The terraces

Supporters organise against the Getafe board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Match

Chastening afternoon for Getafe

A 1‑5 beating by Villarreal was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Match

9 matches without a win for Getafe

The run now stands at 9, and the questions being asked around Getafe are no longer polite ones.

Market

Zaid Romero 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 Getafe can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Ramón Terrats has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Getafe can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Squad

A falling-out at Getafe

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

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Getafe and Villarreal in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

The dugout

No hiding place for Ramón Terrats

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

Boardroom

Nobody left the Getafe dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Match

No end in sight to Getafe's wait for a win

8 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Getafe has to find a result from somewhere.

The dugout

Iván Azón says Getafe went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Player ratings

A defender's goal wins it for Getafe — 7.77

1 for Ramón Terrats, marked 7.77, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Squad

Words exchanged at Getafe

Johan Mojica 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.

Transfer targets

Getafe rebuffed over Dylan Gorosito

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Boca Juniors have kept their man, and Getafe go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market

Getafe may not be able to give Sebastián Boselli what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Sebastián Boselli wants continental football; whether Getafe can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad

Zaid Romero 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.

Loan watch

Davinchi wants to come home

“I did not go to Betis to sit and watch. I want to come back to Getafe and fight for my place.” 7 appearances in 27 matches say the rest.

Squad

A smaller club would suit Ramón Terrats now

He has had enough of the noise. Whether Getafe can be a quieter place for him, or whether the only cure is a move somewhere the phone-ins are gentler, is a question for the next few months.

Boardroom

Getafe spell it out for Lucas Espinosa

The board’s statement ran to three sentences and one of them mentioned results. Lucas Espinosa has managed long enough to translate: win soon, or the next statement is shorter.

Match

Alavés punish Getafe for switching off

2 goals to the good, and then a slow surrender of everything that had been earned. Enes Ünal will not be the one blamed for it, but nobody at Getafe escapes the conversation that follows a collapse like this.

Squad

A day Enes Ünal will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Match

7 matches without a win for Getafe

The run now stands at 7, and the questions being asked around Getafe are no longer polite ones.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Sebastiano Nava

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings

Ramón Terrats pops up at the right end — 7.12

7.12, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Squad

Tempers go at Getafe

Johan Mojica 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Getafe against Alavés

4‑5 to Alavés, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Enes Ünal

Marked 9.43 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Boardroom

Pressure builds in the Getafe boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Match

Getafe are in real trouble now

Position 20, 8 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Match

Chastening afternoon for Getafe

A 0‑5 beating by Barcelona was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Market

Marcos Ferreira has said yes to Port Vale

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Getafe have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market

Not going: Jiří Letáček stays at Getafe

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Las Palmas had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Match

The wait goes on for Getafe

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Match

The goals have deserted Getafe

6 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Getafe can tell you which week it ends in.

Transfer targets

Getafe rebuffed over Valente Pierani

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Estudiantes have kept their man, and Getafe go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market

Jiří Letáček puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Getafe, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Getafe say no — this time

The offer from Leganés for Zaid Romero 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.

Match

The wait goes on for Getafe

5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Platense tell Getafe: Nicolás Sumavil 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.

Match

Levante take the points off Getafe

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings

Enes Ünal runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

A muscle injury sidelines Iván Nadal for 17 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Getafe will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Match

A hiding for Getafe

Beaten 0‑3 by Rayo Vallecano, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Market

Martín Satriano agrees terms with Oviedo

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Getafe people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Squad

6 saves: Sebastiano Nava was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Squad

Tempers go at Getafe

Johan Mojica 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.

Match

Chastening afternoon for Getafe

A 0‑9 beating by Real Madrid was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Match

Getafe sink to position 20

8 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Market

Getafe turn down Sevilla for Borja Mayoral

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

Boardroom

Pressure builds in the Getafe boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

The dugout

Manuel Torres keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Getafe may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Johan Mojica 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 Getafe this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Real improvement from Sebastiano Nava at Getafe

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Sebastiano Nava is 18, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

9 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Getafe and Real Madrid in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

The terraces

Anger at Getafe spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Match

Nowhere to hide for Getafe

0‑3 against Real Sociedad, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Squad

A falling-out at Getafe

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

The dugout

No hiding place for Mario Martín

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

Match

The half-term report on Getafe

Position 20, 8 points, and every result so far reduced to one line. The second half of the season starts with the same squad and a different set of expectations.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Getafe dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

The dugout

Lucas Espinosa answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑3, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout

Dean Huijsen asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout

Somebody else is better right now than Nemanja Gudelj

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

Squad

Sebastiano Nava stands alone

11 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.

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Ramón Terrats wants continental football; whether Getafe can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Johan Mojica 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.

The terraces

One of their own: Sebastiano Nava

He is 18 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match

The drought breaks for Getafe

5 without a win is the sort of run that changes how a town talks about its club, and Valencia were the afternoon it stopped. Nothing is fixed by one result and everything feels different by one.

Match

Enes Ünal the difference as Getafe beat Valencia

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Enes Ünal. 1‑0 against Valencia, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

The dugout

No hiding place for Djéné Dakonam

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

Player ratings

Mario Martín was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 16. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad

Iván Rojas stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Iván Rojas and Getafe agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Djéné Dakonam raises the bar for Getafe

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Getafe heard it as anything else.

Match

Getafe cannot find the net

3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Market

One of our own: Martín Lozano joins the Getafe first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Martín Lozano is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Getafe promote Héctor Ríos from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Héctor Ríos has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Getafe will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Ramón Terrats wants more than Getafe are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

4 matches without a win for Getafe

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Getafe are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Julián Encinas gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Julián Encinas has just signed for Getafe, and for once the answer mattered.

Market

Zaid Romero wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Match

A bad afternoon for Getafe against Elche

0‑1 to Elche, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

A row about effort at Getafe

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

Squad

Sebastiano Nava gifts one

A goalkeeper’s error has no defender behind it to tidy it away. He knew before the ball crossed the line, the crowd knew a second later, and there is nothing anybody can say tonight.

The dugout

Lucas Espinosa: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑3, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Market

The Ramón Terrats story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Ramón Terrats signs something — a contract at Getafe or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

The dugout

Sebastiano Nava is still paying for one afternoon at Getafe

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

47 days out for Kiko Femenía after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Getafe will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

6 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.

Words at Getafe training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Zaid Romero is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout

Lucas Espinosa answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

A promise honoured for Rubén Rochina

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Getafe told Rubén Rochina something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Match

Getafe out of the cup

Rayo Vallecano ended it 2‑3. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Match

Every point is an argument now for Getafe

Position 20 and 5 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

The dugout

Dean Huijsen: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Getafe have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match

Getafe throw away a 2-goal lead

2 in front and in complete control, and it finished with Rayo Vallecano the happier side. There is no version of this afternoon that Getafe will enjoy reviewing.

Match

Getafe end the wait against Mallorca

It had gone 12 games. The players did not celebrate like men who had won a match; they celebrated like men who had been let out of something.

Player ratings

Néstor Albiach scores twice — 8.81

Two goals and a mark of 8.81 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Match

No clean sheets in sight for Getafe

11 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

Squad

Kiko Femenía breaks a bone — 62 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 62 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The dugout

Enes Ünal says Getafe went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Ramón Terrats

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match

A bad afternoon for Getafe against Betis

0‑2 to Betis, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Words exchanged at Getafe

Marcos Ferreira 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

A row about effort at Getafe

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

Match

10 matches without a win for Getafe

The run now stands at 10, and the questions being asked around Getafe are no longer polite ones.

Squad

A fracture rules Kiko Femenía out for 69 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Getafe will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match

Getafe are shipping goals every week

Two or more conceded in each of the last 10 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

Player ratings

Borja Mayoral scores twice — 8.84

Two goals and a mark of 8.84 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad

Words exchanged at Getafe

Johan Mojica 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.

Market

Ramón Terrats wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Player ratings

Christantus Uche was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 19. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Match

Oviedo snatch it back from Getafe

A goal on 91 minutes turned three points into one and a good afternoon into an argument about game management that will run until Saturday.

Squad

Words at Getafe training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Zaid Romero is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Kiko Femenía breaks a bone — 77 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 77 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match

No end in sight to Getafe's wait for a win

9 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Getafe has to find a result from somewhere.

Player ratings

Borja Mayoral scores twice — 8.89

Two goals and a mark of 8.89 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Match

No clean sheets in sight for Getafe

9 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

Squad

Sebastiano Nava keeps Getafe in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

Tempers go at Getafe

David Soria 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.

Match

Sevilla take the points off Getafe

Beaten 3‑5, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

8 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Getafe and Sevilla in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Martín Satriano at his very best

Marked 8.65. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Getafe.

Sebastiano Nava keeps Getafe in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 10 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match

Nowhere to hide for Getafe

1‑5 against Villarreal, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Match

The wait goes on for Getafe

8 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Match

Getafe leaking at the back

8 matches, two or more conceded in every one of them. Sides that create as much as this can live with it for a while. Nobody lives with it forever.

Squad

Christantus Uche signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Christantus Uche commits to Getafe for another 5 years.

Squad

David Soria 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 Getafe this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Real improvement from Sebastiano Nava at Getafe

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Sebastiano Nava is 18, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Getafe and Villarreal in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Market

Sebastián Boselli has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Getafe can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

A falling-out at Getafe

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

Match

Borja Mayoral’s goal not enough for Getafe

Borja Mayoral scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Osasuna, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Market

Getafe may not be able to give Martín Satriano what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Martín Satriano wants continental football; whether Getafe can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad

A row about effort at Getafe

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

The dugout

Miguel Baeza 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.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑2 Lucas Espinosa left the room before anybody could ask which.

Squad

A step back for Néstor Albiach at Getafe

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

18 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.

Lucas Espinosa faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Lucas Espinosa after 0‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

100 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

Nobody left the Getafe dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

4 matches without a win for Getafe

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Getafe are no longer polite ones.

Market

Ramón Terrats raises the bar for Getafe

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Getafe heard it as anything else.

Match

Getafe are shipping goals every week

Two or more conceded in each of the last 4 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

Market

One of our own: Marcos Lorenzo joins the Getafe first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Marcos Lorenzo is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Ibai Santiago is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Getafe refuse to lose to Levante

A point taken on 90 minutes is worth exactly one point and considerably more than that to a dressing room. This side does not stop, which is a reputation worth more than the result.

Marcos Ferreira 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.

Juanmi 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.

Transfer targets

Getafe baulk at the price for Jorge Moreno

Cádiz wanted more than $3.8M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Boardroom

Deadline passes with 25 signed and 2 gone

That is the business done at Getafe 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.

Squad

Words exchanged at Getafe

Dean Huijsen 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.

Market

Djéné Dakonam raises the bar for Getafe

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Getafe heard it as anything else.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Lucas Agazzi

Getafe asked and Defensor Sporting said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match

A bad afternoon for Getafe against Espanyol

0‑2 to Espanyol, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

No hiding place for Mario Martín

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

Squad

Dean Huijsen is a square peg at Getafe

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

The medical room confirms 43 days on the sidelines for Dean Huijsen, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Market

Getafe sign Marcos Ferreira, one for the future

Marcos Ferreira is 20, and Getafe have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Market

Getafe bring in Dean Huijsen on loan

A season-long audition: Real Madrid still own him, but the shirt and the minutes are Getafe's to give. A loan is a bet both clubs believe they are winning.

Squad

A row about effort at Getafe

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

The dugout

The manager has not finished forgetting Ramón Terrats's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Squad

16 new faces, and Getafe are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

$820.0K settles it between the clubs for Marcos Ferreira

Miramar Misiones have accepted the money. What Getafe do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Transfer targets

Dean Huijsen is a medical away from Getafe

The deal with Real Madrid is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Johan Mojica 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.

Door shut on Izan Merino

Getafe asked and Málaga said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
