Squad3 Sep 2035

A knee injury of the worst kind for Tristan Gooijer

88 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Schalke 04 lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market3 Sep 2035

Francis Onyeka moves on

Borussia Dortmund pay $8.1M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Match1 Sep 2035

Nobody wins at Schalke 04

13 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Market3 Sep 2035

Assan Ouédraogo wants more than Schalke 04 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.

Market3 Sep 2035

Gregor Thomas asks to leave Schalke 04

“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.

Boardroom3 Sep 2035

Schalke 04 close the window on a squad of their own making

25 in and 31 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Market3 Sep 2035

Only the photograph left for Yhannis Onehese

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Yhannis Onehese will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Schalke 04 the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad3 Sep 2035

Words at Schalke 04 training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Malik Tillman 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.

The dugout3 Sep 2035

Assan Ouédraogo has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Schalke 04 will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad20 Nov 2034

A fracture rules Adam Hložek out for 32 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Schalke 04 will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

The dugout20 Nov 2034

Jan Kühn: 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.” Schalke 04 have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market20 Nov 2034

Reuben Reid has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Schalke 04 they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Boardroom20 Nov 2034

Reuben Reid signs for VfL Bochum while still at Schalke 04

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Reuben Reid has agreed terms with VfL Bochum for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad20 Nov 2034

Words at Schalke 04 training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Malik Tillman 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.

The dugout20 Nov 2034

Matteo Francesconi 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.

The dugout20 Nov 2034

When it matters, Assan Ouédraogo 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.

Squad20 Nov 2034

Philipp Heinrich 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 Schalke 04 this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad20 Nov 2034

Gregor Thomas signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Gregor Thomas commits to Schalke 04 for another 4 years.
