From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Abdoulie Ceesay has said yes to Hamburger SV

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. St. Pauli have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Transfer targets

St. Pauli agree $1.2M for Jannik Huth

The clubs have shaken hands with SC Freiburg; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Match

At last: St. Pauli win one

10 matches without a win, and then this, against Köln. Relief is a strange noise in a football ground and it was the only noise at the end.

Market

Facundo Rodríguez asks to leave St. Pauli

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings

Vintage Jackson Irvine — 7.94

At 33 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.94, and nobody on the pitch better.

The dugout

Facundo Rodríguez says St. Pauli 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.

Transfer targets

Maxime Estève is a medical away from St. Pauli

The deal with RB Leipzig is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad

Words exchanged at St. Pauli

Jackson Irvine 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.

Squad

Words at St. Pauli training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Maurits Kjærgaard 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.

In brief
