Squad

Ricardo Ryller in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Oeste this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Gilberto

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Devan Tanton signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Devan Tanton and Oeste agree another 4 years.

Squad

Bryam knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Oeste, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

36 months and counting on Lucas Alvim

Still no offer on the table, and Lucas Alvim’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Market

Oeste shop where it costs nothing

Devan Tanton signs, and the fee column stays empty. Deals like this look small in July and clever by March — or they are never mentioned again.

Market

Gabriel Santos 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 The request is on a desk at Oeste, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Oeste count the cost of losing Bryam

113 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

Ricardo Ryller in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Oeste this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

125% of the income goes out in wages at Oeste

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Squad

Jackson signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jackson commits to Oeste for another 3 years.

Market

Still no ink between Oeste and Gilberto

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Oeste, another week without a signature from Gilberto.
