From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Lucas Alcázar: 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.” Castellón have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Iñigo Córdoba out for 32 days

The medical room confirms 32 days on the sidelines for Iñigo Córdoba, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Tempers go at Castellón

Álvaro Odriozola 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.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Márcio Oliveira 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 Mouscron this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Niels Verburgh out for 89 days

The medical room confirms 89 days on the sidelines for Niels Verburgh, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Jonathan Hendrickx 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.

Squad

Patrick Le Roux knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Mouscron, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

Jonathan Hendrickx runs his contract down

2 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Mouscron money.

Market

The Lionel Gómez story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Lionel Gómez signs something — a contract at Mouscron or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Mouscron say no — this time

The offer from Anderlecht for Márcio Oliveira 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.

Market

Ben Thys 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 Mouscron can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Patrick Le Roux stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Patrick Le Roux and Mouscron agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Mouscron

Márcio Oliveira 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Jonathan Hendrickx

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

The Zinho Hazard story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Zinho Hazard signs something — a contract at Mouscron or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.
