Market

Catanzaro buy the years ahead of Andrea Cogoni

He is 20, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Boardroom

Catanzaro say no to the training-ground money

The plan went upstairs and came back down. Nothing about that will make a headline anywhere else, and everybody who works at the training ground will remember it for years.

Looking ahead

Marco D'Alessandro goes back to face Pisa

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Marco D'Alessandro’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Catanzaro needing him to play as if none of it matters.

Squad

Mehdi Dorval has company in his position

The competition arrived without a word said to him about it. Mehdi Dorval keeps the shirt for now, at Catanzaro's convenience rather than his own.

Market

Federico Di Francesco linked with a move away

The name of Federico Di Francesco keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Catanzaro say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad

A season on the outside for Solomon Loubao

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Catanzaro has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

Market

Luciano Pereyra joins Eibar on loan for regular minutes

Eibar did not take him to make up a number: they want him playing. For Luciano Pereyra that is worth more than another season of watching from Catanzaro's bench, and everyone involved has said so out loud.

Looking ahead

Catanzaro host Pisa

Next up at home: Pisa, who go into it in position 17. The kind of fixture a season is quietly built on or quietly loses its shape in.

Squad

A senior pro takes Jacopo Petriccione under his wing

It gets no coverage and decides more signings than any coaching session does: somebody older has started staying behind with him, and it is beginning to show.

Transfer targets

Justin-Noël Kalumba will not be coming to Cosenza

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Mallorca is saying, and nobody at Cosenza is enjoying the guessing.

Squad

Tempers go at Cosenza

Paolo Dametto 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.

Market

Cosenza sell Andrea Cogoni for $290.0K

Andrea Cogoni has left for Catanzaro in a $290.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Boardroom

5 academy graduates step up at Cosenza

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Market

Luciano Caprioli steps up from the Cosenza academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Luciano Caprioli 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

Franco Piras steps up from the Cosenza academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Franco Piras 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

Cosenza promote Valerio Caruso from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Valerio Caruso has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Squad

Alessandro Dalmazzi 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

Cosenza try to borrow Mathys De Carvalho

Olympique Lyonnais 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.

The terraces

A $1.0M sale, and a town that did not want it

Baldovino Cimino has gone, the accounts have $1.0M in them, and the supporters have the feeling of having been sold something themselves. Good business and a good decision are not always the same thing.

Transfer targets

Davinchi is a medical away from Cosenza

The deal with Alavés is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Market

Business is business: Baldovino Cimino goes

Spezia paid $1.0M and Cosenza took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Transfer targets

Cosenza rebuffed over Bahmed Deuff

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

Squad

Antonio Ferrara 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 Cosenza this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Mickaël Nanizayamo has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Cosenza know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Squad

Mickaël Nanizayamo still has not settled

A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at Cosenza would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.

Squad

Somebody is after Paolo Dametto’s shirt

A new face in his position, and Paolo Dametto suddenly has to win back what he thought he owned. Cosenza have promised nothing — clubs rarely do at this stage.

Market

Cosenza and Răzvan Paşcalău 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.
