The Oliveirense Courier

Boardroom

The numbers do not look good at Oliveirense

Wages have outrun income and the accountants have started attending meetings they used to send apologies to. Ambition comes second in a season like this.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Douglas Baggio

Oliveirense asked and CRB 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

Simão Martins stays put

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

Squad

Kotaro Nagata wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Oliveirense can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Squad

A row about effort at Oliveirense

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

Transfer targets

Oliveirense try to borrow Andrey

Mafra have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Silas Bjerre is in the works

Oliveirense have made the call to Torreense. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Market

Talks stall between Oliveirense and Rodrigo Marquês

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

The dugout

Rodrigo Marquês 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.

The Torreense Post

From our football correspondent Steady

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.

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.

Squad

A row about effort at Torreense

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

Market

Oliveirense watching Silas Bjerre

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Torreense have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

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.

Squad

Stopira calls time on his country

“59 caps was 59 more than the boy who started ever expected.” At 38 he has stepped away from the national side and has not stepped away from Torreense.

Market

Torreense and Stopira are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.
