Market

Luismi Cruz asks to leave Deportivo La Coruña

“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.

The dugout

Riki: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Deportivo La Coruña have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Deportivo La Coruña say no — this time

The offer from Granada for Ulises Delgado was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Adama Traoré 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 Deportivo La Coruña this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Ignacio Moreno is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 18 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Words at Deportivo La Coruña training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dani Carvajal 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.

Market

Deportivo La Coruña may not be able to give Lautaro Cueli what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Lautaro Cueli wants continental football; whether Deportivo La Coruña can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Mathew Ryan

Deportivo La Coruña asked and Levante said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Deportivo La Coruña

8 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

In brief

Back issues

Market

Lucas González agrees terms with America de Cali

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Deportivo La Coruña people have started saying his name in the past tense.

The dugout

Ulises Delgado: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Deportivo La Coruña have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Deportivo La Coruña turn down Rio Ave for Riki

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

Market

Lucas González 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 Deportivo La Coruña can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets

Axel Werner is a medical away from Deportivo La Coruña

The deal with Elche 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

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Deportivo La Coruña agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market

Ulises Delgado attracts admirers

The name of Ulises Delgado has come up in conversations Deportivo La Coruña were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

Dani Carvajal 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 Deportivo La Coruña this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

The step up is real for Ignacio Moreno

At 18 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.
