Market

Alexis Martínez is on his way

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Almirante Brown

Leonardo Jara 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.

Market

The Gudja United deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Joaquín Santos reports back to Almirante Brown with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Squad

Franco Almanza signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Franco Almanza and Almirante Brown agree another 4 years.

Squad

Agustín Dattola 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.

The dugout

Santiago Gauna 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.

Loan watch

Bruno Miño has seen enough of Estoril Praia

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Almirante Brown, and 0 appearances in 0 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

Matías Noble is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Matías Noble has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

Market

Talks stall between Almirante Brown and Santiago Gauna

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market

Joaquín Santos agrees terms with Gudja United

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Almirante Brown people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market

Almirante Brown say no — this time

The offer from SuperSport United for Bruno Miño 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.

Boardroom

Alexis Martínez signs for Defensa y Justicia while still at Almirante Brown

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Alexis Martínez has agreed terms with Defensa y Justicia for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Market

Tobías Quinteros is on his way

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

Squad

A falling-out at Almirante Brown

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

Market

Fernando Rodríguez wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Match

A bad afternoon for Almirante Brown against Temperley

0‑2 to Temperley, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Ramón González

“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.

Squad

A row about effort at Almirante Brown

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