Market

Javier Méndez hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Colo-Colo can pretend not to have heard.

Match

6 unbeaten for Colo-Colo

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 6 matches without defeat is a foundation Colo-Colo did not have in the autumn.

Match

Colo-Colo see off Universidad de Concepcion

Three points for Colo-Colo, 1-0 the final word against Universidad de Concepcion in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Germán Conti

“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

Facundo Mera out for 14 days

The medical room confirms 14 days on the sidelines for Facundo Mera, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Market

Huachipato expected to open talks for Pedro Navarro

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Colo-Colo will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Squad

Santino Giacopetti finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Colo-Colo have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

Squad

Claudio Aquino has company in his position

The competition arrived without a word said to him about it. Claudio Aquino keeps the shirt for now, at Colo-Colo's convenience rather than his own.

Market

Colo-Colo bring in Raphael Veiga on loan

A season-long audition: Palmeiras still own him, but the shirt and the minutes are Colo-Colo's to give. A loan is a bet both clubs believe they are winning.

Squad

Andrey Domotsev says Colo-Colo 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

Eduardo Villanueva hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Colo-Colo can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Martin Carreño is a Colo-Colo player

The fee is $980.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. San Luis drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Market

Sebastián Parada is a Colo-Colo player

The fee is $710.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. San Luis drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Market

Colo-Colo turn down Iquique for Julio Fierro

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

Match

Iquique take the points off Colo-Colo

Beaten 2-3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Marco Bolados signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Marco Bolados commits to Colo-Colo for another 2 years.

Squad

Jonathan Villagra gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Colo-Colo dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Squad

At 20, Vicente Martínez is already the best thing here

An average of 6.57 in a first team he is several years too young for. Colo-Colo have something, and by now the whole division has noticed.

Squad

Brayan Cortés gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

Colo-Colo come up short against Union La Calera

Union La Calera left with the points after a 0-2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Facundo Mera out for 65 days

The medical room confirms 65 days on the sidelines for Facundo Mera, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Colo-Colo dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Market

Santiago Wanderers expected to open talks for Ángel Díaz

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Colo-Colo will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.
