Squad

Tetê 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Grêmio

Talys 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Tomás Migliore

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

Market

Hamdi Akujobi has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Grêmio they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Ronald: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Grêmio have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Boardroom

Grêmio to lose Iba Ly for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Iba Ly has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad

Words at Grêmio training over how hard people work

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

Boardroom

Larson will join Grêmio for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Larson has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Grêmio have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Squad

Talys 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 Grêmio this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

No hiding place for Sandry

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

Market

The Juan Ignacio Nardoni story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Juan Ignacio Nardoni signs something — a contract at Grêmio or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Market

Grêmio shop where it costs nothing

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