Squad

Jesús Bueno keeps the receipts

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

Squad

Kai Wagner 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 Philadelphia Union this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Quinn Sullivan 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Quinn Sullivan

Successful dribbles: 43. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Charlotte Football Club come back empty-handed

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

Squad

Japhet Sery Larsen signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Japhet Sery Larsen and Philadelphia Union agree another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Philadelphia Union

Kai Wagner 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.

Market

Tottenham expected to open talks for Agustín Anello

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Philadelphia Union will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Squad

Japhet Sery Larsen 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

Nashville SC take the points off Philadelphia Union

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Alejandro Bedoya 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.

Market

Philadelphia Union sign Michael Sargent, one for the future

Michael Sargent is 14, and Philadelphia Union have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.
