Marked for David Aaronson

Squad3 May 2027

David Aaronson 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.

Player ratings3 May 2027

Lautaro Giaccone 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.

Player ratings3 May 2027

Éric Bailly, 33, rolls back the years — 7.90

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.90 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Match1 May 2027

Nobody wants to play Columbus Crew right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad3 May 2027

André Gomes 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 Columbus Crew this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match1 May 2027

Columbus Crew find a way past New York Red Bulls

New York Red Bulls made Columbus Crew work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings3 May 2027

One of those days for Brais Méndez

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.28, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad3 May 2027

A row about effort at Columbus Crew

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

Squad3 May 2027

A place in the month's best eleven for Andrés Herrera

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Andrés Herrera has come out of that comparison in the side, and Columbus Crew have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

Squad26 Apr 2027

26 days out for David Aaronson after a fracture

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

Market26 Apr 2027

Taha Habroune turns Chicago Fire down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Boardroom26 Apr 2027

Columbus Crew close the window on a squad of their own making

7 in and 4 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Player ratings26 Apr 2027

Lautaro Giaccone runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad26 Apr 2027

Tempers go at Columbus Crew

André Gomes 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.

Match24 Apr 2027

Columbus Crew get the job done against Toronto FC

A 1‑0 win over Toronto FC, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings26 Apr 2027

Brais Méndez was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.21. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad26 Apr 2027

Words at Columbus Crew training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nicolás Rodríguez 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.

The dugout26 Apr 2027

A promise honoured for Santiago Rodríguez

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Columbus Crew told Santiago Rodríguez something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Words exchanged at Columbus Crew

André Gomes 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.

Market12 Oct 2026

Cameron Steffen steps up from the Columbus Crew academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Cameron Steffen 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.

Market12 Oct 2026

Columbus Crew promote David Aaronson from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. David Aaronson 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.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Steven Moreira 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 dugout12 Oct 2026

When it matters, Josef Martínez plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market12 Oct 2026

The Patrick Schulte story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Patrick Schulte signs something — a contract at Columbus Crew or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Gonzalo Tapia called up by his country

A window away with the national side, and a shirt at Columbus Crew that briefly doubles as an advertisement. A call-up flatters the player and the club that built him in the same breath.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Josef Martínez knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Columbus Crew, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad12 Oct 2026

André Gomes has settled at Columbus Crew

The shrug has gone, the language is coming, and he now argues in training like somebody who expects to be here next year. Half a signing's value is this and none of it appears on a fee.
