Market

André Simões 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 The request is on a desk at Torreense, and it is not being withdrawn.

Boardroom

Deadline passes with 19 signed and 21 gone

That is the business done at Torreense 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Manu Pozo

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

4 matches without a win for Torreense

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Torreense are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Words at Torreense training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Juan María Alcedo 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 Luke Plange

Torreense asked and Grasshopper 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

Tempers go at Torreense

Stopira 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.

Match

Vizela take the points off Torreense

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Costinha

“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.

Transfer targets

Kaíque Rocha due for a Torreense medical

Everything agreed with Casa Pia, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad

Manu Pozo stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Manu Pozo and Torreense agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Torreense

Adriel 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

Door shut on Vinícius Lopes

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

One of our own: Luis Monteiro joins the Torreense first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Luis Monteiro is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Rodrigo Miranda steps up from the Torreense academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Rodrigo Miranda 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.

Market

Andre Soares steps up from the Torreense academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Andre Soares 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.

Diogo Pereira steps up from the Torreense academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Diogo Pereira 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.

Squad

A row about effort at Torreense

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

Squad

Adriel signs on for more

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

Squad

Adriel 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 Torreense this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Luis Quintero has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Torreense can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Squad

Juan María Alcedo 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.

Transfer targets

Torreense rebuffed over Yael Trepy

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Cagliari have kept their man, and Torreense go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market

49 months and counting on Javi Vázquez

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

In brief
