A knee injury of the worst kind for Canario
76 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Guadalajara lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Market7 Sep 2026
Unax Álvarez 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 Guadalajara can pretend not to have heard.
Boardroom7 Sep 2026
Deadline passes with 22 signed and 0 gone
That is the business done at Guadalajara until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

A falling-out at Guadalajara
Javi Moreno and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Too much change too quickly at Guadalajara
11 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Javi Gómez is no longer first choice
The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Javi Gómez has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.
Boardroom7 Sep 2026
Guadalajara counting the cost
The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Guadalajara now.
The dugout7 Sep 2026
No hiding place for Samu Mayo
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Samu Mayo, and the manager let it.
In brief
- Looking ahead Javi Gómez goes back to face Celta Fortuna
- Market The market said no: Toño Calvo stays put
- Looking ahead Guadalajara travel to Celta Fortuna
