Transfer targets

Oswaldo Virgen will not be coming to Académico de Viseu

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Toluca is saying, and nobody at Académico de Viseu is enjoying the guessing.

Squad

Tempers go at Académico de Viseu

André Clovis 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.

Transfer targets

Académico de Viseu bid $100.0K for João Capucho

The offer went to Benfica this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Transfer targets

An offer of $100.0K for Gonçalo Maia

Académico de Viseu have gone to Gil Vicente 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.

Boardroom

1 academy graduates step up at Académico de Viseu

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Market

Rafael Martins steps up from the Académico de Viseu academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Rafael Martins 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.

Match

André Clovis the difference as Académico de Viseu beat Sporting CP B

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: André Clovis. 1‑0 against Sporting CP B, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

A row about effort at Académico de Viseu

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

Squad

The formation has left Rômulo behind

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

Market

Académico de Viseu turn down Leiria for André Clovis

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

Transfer targets

No thanks: Matías Arezo rejects the move

Académico de Viseu had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Penarol, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad

Mohammed Bouldini signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Mohammed Bouldini commits to Académico de Viseu for another 3 years.

Market

Académico de Viseu sell Hugo Gambor for $1.1M

Hugo Gambor has left for Sporting CP in a $1.1M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad

A falling-out at Académico de Viseu

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

Market

Académico de Viseu promote Jose Fonseca from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Jose Fonseca 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.

Market

Paulo Santos steps up from the Académico de Viseu academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Paulo Santos 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Nikos Michelis

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

Squad

Académico de Viseu are still strangers to each other

8 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.

Transfer targets

An offer of $1.6M for Oswaldo Virgen

Académico de Viseu have gone to Toluca 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.

Squad

Pedro Barcelos makes the wrong kind of headline

Dealt with internally, which is the phrase a club uses when it would rather nobody asked twice. He will be fined, he will apologise, and he will play on Saturday.

Squad

Juan Soriano stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Juan Soriano and Académico de Viseu agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Words exchanged at Académico de Viseu

André Clovis 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

Words at Académico de Viseu training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Juan Soriano 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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Gui Negão

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

Market

Nobody at Académico de Viseu has picked up the phone to Juan Soriano

49 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Matías Arezo is in the works

Académico de Viseu have made the call to Penarol. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

The dugout

Mohammed Bouldini 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.
