Market

Agustín de Armas says no to Los Halcones

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Agustín de Armas had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Market

Only the photograph left for Faustino Choca

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Faustino Choca will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Colon the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Tempers go at Colon

Leandro Méndez 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

Colon lose Agustín Chopitea

18 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad

A row about effort at Colon

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

The dugout

When it matters, Lucas Espinosa plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market

Agustín Chopitea puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Colon, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Terms done: Agustín de Armas is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Los Halcones waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Colon is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

The terraces

Supporters turn on the $500.0K sale of Faustino Fernández

He is going to River Plate, the club has $500.0K it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Transfer targets

Marcos Ferreira turns down Colon

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

Squad

A falling-out at Colon

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

Market

Faustino Fernández moves on

River Plate pay $500.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Market

Leison Cuero moves on

Montevideo City Torque pay $230.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Boardroom

181% of the income goes out in wages at Colon

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Squad

A row about effort at Colon

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

Market

Colon say no — this time

The offer from Progreso for Leandro Méndez 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.

Market

Jonathan Ríos says no to Platense

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Jonathan Ríos had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Market

Renzo Lescano 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 Colon can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Nahuel Leivas

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Colon have done the hard part with Montevideo City Torque, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad

Tempers go at Colon

Leandro Méndez 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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Francisco Martinicorena

Colon asked and Uruguay Montevideo said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

Colon sell Bautista Cabrera for $21.0K

Bautista Cabrera has left for Artigas in a $21.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad

Words at Colon training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Agustín de Armas 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.

The dugout

Lucas Espinosa has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Colon will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad

A falling-out at Colon

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

Squad

Agustín Chopitea 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.

Squad

19 new faces, and Colon are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Squad

Agustín Olavarría named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Agustín Olavarría is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

The dugout

Jonathan Ríos gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Jonathan Ríos is on it.

Market

Talks stall between Colon and Cristian Britos

“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.
