Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Robin Hack

38 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Borussia Mönchengladbach lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Christian Pulisic

Borussia Mönchengladbach asked and AC Milan said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

Tobias Sippel 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 Borussia Mönchengladbach can pretend not to have heard.

Market

SC Freiburg come back empty-handed

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

Squad

A falling-out at Borussia Mönchengladbach

Kevin Stöger and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

David Schmid stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” David Schmid and Borussia Mönchengladbach agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Boardroom

Borussia Mönchengladbach say no to the training-ground money

The plan went upstairs and came back down. Nothing about that will make a headline anywhere else, and everybody who works at the training ground will remember it for years.

Looking ahead

Wouter Burger faces his old club

TSG Hoffenheim next, and one man in the Borussia Mönchengladbach dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Market

The Hugo Bolin question follows Borussia Mönchengladbach around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Hugo Bolin’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Transfer targets

Borussia Mönchengladbach rebuffed over Antony

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Betis have kept their man, and Borussia Mönchengladbach go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market

Wouter Burger arrives at Borussia Mönchengladbach in a $19.3M statement of intent

There comes a point where a club either backs its own ambition or admits it does not have any. Borussia Mönchengladbach have paid $19.3M for Wouter Burger, which is the loudest way there is of saying which one it chose.

Market

Borussia Mönchengladbach say no — this time

The offer from Hannover 96 for Moritz Nicolas 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.

Squad

Words exchanged at Borussia Mönchengladbach

Kevin Stöger 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.

The terraces

The town asked, and Borussia Mönchengladbach paid $19.3M

Wouter Burger was the name on every phone-in, and the club has gone and signed him for $19.3M. For one week the board can do no wrong, which is a week most boards never get.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Borussia Mönchengladbach

8 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Squad

Wouter Burger still has not settled

A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at Borussia Mönchengladbach would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.

Squad

A wage question at Borussia Mönchengladbach

Kevin Stöger has done the arithmetic and does not like the answer. Nothing corrodes a squad faster, and no club has ever solved it by explaining the wage structure to a footballer.

Market

Tobias Sippel placed on the list

Borussia Mönchengladbach have made Tobias Sippel available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.
