Not going: Dylan Chambost stays at Columbus Crew
“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Lokeren-Temse had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Columbus Crew close the window on a squad of their own making
15 in and 2 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

The game went through Brais Méndez — 6.83
Marked 6.83 on 18 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.
