Boardroom

DeAndre Yedlin is out at Minnesota United FC

Four paragraphs on the club website, none of them about football. The board thanked him, wished him well, and had the search under way before the page went up.

Market

Tomás Chancalay 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 Minnesota United FC can pretend not to have heard.

Boardroom

James Pepi steps up at Minnesota United FC for now

“Somebody picks the team on Saturday. This week it is me, and that is as far as I have thought.” No promises were made in either direction, which is how these usually begin.

Squad

Christopher Cano 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. Christopher Cano has, at Minnesota United FC, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Market

One of our own: Tim McKennie joins the Minnesota United FC first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Tim McKennie is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

One of our own: Alex Musah joins the Minnesota United FC first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Alex Musah is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Squad

Words at Minnesota United FC training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kyle Duncan 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.

The dugout

Joaquín Pereyra is playing like a man with something to prove

The oldest phenomenon in the sport: a new voice in the dressing room and suddenly everybody is available for everything. Joaquín Pereyra is training as though the last team sheet never existed, because as far as he is concerned it does not.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Sebastián Giraldo asks to leave Depor

“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.

Squad

Words exchanged at Depor

Jhonier Alomía 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 targets

Almirante Brown tell Depor: Facundo García 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

Juan Diego Perdomo signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Juan Diego Perdomo and Depor agree another 4 years.

The dugout

Eder Balanta 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.

The dugout

Yayo asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad

Yovany García 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

Yayo moves up the pecking order

Nothing is announced when this happens and everybody knows. He is a bigger part of the plan at Depor than he was a month ago, and the training ground worked that out before the team sheet said so.

Market

Depor and Jhonier Julio are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Boardroom

Christopher Cano has agreed to leave Depor 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

Alejandro Oñate is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Alejandro Oñate has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

Squad

Stiwar Veira 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.
