Marked for Raúl Giménez

Squad29 May 2028

Raúl Giménez breaks a bone — 18 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 18 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market29 May 2028

Juan Ignacio Blanco 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 Zaragoza can pretend not to have heard.

Market29 May 2028

Marc Pubill raises the bar for Zaragoza

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

Squad29 May 2028

Stanko Jurić in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Zaragoza this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad29 May 2028

Words at Zaragoza training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Pape Guèye is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad29 May 2028

Álvaro Fidalgo is carrying Zaragoza

10 goals and a season average of 7.39. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Match27 May 2028

Zaragoza see off Oviedo

Three points for Zaragoza, 3‑1 the final word against Oviedo in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The dugout29 May 2028

Lucas Bergström gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The terraces29 May 2028

One of their own: Garri

He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match20 May 2028

Nobody wins at Zaragoza

26 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Squad22 May 2028

27 days out for Raúl Giménez after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Zaragoza will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Player ratings22 May 2028

A defender's goal wins it for Zaragoza — 7.98

1 for Raúl Guti, marked 7.98, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Squad22 May 2028

A falling-out at Zaragoza

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

Market22 May 2028

Only the photograph left for Michell Rodríguez

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Michell Rodríguez will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Zaragoza the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Player ratings22 May 2028

One of those days for Troy Parrott

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.61, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

The dugout22 May 2028

Pau Sans gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad22 May 2028

Words at Zaragoza training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mariano Peralta Bauer is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Loan watch22 May 2028

Ale Gomes wants to come home

“I did not go to Alavés to sit and watch. I want to come back to Zaragoza and fight for my place.” 5 appearances in 18 matches say the rest.

Squad8 Feb 2027

16 days out for Raúl Giménez after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Zaragoza will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market8 Feb 2027

Jaouad El Yamiq 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 Zaragoza can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout8 Feb 2027

Raúl Navarro: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Zaragoza have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Player ratings8 Feb 2027

Álvaro Fidalgo was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 26. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Match6 Feb 2027

4 matches without a win for Zaragoza

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Zaragoza are no longer polite ones.

Squad8 Feb 2027

A falling-out at Zaragoza

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

Transfer targets8 Feb 2027

Spartak Moscow tell Zaragoza: Esequiel Barco 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.

The dugout8 Feb 2027

Pablo Insua gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Toni Moya 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 Zaragoza can pretend not to have heard.

Squad1 Feb 2027

Raúl Giménez breaks a bone — 24 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 24 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The dugout1 Feb 2027

Jaouad El Yamiq: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Zaragoza have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Boardroom1 Feb 2027

Deadline passes with 6 signed and 5 gone

That is the business done at Zaragoza until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Market1 Feb 2027

Zaragoza say no — this time

The offer from Vitesse for Sem Westerveld 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.

Market1 Feb 2027

Pape Guèye wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Zaragoza hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad1 Feb 2027

Words exchanged at Zaragoza

Marc Pubill 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.

Squad1 Feb 2027

Words at Zaragoza training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Pape Guèye is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Transfer targets1 Feb 2027

Door shut on Agustín Palavecino

Zaragoza asked and Cruz Azul said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
