Dorian Derbaci, 20, steals the show — 7.92
Marked 7.92 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Too dear: Aarau walk away from Betim Fazliji
$1.1M was the most the club would pay and St. Gallen were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Aarau go back to the board over Mio Zimmermann
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $55.0K — a club that wants Mio Zimmermann enough to be asked twice.

Tempers go at Aarau
Dominique Heintz 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.

Aarau make their move for Mio Zimmermann
$52.0K on the table at Luzern. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Serge Müller stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Serge Müller and Aarau agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

A row about effort at Aarau
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Valon Fazliu was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Servette tell Aarau: Marco Burch 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.

Aarau supporters have found a favourite in Leon Frokaj
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Leon Frokaj has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
