Squad16 Jun 2031

A knee injury of the worst kind for Onur Bulut

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

Boardroom16 Jun 2031

The interim tag comes off Interim Coach

VfB Stuttgart interviewed the field and appointed the corridor: Interim Coach keeps the job he had been doing in all but title. Sometimes the safest pair of hands is the one already holding the wheel.

Match16 Jun 2031

VfB Stuttgart sink to position 17

15 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Squad16 Jun 2031

A fracture rules Thomas Stein out for 17 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason VfB Stuttgart will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market16 Jun 2031

Matheo Raab 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 The request is on a desk at VfB Stuttgart, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market16 Jun 2031

FC Augsburg come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and VfB Stuttgart did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad16 Jun 2031

Tempers go at VfB Stuttgart

Tiago Poller 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.

Market16 Jun 2031

The Noahkai Banks conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Liverpool will make the call about Noahkai Banks this week. VfB Stuttgart have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Squad16 Jun 2031

Jordy Makengo falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad9 Jun 2031

A knee injury of the worst kind for Onur Bulut

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

Squad9 Jun 2031

A fracture rules Thomas Stein out for 24 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason VfB Stuttgart will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market9 Jun 2031

VfB Stuttgart turn down Hamburger SV for Johannes Eggestein

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market9 Jun 2031

Jon Ander Olasagasti 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 VfB Stuttgart can pretend not to have heard.

Market9 Jun 2031

Noahkai Banks is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at VfB Stuttgart is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad9 Jun 2031

Onur Bulut says VfB Stuttgart went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

The terraces2 Jun 2031

The mood at VfB Stuttgart has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Squad2 Jun 2031

A knee injury of the worst kind for Onur Bulut

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

Market2 Jun 2031

Tiago Poller 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 VfB Stuttgart can pretend not to have heard.

Squad2 Jun 2031

A fracture rules Thomas Stein out for 31 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason VfB Stuttgart will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market2 Jun 2031

Mirza Ćatović has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around VfB Stuttgart they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad2 Jun 2031

A move Oleksandr Dykhtiaruk would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Oleksandr Dykhtiaruk is living that version at VfB Stuttgart, and it tends to show in the first month.
