Match

Cruel end for KV Mechelen as Standard Liege pounce

There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Standard Liege scored in the 90th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Squad

Matthieu Epolo stands alone

8 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Market

Standard Liege say no — this time

The offer from Borussia Dortmund for Matthieu Epolo 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.

Transfer targets

Standard Liege make their move for Arnaud Bodart

$9.6M on the table at LOSC Lille. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad

André-Pierre Gignac takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Market

The San Jose Earthquakes deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Marlon Fossey reports back to Standard Liege with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Player ratings

Age has not caught André-Pierre Gignac yet — 9.41

At 40 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 9.41 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Transfer targets

No deal for Aiham Ousou at that price

Standard Liege offered $4.8M; Charleroi said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Transfer targets

Club Brugge tell Standard Liege: Kyriani Sabbe 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.

Market

Standard Liege say no — this time

The offer from Real Salt Lake for Marlon Fossey 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.

Transfer targets

Standard Liege make their move for Álex Remiro

$3.2M on the table at Real Sociedad. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad

Dimitri Lavalée signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Dimitri Lavalée commits to Standard Liege for another 4 years.

Squad

Words exchanged at Standard Liege

André-Pierre Gignac 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.

Squad

Mohammed El Hankouri falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

No place for André-Pierre Gignac in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Standard Liege are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Market

Nobody at Standard Liege has picked up the phone to Marlon Fossey

49 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Match

Standard Liege and Anderlecht take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

The dugout

Tobias Mohr knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Tobias Mohr trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
