Squad

Tempers go at Eibar

Sergio Álvarez 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.

Squad

Real improvement from Diego Esser at Eibar

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Diego Esser is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Jon Bautista

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Boardroom

Wages eat 112% of everything Eibar earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad

Eibar count the cost of losing Luken Torres

31 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Player ratings

Adu Ares stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.84 on the card, and the Eibar support went home talking about one name.

Squad

Sergio Álvarez 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 Eibar this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

3 academy players handed senior numbers at Eibar

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.

Market

Eibar promote Luken Torres from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Luken Torres has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Eibar promote Pablo Romero from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Pablo Romero has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Mario Gallardo steps up from the Eibar academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Mario Gallardo 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.

Boardroom

No investment in the facilities at Eibar

Nothing about this will be in a press release. A plan went upstairs, came back rejected, and the version of the club that would have existed in three years' time just quietly stopped being possible.
