Match

Los Angeles Football Club are in real trouble now

Position 14, 23 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Market

Tim Tillman asks to leave Los Angeles Football Club

“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.

Market

Only the photograph left for Nkosi Tafari

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Nkosi Tafari will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Los Angeles Football Club the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Yevhen Cheberko 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 Los Angeles Football Club this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Los Angeles Football Club training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Artem Smolyakov 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.

Squad

Michael Steffen stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Michael Steffen and Los Angeles Football Club agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market

Atlanta United FC come back empty-handed

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

Market

Ahmed Ali Amin 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 Los Angeles Football Club can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Tempers go at Los Angeles Football Club

Yevhen Cheberko 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.

Squad

Artem Smolyakov 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.

Market

Eddie Segura is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Los Angeles Football Club has been clear about where Eddie Segura stands, which is more than many ever get.

Market

Minnesota United FC expected to open talks for Noah Riskwait

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Los Angeles Football Club will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.
