Marked for Jonas Simon

Squad28 May 2035

The knee: Jonas Simon out for 16 days

16 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Kaiserslautern lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market28 May 2035

Oscar Fraulo 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 Kaiserslautern can pretend not to have heard.

Market28 May 2035

Christian Rasmussen has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Kaiserslautern they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Boardroom28 May 2035

Mateja Stjepanović has agreed to leave Kaiserslautern for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad28 May 2035

A falling-out at Kaiserslautern

Nino Marcelli and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout28 May 2035

The manager makes an example of Oscar Vilhelmsson

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad28 May 2035

Nathaniel Nwosu wants to go home

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

Market28 May 2035

Still no ink between Kaiserslautern and Fernando Farías

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Kaiserslautern, another week without a signature from Fernando Farías.

Market28 May 2035

The clock does Naatan Skyttä’s negotiating for him

3 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee Kaiserslautern could ask drops and the wages Naatan Skyttä can ask rise.

Squad21 May 2035

The knee: Jonas Simon out for 23 days

23 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Kaiserslautern lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market21 May 2035

Nathaniel Brown has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Kaiserslautern can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Market21 May 2035

Maxim Dekker is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Kaiserslautern is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Market21 May 2035

Nathaniel Nwosu 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 Kaiserslautern can pretend not to have heard.

Squad21 May 2035

Tempers go at Kaiserslautern

Gonçalo Ramos 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.

Boardroom21 May 2035

Kaiserslautern beat the market to Milan Aleksić from Heidenheim

Heidenheim will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Milan Aleksić has pre-agreed a move to Kaiserslautern, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

The dugout21 May 2035

Laurin Ulrich gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market21 May 2035

Still no signature from Oskar Pietuszewski

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

The dugout21 May 2035

Abiel Osorio 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.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad14 May 2035

Jonas Simon damages knee ligaments — 30 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 30 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match14 May 2035

Full time on the season at Kaiserslautern

Position 12 on 38 points. Every season is a story and this is the last line of it, and now the club has three months to decide what the next one is about.

Market14 May 2035

Only the photograph left for Laurin Ulrich

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Laurin Ulrich will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Kaiserslautern the goodbyes have quietly begun.

The dugout14 May 2035

Alessandro Marcandalli says Kaiserslautern went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market14 May 2035

Oskar Pietuszewski wants more than Kaiserslautern are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Match12 May 2035

No end in sight to Kaiserslautern's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Kaiserslautern has to find a result from somewhere.

The dugout14 May 2035

No hiding place for Nathaniel Brown

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Nathaniel Brown, and the manager let it.

Match12 May 2035

Still nobody has beaten Kaiserslautern

The unbeaten run reaches 6. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Boardroom14 May 2035

Kaiserslautern agree a free transfer for Robert Wagner

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.
