From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

The knee: Geovane out for 31 days

31 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Paysandu lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad

Tempers go at Paysandu

JP Galvão 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.

The dugout

Denzel 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.

Squad

Caio Quiroga signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Caio Quiroga and Paysandu agree another 2 years.

Boardroom

$3.5M on the table at Paysandu

The board have answered with money instead of encouragement, which is the only answer a manager ever wants. Spending it well is now entirely his problem.

Squad

A row about effort at Paysandu

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

Market

Nobody at Paysandu has picked up the phone to Caio Quiroga

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

The dugout

Gabriel Mesquita has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Gabriel Mesquita has written the date down.

Market

Paysandu pick up Caio Quiroga for nothing

The best deals are the ones the accountants never notice. Caio Quiroga arrives at Paysandu with his wages the only cost and something to prove the only clause.

In brief
