Squad

Tempers go at St. Pauli

Joel Chima Fujita 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.

Squad

Ben Voll 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.

Squad

St. Pauli count the cost of losing Gustavo

15 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Match

Köln take the points off St. Pauli

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Max Dean falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings

Squad

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Alexis Domínguez is living that version at St. Pauli, and it tends to show in the first month.

Market

St. Pauli pay Quilmes $860.0K for a proper upgrade

Quilmes did not want to sell and the number is why they did. $860.0K for Alexis Domínguez, and the expectation that arrives with him is the kind no amount of settling-in period softens.

Squad

Joel Chima Fujita signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Joel Chima Fujita commits to St. Pauli for another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at St. Pauli

Market

Eyes on Ricky-Jade Jones again

The phone has started ringing about Ricky-Jade Jones again, and this time the name on the line is RB Leipzig. St. Pauli are listening politely and promising nothing.
