Market

Martín Rodríguez 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 The request is on a desk at Eibar, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

Lander Olaetxea: 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.” Eibar have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Tempers go at Eibar

Juan Bernat 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

Words at Eibar training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Unai Elgezabal 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 targets

Door shut on Pedro Felipe

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

Market

Peru Nolaskoain told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Peru Nolaskoain has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Eibar.

Squad

A muscle injury sidelines Àlex Vidal for 14 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Eibar will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

The dugout

Imanol 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.

Squad

Tomás Silva is a square peg at Eibar

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

In brief
