Market

Marvin Elimbi 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 Gil Vicente can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Gil Vicente turn down Porto for Zé Carlos

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

Market

André Picornell agrees terms with Santa Clara

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

Boardroom

Deadline passes with 10 signed and 15 gone

That is the business done at Gil Vicente 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.

Market

The Vitoria Guimaraes deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Weverson reports back to Gil Vicente with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Squad

Words exchanged at Gil Vicente

Murilo Souza 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

No deal for Kaíque Rocha at that price

Gil Vicente offered $400.0K; Casa Pia said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Gianluca Prestianni

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

Squad

Ricardo Esgaio slips down the pecking order

The demotion a club never announces and a dressing room always notices. Ricardo Esgaio is further from the side than he was, and the reason will not be given until he asks.

Match

Gil Vicente tear Nacional apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 4‑1 against Nacional, and it could have been more.

Market

Jonathan Buatu 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 The request is on a desk at Gil Vicente, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Terms done: Antonio Espigares is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Ibiza waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Gil Vicente is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Squad

A day Sergio Bermejo 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.

Market

Weverson says no to Amora

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Weverson had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Market

Gil Vicente turn down Amora for Mohamed Kaba

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

Boardroom

Gil Vicente go back to the board over Kaíque Rocha

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $411.6K — a club that wants Kaíque Rocha enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets

Gil Vicente bid $400.0K for Kaíque Rocha

The offer went to Casa Pia 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

Gil Vicente bid $290.0K for Ni Rodrigues

The offer went to Estrela da Amadora 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

Gil Vicente make their move for Nehuén Pérez

$13.0M on the table at Porto. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Market

Not going: Carlos Eduardo stays at Gil Vicente

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” CSKA 1948 had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Squad

A move Zé Welison would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Zé Welison is living that version at Gil Vicente, and it tends to show in the first month.

Market

Santa Clara come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Gil Vicente did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Boardroom

Gil Vicente go back to the board over Nehuén Pérez

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $14.0M — a club that wants Nehuén Pérez enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Gui Negão

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Gil Vicente have done the hard part with Corinthians, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad

Santi García signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Santi García and Gil Vicente agree another 4 years.

Squad

A falling-out at Gil Vicente

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

Market

The Santi García conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Nacional will make the call about Santi García this week. Gil Vicente have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.
