Market

Only the photograph left for Thomas Hasal

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Thomas Hasal will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Los Angeles Football Club the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Denis Bouanga 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 Los Angeles Football Club this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A row about effort at Los Angeles Football Club

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

Boardroom

Wages eat 100% of everything Los Angeles Football Club earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

The dugout

The manager makes Ryan Hollingshead a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Los Angeles Football Club. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Market

Amin Boudri linked with a move away

The name of Amin Boudri keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Los Angeles Football Club say nothing, which says plenty.

Match

Los Angeles Football Club out of the cup

Philadelphia Union ended it 1‑2. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Market

Los Angeles Football Club turn down Middlesbrough for Denis Bouanga

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Player ratings

Denis Bouanga scores twice — 8.52

Two goals and a mark of 8.52 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market

So close: Heung-Min Son’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Houston Dynamo moved on, Heung-Min Son reports back to Los Angeles Football Club, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Player ratings

Up for the corner, and Aaron Long delivers — 7.66

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Aaron Long scored, was marked 7.66, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Transfer targets

Los Angeles Football Club baulk at the price for Justen Glad

Real Salt Lake wanted more than $650.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Squad

A falling-out at Los Angeles Football Club

Denis Bouanga and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match

Denis Bouanga sends Los Angeles Football Club past San Jose Earthquakes

It finished 3‑1, and it was Denis Bouanga’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Los Angeles Football Club.

The dugout

No hiding place for Sergi Palencia

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