Market

Alexander González 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 Boston River can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Only the photograph left for Facundo Muñoa

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Facundo Muñoa will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Boston River the goodbyes have quietly begun.

The dugout

Federico Dafonte keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Boston River may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Words exchanged at Boston River

José Canale 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 dugout

No hiding place for Agustín Amado

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Agustín Amado, and the manager let it.

The dugout

A promise honoured at Boston River

Something was said to José Canale and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

Squad

Santiago Silva makes the team of the month

Four or five weekends of consistency, measured against everybody else in the division. A quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

The dugout

Francisco Bonfiglio knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Boston River, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

Lucas Castro is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Boston River has been clear about where Lucas Castro stands, which is more than many ever get.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Martín González

39 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Boston River lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

Tailer Cruz is on his way

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Boston River

Jairo O'Neill 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 dugout

Tailer Cruz 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

Emiliano Gómez keeps scoring at Puebla

14 appearances away from home and 4 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

The dugout

The manager makes Juan Ignacio González a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Boston River. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Squad

Martín González damages knee ligaments — 68 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 68 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

Tailer Cruz has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Boston River they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

The dugout

Yair González 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

Words exchanged at Boston River

Bruno Antúnez 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.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Boston River

15 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout

Juan Acosta asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
