Squad12 Jun 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for Liam Cooper

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

Market12 Jun 2028

Not going: Tobias Asenzo stays at Oldham Athletic

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Deportivo Lara had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Match10 Jun 2028

Chastening afternoon for Oldham Athletic

A 0‑3 beating by Walsall was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Transfer targets12 Jun 2028

Oldham Athletic make their move for Krystian Bielik

$4.0M on the table at West Bromwich Albion. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Market12 Jun 2028

Only the photograph left for Jake Caprice

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Jake Caprice will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Oldham Athletic the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Transfer targets12 Jun 2028

No thanks: Briajan Gjyla rejects the move

Oldham Athletic had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Monopoli, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad12 Jun 2028

Rodrigo Fortes 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 Oldham Athletic this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad12 Jun 2028

Words at Oldham Athletic training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Tennai Watson 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 targets12 Jun 2028

Door shut on Iván Ojeda

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

Squad5 Jun 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for Liam Cooper

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

Match3 Jun 2028

Oldham Athletic let it slip despite Elisha Sowunmi

Elisha Sowunmi had done his part in building a 2-goal cushion. What happened after that was collective, and Burton Albion were allowed back into a match that had been finished with.

Player ratings5 Jun 2028

Elisha Sowunmi, 21, steals the show — 8.47

Marked 8.47 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Market5 Jun 2028

Deportivo Lara watching Tobias Asenzo

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Oldham Athletic have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Market5 Jun 2028

Only the photograph left for Tom Pett

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Tom Pett will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Oldham Athletic the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad5 Jun 2028

A falling-out at Oldham Athletic

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

Squad5 Jun 2028

A row about effort at Oldham Athletic

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Tennai Watson was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets5 Jun 2028

Door shut on Oakley Cannonier

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

Player ratings5 Jun 2028

One of those days for Jack Stevens

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.09, and no argument anywhere in the ground.
