Squad

Lukas Fredes: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Santiago Wanderers have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Santiago Wanderers lose Cristóbal Cáceres

14 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Gabriel Castillo

“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.

Market

Lukas Fredes is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Santiago Wanderers is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Gabriel Castillo 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.

Market

Santiago Wanderers and Enzo Romero 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.

Squad

Pedro Navarro says Santiago Wanderers 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.

Match

No end in sight to Santiago Wanderers's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Santiago Wanderers has to find a result from somewhere.

Match

14 unbeaten for Santiago Wanderers

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 14 matches without defeat is a foundation Santiago Wanderers did not have in the autumn.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Sergio Felipe

“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

Lukas Fredes signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Lukas Fredes commits to Santiago Wanderers for another 4 years.

Match

Santiago Wanderers and Iquique take a point apiece

It finished 2-2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Squad

Nicolás Castillo 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 Santiago Wanderers, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Match

12 unbeaten for Santiago Wanderers

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 12 matches without defeat is a foundation Santiago Wanderers did not have in the autumn.

Match

Santiago Wanderers are in among the leaders

Position 3 and 34 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Boardroom

Santiago Wanderers release $2.0M for the manager

The board have put money on the table rather than an encouraging word. What happens to it now is somebody else's problem, and somebody else's job.

Market

Union Espanola expected to open talks for Lukas Fredes

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

Squad

The manager makes an example of Enzo Romero

“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

Sergio Felipe has to sit this one out

A booking nobody needed, on a night the game was already won. Santiago Wanderers lose a player for the most avoidable reason there is.

Match

10 unbeaten for Santiago Wanderers

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 10 matches without defeat is a foundation Santiago Wanderers did not have in the autumn.

Squad

Raúl Olivares keeps Santiago Wanderers in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

Ricardo Parra: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Santiago Wanderers have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Juan Figueroa is a Santiago Wanderers player

The fee is $150.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Huachipato drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Javier Parraguez

“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.

Match

Santiago Wanderers and Universidad de Chile take a point apiece

It finished 1-1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.
