Market

Jack Skahan has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around San Jose Earthquakes they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Tempers go at San Jose Earthquakes

Timo Werner 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

Ronaldo Vieira 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

Dave Romney knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at San Jose Earthquakes, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Noel Buck

Successful dribbles: 12. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

No goals between San Jose Earthquakes and Minnesota United FC

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Minnesota United FC will be the happier side with the point.

Market

San Jose Earthquakes say no — this time

The offer from Porto for Luka Jovanović was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Player ratings

Beau LeRoux runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Nathan Crockford has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around San Jose Earthquakes they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Boardroom

San Jose Earthquakes to lose Jack Skahan for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Jack Skahan has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad

Tempers go at San Jose Earthquakes

Timo Werner 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

Beau LeRoux signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Beau LeRoux commits to San Jose Earthquakes for another 4 years.

Match

San Jose Earthquakes come up short against St. Louis CITY SC

St. Louis CITY SC left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Jonathan González 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.

Market

Talks stall between San Jose Earthquakes and Dave Romney

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.
