Market

Carlos González 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 CE Europa can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets

Eric Puerto is a medical away from CE Europa

The deal with Deportivo La Coruña is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad

Tempers go at CE Europa

Kuki Zalazar 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.

Transfer targets

An offer of $67.0K for Anartz Peña

CE Europa have gone to Arenas Club 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.

Squad

Justin-Noël Kalumba 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

A bad afternoon for CE Europa against Sevilla Atlético

0‑2 to Sevilla Atlético, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

No hiding place for Khalid Noureddine

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Khalid Noureddine, and the manager let it.

Market

Toni Caravaca told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Toni Caravaca has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at CE Europa.

Squad

Faqih Maulana 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 CE Europa know it.

Squad

16 days out for Andrés Rivera after a fracture

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

Market

Carlos González 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 CE Europa can pretend not to have heard.

Boardroom

CE Europa close the window on a squad of their own making

25 in and 17 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Transfer targets

Agustín Sienra will not be coming to CE Europa

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Castellón is saying, and nobody at CE Europa is enjoying the guessing.

Squad

Jordi Cano 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 CE Europa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A move Ksawery Kwiatkowski would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Ksawery Kwiatkowski is living that version at CE Europa, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Khalid Noureddine 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.

Transfer targets

Las Palmas tell CE Europa: Jeremía Recoba 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

Cristobal Chadwick 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
