Squad

Ezequiel Busquets says Montevideo City Torque went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market

Rodrigo Sena is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Montevideo City Torque is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Loan watch

Fernando Formoso wants to come home

“I did not go to IMT to sit and watch. I want to come back to Montevideo City Torque and fight for my place.” 4 appearances in 9 matches say the rest.

Montevideo City Torque come up short against Audax Italiano

Audax Italiano left with the points after a 1-2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Franco Pizzichillo

“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

Esteban Obregón is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.44 with 5 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Match

Montevideo City Torque up to position 2

51 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Squad

3 goals for Esteban Obregón

The match ball belongs to Esteban Obregón, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Market

Luka Andrade has one foot out of the door

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

Match

Still nobody has beaten Montevideo City Torque

The unbeaten run reaches 8. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad

At 21, Diogo Guzmán is already the best thing here

An average of 7.16 in a first team he is several years too young for. Montevideo City Torque have something, and by now the whole division has noticed.

Match

Montevideo City Torque see off Sporting Cristal

Three points for Montevideo City Torque, 3-2 the final word against Sporting Cristal in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

Franco Romero says Montevideo City Torque went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Denis Bouanga is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.43 with 15 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Market

Rodrigo Sena is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Montevideo City Torque is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Match

7 unbeaten for Montevideo City Torque

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 7 matches without defeat is a foundation Montevideo City Torque did not have in the autumn.

Match

Montevideo City Torque get the job done against Defensor Sporting

A 2-0 win over Defensor Sporting, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Boardroom

$2.0M on the table at Montevideo City Torque

The board have answered with money instead of encouragement, which is the only answer a manager ever wants. Spending it well is now entirely his problem.

Loan watch

Nahuel da Silva is tired of being somebody else's player

“Another season, another badge, another dressing room to win over. I would like one pre-season at Montevideo City Torque where somebody actually looks at me.” He belongs to Gaziantep until the spell ends; the argument is with the club that owns him.

Squad

Ignacio Gonella left out for the big one

A player who expected to start watched it instead. The manager will call it a decision for the team; Ignacio Gonella will call it something else in private.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Eduardo Agüero

“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.

Position 3 and 29 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

The fee is $240.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Artigas drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

A 2-1 win over Miramar Misiones, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Market

Ignacio Molina attracts admirers

The name of Ignacio Molina has come up in conversations Montevideo City Torque were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Marcelo Tabárez

“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

Bautista Kociubinski 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.
