Dani Cárdenas 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.

In brief
