Mert Kömür moves on

Supporters turn on the $12.9M sale of Mert Kömür

Elias Saad wants to go home
“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at FC Augsburg can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

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

M'Bala Nzola’s goal not enough for FC Augsburg
M'Bala Nzola scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Köln, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.
