Market

Noah Cobb asks to leave Atlanta United FC

“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.

Squad

Emmanuel Latte Lath wants to go home

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

Squad

Noah Cobb 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 Atlanta United FC this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

When it matters, Miguel Almirón plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market

Emmanuel Latte Lath linked with a move away

The name of Emmanuel Latte Lath keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Atlanta United FC say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout

Lucas Hoyos asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad

A season on the outside for Miguel Almirón

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Atlanta United FC has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

Market

Atlanta United FC put Steven Alzate up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Steven Alzate may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Market

Still no signature from Enea Mihaj

7 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what Atlanta United FC could get for him.

Player ratings

A debut Daniel Wright will not forget — 8.19

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 2 on the scoresheet, 8.19 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Match

Atlanta United FC bow out of the cup

FC Dallas go through and Atlanta United FC go home, 2‑2 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Market

Emmanuel Latte Lath 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 Atlanta United FC, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets

Atlanta United FC bid $17.8M for Samuel Adeniran

The offer went to Seattle Sounders this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Transfer targets

Atlanta United FC bid $4.7M for Luis Otávio

The offer went to LA Galaxy this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Squad

6 saves: Novak Mićović was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Boardroom

Atlanta United FC go back to the board over Luis Otávio

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $4.8M — a club that wants Luis Otávio enough to be asked twice.

Match

At last: Atlanta United FC win one

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

Transfer targets

Atlanta United FC baulk at the price for Morris Duggan

Minnesota United FC wanted more than $520.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.
