The dugout

Pirulo: 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.” Getafe have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Borja Mayoral wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad

Tempers go at Getafe

Nemanja Gudelj 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Manuel Torres

“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.

Market

Jiří Letáček told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Jiří Letáček has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Getafe.

The dugout

Mario Martín 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.

The dugout

Orel Mangala has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Getafe 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.

Looking ahead

A reunion for Juanmi

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Betis in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

Market

Enes Ünal linked with a move away

The name of Enes Ünal keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Getafe say nothing, which says plenty.

Match

4 matches without a win for Getafe

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Getafe are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Tempers go at Getafe

Nemanja Gudelj 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.

Match

4 matches without a goal for Getafe

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 4 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Transfer targets

Albacete tell Getafe: Higinio 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.

Match

Getafe come up short against Levante

Levante left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Manuel Torres

“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.

The dugout

Luken Martínez faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Luken Martínez after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout

Christantus Uche is still paying for one afternoon at Getafe

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

The dugout

Somebody else is better right now than Pirulo

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

Market

Sebastián Boselli turns Amora down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Squad

Javi Pérez gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Javi Pérez has just signed for Getafe, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

Ramón Terrats stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Ramón Terrats and Getafe agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Words exchanged at Getafe

Nemanja Gudelj 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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Pablo Lara

Getafe asked and Pumas UNAM said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

The dugout

No hiding place for Ramón Terrats

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

Market

Getafe promote Marc Alonso from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Marc Alonso has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Getafe promote Carlos Montero from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Carlos Montero has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Cristian Pascual steps up from the Getafe academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Cristian Pascual has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
