Squad18 Jan 2027

50 days out for Emanuel Beltrán after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Colón will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

The dugout18 Jan 2027

Franco García keeps the receipts

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

Market18 Jan 2027

Lucas Cuffia has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Colón they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Tempers go at Colón

Matías Budiño 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.

Squad18 Jan 2027

A row about effort at Colón

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

The dugout18 Jan 2027

No hiding place for Matías Budiño

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

The dugout18 Jan 2027

Ezequiel Vega asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout18 Jan 2027

Nehemías Portillo 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 Nehemías Portillo is on it.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Iván Barbona wants out of the dugout

“I did not sign to watch. Nobody does.” The oldest complaint in the game, and Colón will have to answer it with minutes or with a move.

Market11 Jan 2027

Terms done: Iván Ojeda is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Chacarita Juniors waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Colón is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

The dugout11 Jan 2027

Agustín Toledo: 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.” Colón have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Words exchanged at Colón

Matías Budiño and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Federico Rasmussen 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.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Colón lose Julián Silva

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

The dugout11 Jan 2027

Iván Barbona 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.

The dugout11 Jan 2027

Iván Barbona has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Colón 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.

Market11 Jan 2027

Nobody at Colón has picked up the phone to Jorge Sanguina

48 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Market11 Jan 2027

Talks stall between Colón and Lucas Cuffia

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market4 Jan 2027

Lucas Cuffia has said yes to Defensores Unidos

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Colón have lost him in all but the paperwork.

The dugout4 Jan 2027

Jorge Sanguina says Colón 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.

Market4 Jan 2027

So close: Jorge Sanguina’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Banfield moved on, Jorge Sanguina reports back to Colón, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Squad4 Jan 2027

A falling-out at Colón

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

Squad4 Jan 2027

Words at Colón training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ezequiel Vega 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.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Jorge Sanguina signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Jorge Sanguina and Colón agree another 4 years.

The dugout4 Jan 2027

No hiding place for Ignacio Lago

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

Squad4 Jan 2027

Leandro Allende is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Leandro Allende has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

The dugout4 Jan 2027

Matías Budiño 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 Colón, and both men came out saying it was fine.
