There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Kevin Laimer has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
6 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.
Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Niklas Hedl is on it.

The deal that would have taken Yusuf Demir to Grodig has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Rapid Wien with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Rapid Wien close the window on a squad of their own making
5 in and 2 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Rapid Wien this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
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.
The phone has started ringing about Nicolas Bajlicz again, and this time the name on the line is Altach. Rapid Wien are listening politely and promising nothing.
“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Rapid Wien are dealing with a man who wants a different country.
Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Grodig waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Rapid Wien is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.
The name of Nikolaus Wurmbrand has come up in conversations Rapid Wien were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.
17 goals in 20 games at Shrewsbury Town — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Rapid Wien updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Rapid Wien have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
The deal with Wolfsberger AC 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.
Matthias Seidl 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.

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Lokomotiv Moscow have kept their man, and Rapid Wien go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
“I did not go to Plymouth Argyle to sit and watch. I want to come back to Rapid Wien and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 21 matches say the rest.
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.
The offer from Grodig for Louis Schaub 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.
Rapid Wien had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Sturm Graz, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.
He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Heinz Grillitsch is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
“I watch every Rapid Wien game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at CSKA 1948 runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.
A loan enquiry to Lokomotiv Moscow: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.
The offer from Altach for Yusuf Demir 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.
There are footballers who have a good season and footballers a season is remembered for, and the second kind get their names read out in a hall in the summer. Rapid Wien will be quietly delighted and privately nervous.
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.

Claudy M'Buyi wins it after the whistle should have gone
102 minutes played. Claudy M'Buyi found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and SV Ried went from a point to nothing inside one movement.
Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Bakary Haïdara has just signed for Rapid Wien, and for once the answer mattered.

8.02. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.
A point taken on 89 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.
7 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Rapid Wien will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.
