Marked for Aldin Softić

The Rapid Wien II Gazette

From our football correspondent Steady

Market15 Jul 2030

Terms done: Marcel Kalajdzic is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Hartberg waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Rapid Wien II is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Market15 Jul 2030

Only the photograph left for Oliver Strunz

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Oliver Strunz will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Rapid Wien II the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market15 Jul 2030

Rapid Wien II say no — this time

The offer from Persebaya for Moulaye Haïdara 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.

Market15 Jul 2030

Aldin Softić asks to leave Rapid Wien II

“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.

Squad15 Jul 2030

Martin Ndzie 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.

Squad15 Jul 2030

A falling-out at Rapid Wien II

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

The Rapid Wien Chronicle

10 Jun 2030
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad10 Jun 2030

106 days out for Alexander Hofleitner after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Rapid Wien will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market10 Jun 2030

Róber has said yes to Austria Lustenau

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Rapid Wien have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market10 Jun 2030

Giacomo Vrioni asks to leave Rapid Wien

“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.

Market10 Jun 2030

Rapid Wien say no — this time

The offer from Lincoln City for Harrison Armstrong 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 targets10 Jun 2030

No thanks: Noah Botic rejects the move

Rapid Wien had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Sturm Graz, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad10 Jun 2030

Giovanni Leoni wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Rapid Wien know it.

Squad10 Jun 2030

Giovanni Leoni 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 Rapid Wien this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market10 Jun 2030

As if he never left: Aldin Softić returns

Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Aldin Softić is a Rapid Wien player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Transfer targets10 Jun 2030

Door shut on Clemens Steinbauer

Rapid Wien asked and Admira Wacker said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

The Luzern Courier

3 Sep 2029
From our football correspondent Steady

Boardroom3 Sep 2029

Luzern give the job to Ivo Rieder

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.

Market3 Sep 2029

Terms done: Giannis Gitersos is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Winterthur waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Luzern is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Match3 Sep 2029

Luzern are in real trouble now

Position 11, 4 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Boardroom3 Sep 2029

Luzern write off $43.6K on Aldin Softić

He arrived for a fee and leaves for a fraction of it. $43.6K of what Luzern paid for Aldin Softić is money the club will not see again, and the boardroom will be asked about it for two seasons.

Squad3 Sep 2029

Tim Dietrich gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Tim Dietrich has just signed for Luzern, and for once the answer mattered.

Boardroom3 Sep 2029

Window shuts: 26 in, 11 out at Luzern

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 26 arrived, 11 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Market3 Sep 2029

Calvin Brackelmann wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Luzern hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Transfer targets3 Sep 2029

Julian von Moos due for a Luzern medical

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

Transfer targets3 Sep 2029

Yunus Akgün turns down Luzern

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