The numbers do not look good at Oliveirense
Wages have outrun income and the accountants have started attending meetings they used to send apologies to. Ambition comes second in a season like this.

Sporting Cristal tell Oliveirense: Felipe Vizeu 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.

Simão Martins stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Simão Martins and Oliveirense agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Kotaro Nagata wants to go home
“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Oliveirense can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

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

A loan move for Mamadou Tounkara is in the works
Oliveirense have made the call to Chaves. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Oliveirense ask about Tomé Sousa
A loan enquiry to Farense: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

A loan move for Vlad is in the works
Oliveirense have made the call to Pacos de Ferreira. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Talks stall between Oliveirense and Rodrigo Marquês
“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.
In brief
- The dugout Rodrigo Marquês asks for a word with the manager
- Market 49 months and counting on João Sérgio
- Market Joanderson leaves for nothing
