Transfer targets

Haitam Abaida will not be coming to Guadalajara

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Málaga is saying, and nobody at Guadalajara is enjoying the guessing.

Squad

Tempers go at Guadalajara

Javi Gómez 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.

Market

Biel Martín steps up from the Guadalajara academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Biel Martín 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.

Market

Guadalajara promote Gabriel Fuentes from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Gabriel Fuentes 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

One of our own: Alberto Caballero joins the Guadalajara first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Alberto Caballero is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Guadalajara promote Martín Cano from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Martín Cano 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.

Squad

7 new faces, and Guadalajara are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Squad

Rodri signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Rodri commits to Guadalajara for another 1 years.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Haitam Abaida is in the works

Guadalajara have made the call to Málaga. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Squad

Javi Gómez signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Javi Gómez commits to Guadalajara for another 4 years.

Squad

Javi Gómez 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 Guadalajara this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Guadalajara ask about Haitam Abaida

A loan enquiry to Málaga: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Transfer targets

Guadalajara try to borrow Ángel Recio

Málaga have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Transfer targets

Guadalajara ask about Dani González

A loan enquiry to Juventud Torremolinos: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Squad

A row about effort at Guadalajara

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Cadete was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
