Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Peter Böhm

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

The dugout

Ayoube Amaimouni-Echghouyab says Greuther Fürth went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market

So close: Isac Lidberg’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Hamburger SV moved on, Isac Lidberg reports back to Greuther Fürth, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Market

Sacha Bansé 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 The request is on a desk at Greuther Fürth, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Greuther Fürth say no — this time

The offer from Holstein Kiel for Jannik Dehm 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.

Match

The wait goes on for Greuther Fürth

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad

Words exchanged at Greuther Fürth

Isac Lidberg 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.

Match

The goals have deserted Greuther Fürth

4 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Greuther Fürth can tell you which week it ends in.

The dugout

No hiding place for Mathias Olesen

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

Squad

The knee: Peter Böhm out for 22 days

22 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Greuther Fürth lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market

Yusuke Matsuo’s move to VfB Stuttgart falls through

The deal that would have taken Yusuke Matsuo to VfB Stuttgart has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Greuther Fürth with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Market

Greuther Fürth turn down Preußen Münster for Branimir Hrgota

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

Squad

Luca Itter stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Luca Itter and Greuther Fürth agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

A falling-out at Greuther Fürth

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

Match

Greuther Fürth cannot find the net

3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Transfer targets

Borussia Dortmund tell Greuther Fürth: Rav van den Berg 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.

Market

Greuther Fürth and Yusuke Matsuo are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Loan watch

Sebastian Jung has seen enough of Trelleborg

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Greuther Fürth, and 0 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.

Market

Terms done: Yusuke Matsuo is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and VfB Stuttgart waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Greuther Fürth is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Peter Böhm

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

Market

Greuther Fürth turn down Hamburger SV for Mathias Olesen

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

Market

So close: Erhan Mašović’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. VfL Wolfsburg moved on, Erhan Mašović reports back to Greuther Fürth, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Market

Eyes on Isac Lidberg again

The phone has started ringing about Isac Lidberg again, and this time the name on the line is Hamburger SV. Greuther Fürth are listening politely and promising nothing.

Boardroom

Greuther Fürth close the window on a squad of their own making

13 in and 14 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.

Transfer targets

Jonas Adjetey is a medical away from Greuther Fürth

The deal with Eintracht Frankfurt is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Mario Vušković rejects the move

Greuther Fürth had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Hamburger SV, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad

A falling-out at Greuther Fürth

Ayoube Amaimouni-Echghouyab and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

The knee: Peter Böhm out for 40 days

40 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Greuther Fürth lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Boardroom

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Greuther Fürth

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

Market

Greuther Fürth turn down Mainz 05 for Yusuke Matsuo

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

The dugout

Luca Itter says Greuther Fürth went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market

Maximilian Dietz asks to leave Greuther Fürth

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

Business is business: Marco John goes

Olympiacos paid $3.5M and Greuther Fürth took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Market

Greuther Fürth sell Jakob Engel for $800.0K

Jakob Engel has left for Preußen Münster in a $800.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad

A falling-out at Greuther Fürth

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

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Greuther Fürth

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

In brief
