Joe Arreche: 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.” Colon have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
Squad27 Nov 2028

Tempers go at Colon

“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 Colon, and 4 appearances in 46 say he has earned the hearing.

Colon up to position 2
45 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Colon can pretend not to have heard.

Colon are in among the leaders
Position 2 and 45 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.
Market18 Sep 2028
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.
Squad18 Sep 2028
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Colon may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

The manager makes an example of Joaquín Núñez
“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.

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Colon know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
