From our football correspondent Uneasy

The dugout

Jeremías Gallard keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Talleres may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Ulises Ortegoza 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.

Squad

A falling-out at Talleres

Mateo Cáceres and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market

No place for José Luis Palomino in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” José Luis Palomino has his answer from Talleres; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

The dugout

No hiding place for Luis Miguel Ángulo

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Luis Miguel Ángulo, and the manager let it.

The dugout

Franco Cristaldo knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Franco Cristaldo trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

The dugout

Diego Valoyes gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Diego Valoyes is on it.

Looking ahead

Matías Catalán faces his old club

San Lorenzo next, and one man in the Talleres dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Squad

Rodrigo Guth: “I am not a substitute”

“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one Talleres will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

From our football correspondent Steady

Market

Matías Catalán 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 Talleres can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Talleres say no — this time

The offer from Union Espanola for Rodrigo Guth was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Tempers go at Talleres

Augusto Schott 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.

Squad

Valentín Culasso is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Market

Eyes on Valentín Fascendini again

The phone has started ringing about Valentín Fascendini again, and this time the name on the line is Cerro Largo. Talleres are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

A row about effort at Talleres

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

Transfer targets

Talleres rebuffed over Facundo Cambeses

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

The dugout

Diego Valoyes has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Talleres will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market

Valentín Depietri placed on the list

Talleres have made Valentín Depietri available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.
