Charis Tsingaras damages knee ligaments — 38 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 38 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Christian Früchtl will not be coming to Atromitos

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

Boet van der Linden 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 The request is on a desk at Atromitos, and it is not being withdrawn.

Gelson Martins 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 Atromitos this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at Atromitos training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Juan-José Perea 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.

Door shut on Michy Onana

Atromitos asked and Club Brugge said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market12 Jul 2032

Atromitos may not be able to give Ramiro González what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Ramiro González wants continental football; whether Atromitos can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad12 Jul 2032

Late improvement for Manuel Roa

At 24 the improving is meant to be over, and it is not: 3 points better than a year ago. It happens to the ones who take the boring parts seriously.

Atromitos try to borrow Danilo Monza

Modena have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Squad14 Jun 2032

Charis Tsingaras damages knee ligaments — 66 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 66 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market14 Jun 2032

Manuel Roa 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 Atromitos can pretend not to have heard.

Óscar Sánchez turns down Atromitos

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

Squad14 Jun 2032

Words exchanged at Atromitos

Peter Michorl 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.

Maximiliano Zalazar gets the move he always wanted

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

Squad14 Jun 2032

A row about effort at Atromitos

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Juan-José Perea was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Club Brugge tell Atromitos: Michy Onana 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.

Dimitris Berdos 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 dugout14 Jun 2032

Juan-José Perea gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Juan-José Perea is on it.
