Market

Jack Maher 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 The request is on a desk at Nashville SC, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

Andy Najar keeps the receipts

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

Market

The Patrick Yazbek story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Patrick Yazbek signs something — a contract at Nashville SC or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Squad

Andy Najar wants to know why he earns less

Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and Nashville SC have no good answer.

The dugout

The manager makes Alex Muyl a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Nashville SC. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Looking ahead

Home comforts ahead for Nashville SC

Inter Miami CF, position 2, come to town on Saturday. Nobody will call it a big game and nobody at the club will be treating it as anything else.

Match

Cristian Espinoza settles it late for Nashville SC

The 88th minute, half the ground already edging towards the exits, and Cristian Espinoza decided nobody was going anywhere. Philadelphia Union had no time left to answer.

Market

Nashville SC turn down BK Hacken for Ahmed Qasem

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Boardroom

Window shuts: 15 in, 0 out at Nashville SC

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 15 arrived, 0 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Market

Sam Surridge raises the bar for Nashville SC

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Nashville SC heard it as anything else.

Squad

Cristian Espinoza stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Cristian Espinoza and Nashville SC agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Transfer targets

Austin FC tell Nashville SC: CJ Fodrey 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.

Transfer targets

Deadline beats Nashville SC to D.J. Taylor

The clock did what Minnesota United FC would not, and ended it. Supporters who watched the countdown will spend the next window doing it again.

The dugout

No hiding place for Sam Surridge

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Sam Surridge, and the manager let it.

Market

Daniel Dest steps up from the Nashville SC academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Daniel Dest has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
