Market

Rodrigo Alves has said yes to Retrô

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

Market

Vélez come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Central did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Thiago Borges puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Central, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

Tiago Pacheco: 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.” Central have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Boardroom

Central go back to the board over Alan

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $44.5K — a club that wants Alan enough to be asked twice.

Squad

Caio Souza is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 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.

Squad

A falling-out at Central

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

Transfer targets

Central bid $41.0K for Alan

The offer went to Volta Redonda this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Market

Urartu join the queue for Danilo Xavier

Add another name to the list: Urartu have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Danilo Xavier. The answer from Central has not changed — yet.

Market

Daniel Tavares has said yes to Luverdense

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

Market

Rodrigo is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Central is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Market

Central say no — this time

The offer from Maracanã for Danilo Batista 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.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Igor Felisberto

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Central have done the hard part with Sport Recife, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad

Bruno Tavares in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Central this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

GAS watching Luís Pacheco

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Central have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Lucas Yan is in the works

Central have made the call to Santos. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Squad

5 new faces, and Central are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Squad

The formation has left Diego Anjos behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Central will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.
