Market

Gabriel Chocobar has one foot out of the door

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

Squad

Words at Oriental training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Christian Paiva 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.

The dugout

When it matters, Julio Caballero plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market

Enzo Vlaeminch runs his contract down

2 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Oriental money.

Squad

The penny has dropped for Federico Marín

He looks like a man who lives here now rather than one who is working here. It took most of a season, and at Oriental the difference is visible from the back of the stand.

Squad

The training reports on Adriel da Silva are not good

A bad Saturday is forgiven; a bad Tuesday is chosen. Standards have slipped and in a building where everybody watches everybody, it has been noticed.

Squad

A falling-out at Oriental

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

Squad

Christian Paiva 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

Federico Sardella signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Federico Sardella commits to Oriental for another 2 years.

Boardroom

Wages eat 105% of everything Oriental earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad

Federico Sardella is a square peg at Oriental

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

The dugout

Nicolás Kozlovsky 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.
