Market

Lucca Carvalho asks to leave Paysandu

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Tempers go at Paysandu

JP Galvão 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.

Boardroom

Paysandu agree a free transfer for Bernardo Valim

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Squad

Words at Paysandu training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. André 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.

Squad

Jeremías Ulla signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jeremías Ulla commits to Paysandu for another 4 years.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Paysandu

5 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Boardroom

Paysandu are going up

Promotion, confirmed and mathematical, and a town that will not sleep much tonight. Whatever else this season had in it, it ends a division higher than it began.

Squad

Jean Drosny breaks a bone — 43 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 43 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Paysandu turn down Grêmio for Matheus Vargas

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Business is business: Miguel Angelo goes

Parana paid $77.0K and Paysandu took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Squad

Jackson stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Jackson and Paysandu agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Words at Paysandu training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Arthur Monteiro 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.

Squad

A fracture rules Jean Drosny out for 90 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Paysandu will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Castro knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Paysandu, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

The manager comes out for Gabriel Mesquita

Public backing, and the sort that costs a manager something if it turns out to be wrong. Gabriel Mesquita has been told in front of everybody that the shirt is his.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Jean Drosny breaks a bone — 112 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 112 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Lucca Carvalho says Paysandu 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

Tempers go at Paysandu

Márcio Júnior 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.
