Squad

Filippo Caselli damages knee ligaments — 34 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 34 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.

Transfer targets

Anísio Cabral turns down Pro Vercelli

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Benfica keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad

Dean Huiberts 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 Pro Vercelli this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

5 academy graduates step up at Pro Vercelli

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Squad

Words at Pro Vercelli training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Achraf el Bouchataoui 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.

Market

Pro Vercelli promote Angelo Monti from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Angelo Monti has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Mattia Borghi steps up from the Pro Vercelli academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Mattia Borghi has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

Lorenzo Piras steps up from the Pro Vercelli academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Lorenzo Piras has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

One of our own: Daniele Esposito joins the Pro Vercelli first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Daniele Esposito is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Squad

Filippo Caselli damages knee ligaments — 41 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 41 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

Terms done: Ouseynou Sow is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Gubbio waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Pro Vercelli is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Market

Pro Vercelli say no — this time

The offer from Spartak 1918 for Pietro Passador 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

Anísio Cabral due for a Pro Vercelli medical

Everything agreed with Benfica, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad

Tempers go at Pro Vercelli

Dean Huiberts 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.

Squad

Achraf el Bouchataoui 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.
