Terms done: Edgaras Dubickas is going
Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Vicenza waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Ternana is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Ternana turn down Carrarese for Vladislav Nahrudnyy
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Words exchanged at Ternana
Marco Garetto 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.

The step up is real for Massimo Turella
At 19 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

The manager makes an example of Gianni Manfrin
“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.

Mattia Proietti is free to find somewhere else
“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Ternana has been clear about where Mattia Proietti stands, which is more than many ever get.

Enrico Brignola 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 Enrico Brignola trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
In brief
- The dugout When it matters, Mattia Proietti plays
- The dugout Edgaras Dubickas has been promised minutes
- Market Marco Salvatore leaves for nothing
