Market

Denil Castillo agrees terms with Esbjerg

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around FC Midtjylland people have started saying his name in the past tense.

The dugout

Marcus Ingvartsen keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” FC Midtjylland may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market

Júnior Brumado 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 FC Midtjylland can pretend not to have heard.

Market

FC Copenhagen come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and FC Midtjylland did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Boardroom

The silence upstairs is getting loud at FC Midtjylland

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Market

Thomas Carrasco has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around FC Midtjylland they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Transfer targets

Obasi Onyebuchi due for a FC Midtjylland medical

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

Squad

Words exchanged at FC Midtjylland

Philip Billing 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.

Squad

Words at FC Midtjylland training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Rasmus Kristensen 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Thomas Carrasco

Successful dribbles: 29. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The dugout

Kelvin John: 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.” FC Midtjylland have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Boardroom

The scrutiny sharpens at FC Midtjylland

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at FC Midtjylland is running low.

Squad

Marcus Ingvartsen 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 FC Midtjylland this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at FC Midtjylland training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Rasmus Kristensen 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

Mads Emil Madsen 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for FC Midtjylland against Aalborg

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

The dugout

Christian Kjaer answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.
