Squad

Cristian Sención damages knee ligaments — 48 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 48 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market

Luciano 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 Paysandu can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Leon Šipoš rejects the move

Paysandu had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Reggiana, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad

A falling-out at Paysandu

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

Transfer targets

Too dear: Paysandu walk away from Lira

$20.0K was the most the club would pay and Criciuma were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Transfer targets

San Miguel tell Paysandu: Tomás Jerez is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Words at Paysandu training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Murilo 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.

Transfer targets

Paysandu ask about Hassan Vergara

A loan enquiry to Deportivo Pasto: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Squad

A step back for Malcoon at Paysandu

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

Squad

Cristian Sención damages knee ligaments — 69 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 69 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

Words exchanged at Paysandu

Samuel Santos 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.

Transfer targets

An offer of $50.0K for Tete

Paysandu have gone to Sport Recife with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Transfer targets

Paysandu make their move for Lira

$19.0K on the table at Criciuma. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Tobías Figueroa

Paysandu asked and Albion said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

Eyes on Caio Mello again

The phone has started ringing about Caio Mello again, and this time the name on the line is Sampaio Correa. Paysandu are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

Murilo 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

No place for Murilo in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Paysandu are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Market

A long bet from Paysandu on Murilo

He is 20, and nobody at Paysandu signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
