Boardroom

The scrutiny sharpens at FC Augsburg

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at FC Augsburg is running low.

Market

Fabian Bredlow 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 FC Augsburg can pretend not to have heard.

Market

FC Augsburg get their man

The chase for Oskar Wójcik ended with $2.0M changing hands and Werder Bremen out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Market

Altach come back empty-handed

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

Transfer targets

Maurice Krattenmacher due for a FC Augsburg medical

Everything agreed with Bayern Munich, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Transfer targets

Bayern Munich tell FC Augsburg: Alejandro Balde is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Words exchanged at FC Augsburg

Romario Rösch 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

No place for Oskar Wójcik in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation FC Augsburg are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Market

The Finn Dahmen question follows FC Augsburg around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Finn Dahmen’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Market

Thomas Kastanaras 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 The request is on a desk at FC Augsburg, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Finn Dahmen keeps FC Augsburg in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

Kacper Potulski 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 FC Augsburg this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

FC Augsburg come up short against Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑2 Ralph Krämer left the room before anybody could ask which.

The dugout

A promise honoured at FC Augsburg

Something was said to Livan Burcu and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

The dugout

Carney Chukwuemeka does not fit this one

Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.

Squad

Elias Saad scores his first for FC Augsburg

The one goal every signing is asked about until it comes. It has come, and a press-conference question has been retired.

Market

Finn Dahmen linked with a move away

The name of Finn Dahmen keeps appearing in other people's back pages. FC Augsburg say nothing, which says plenty.

In brief
