St. Gallen say no — this time
The offer from Young Boys for Christian Witzig 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.

Enoch Owusu has said yes to Sion
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. St. Gallen have lost him in all but the paperwork.

An offer of $5.3M for Ilyas Chouaref
St. Gallen have gone to Sion with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Tiemoko Ouattara, 21, steals the show — 7.71
Marked 7.71 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

St. Gallen rebuffed over Anthony Racioppi
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Sion have kept their man, and St. Gallen go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Gustavo Varela will not be coming to St. Gallen
Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Monza is saying, and nobody at St. Gallen is enjoying the guessing.

Lukas Görtler signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Lukas Görtler and St. Gallen agree another 3 years.

No deal for Sandro Lauper at that price
St. Gallen offered $860.0K; Young Boys 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.

A falling-out at St. Gallen
Lukas Görtler and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
In brief
- Squad A row about effort at St. Gallen
- The terraces One of their own: Aliou Baldé
- The dugout The manager makes an example of Hugo Vandermersch
