The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Miguel Angelo has agreed terms with Oeste for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.
The chase for Yago Santos ended with $160.0K changing hands and America Mineiro out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.
The chase for Pedro ended with $77.0K changing hands and Criciuma out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.
Parana paid $77.0K and Paysandu took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Paysandu have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Paysandu this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at Paysandu training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. André 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.
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Lucca Carvalho trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
JP Galvão 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.

Márcio Júnior 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.

The shrug has gone, the language is coming, and he now argues in training like somebody who expects to be here next year. Half a signing's value is this and none of it appears on a fee.

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Edílson Júnior is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.
In brief
SquadQuestions about Lucca Carvalho on the training pitch
27 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Paysandu lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Beaten 2‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Matheus Vargas provided it, and the 7.82 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.
Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Yeferson Quintana scored, was marked 7.56, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Paysandu this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
48 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.
