Market26 Jun 2028

Jack Tucker 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 The request is on a desk at Colchester United, and it is not being withdrawn.

The terraces26 Jun 2028

Colchester United sell a favourite for $1.0M

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Max Jolliffe was one of the reasons people came, and $1.0M does not replace that by itself.

Transfer targets26 Jun 2028

Colchester United make their move for Jesurun Rak-Sakyi

$2.8M on the table at Crystal Palace. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets26 Jun 2028

No deal for Romain Faivre at that price

Colchester United offered $3.5M; Bournemouth said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Market26 Jun 2028

Colchester United get their man

The chase for Reece Cole ended with $400.0K changing hands and Exeter City out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Market26 Jun 2028

Colchester United sell Max Jolliffe for $1.0M

Max Jolliffe has left for Peterborough United in a $1.0M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Transfer targets26 Jun 2028

Colchester United make their move for Alex Cairns

$8.0K on the table at Cheltenham Town. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad26 Jun 2028

Josh Eccles 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.

Squad26 Jun 2028

Words exchanged at Colchester United

Reece Cole 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 targets26 Jun 2028

Manchester United rebuffed over Dennis Cirkin

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Queens Park Rangers have kept their man, and Manchester United go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market26 Jun 2028

Amad 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 Manchester United, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market26 Jun 2028

Joachim Andersen is a Manchester United player

The fee is $9.2M, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Fulham drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Market26 Jun 2028

Manchester United turn down Grimsby Town for Lisandro Martínez

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

Match26 Jun 2028

Manchester United are in among the leaders

Position 3 and 79 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

The dugout26 Jun 2028

Leny Yoro: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Manchester United have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad26 Jun 2028

Joachim Andersen gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Joachim Andersen has just signed for Manchester United, and for once the answer mattered.

Market26 Jun 2028

Manchester United sell Fred Heath for $660.0K

Fred Heath has left for Colchester United in a $660.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad26 Jun 2028

Manchester United count the cost of losing Daniel Armer

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

Transfer targets19 Jun 2028

Colchester United agree $660.0K for Fred Heath

The clubs have shaken hands with Manchester United; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Transfer targets19 Jun 2028

Colchester United baulk at the price for Víctor Muñoz

Liverpool wanted more than $4.7M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Transfer targets19 Jun 2028

An offer of $3.5M for Romain Faivre

Colchester United have gone to Bournemouth with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Market19 Jun 2028

Abraham Bass 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 Colchester United can pretend not to have heard.

Market19 Jun 2028

Colchester United turn down Northampton Town for Tom Smith

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

Market19 Jun 2028

Makise Evans moves on

Salford City pay $630.0K, 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.

Squad19 Jun 2028

Words at Colchester United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Josh Eccles 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.

Squad19 Jun 2028

A falling-out at Colchester United

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

The dugout19 Jun 2028

Marcus Mikhail 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.

Market12 Jun 2028

Callum Maycock is on his way

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

Tom Smith 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 Colchester United, and it is not being withdrawn.

Ian Corsaro gets the move he always wanted

Market12 Jun 2028

Tom Smith attracts admirers

The name of Tom Smith has come up in conversations Colchester United were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Words at Colchester United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marcus Mikhail 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.

Squad12 Jun 2028

Kyreece Lisbie has had enough of the bench

“I did not come here to warm up in front of people.” He is out of contract eventually, he is old enough to count the weeks, and Colchester United will have to give him a reason to stay or an exit.

In brief
