Squad

94 days out for Ederson Moreno after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Deportivo Pereira will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market

Miguel Aguirre is on his way

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

Squad

Yuber Quiñónes signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Yuber Quiñónes commits to Deportivo Pereira for another 4 years.

Squad

The step up is real for Andrés Calderón

At 18 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Transfer targets

Deportivo Pereira rebuffed over Enmanuel Moreno

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Caracas have kept their man, and Deportivo Pereira go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The dugout

Yuber Quiñónes 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 Deportivo Pereira

Santiago Mosquera 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

Sebastián Acosta 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 Sebastián Acosta is on it.

The dugout

Felipe Mosquera 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 Deportivo Pereira, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Juan Camilo Morales

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

Market

Marcus Vinicius 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 Deportivo Pereira can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Eber Moreno is on his way

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

The dugout

Felipe Mosquera: 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.” Deportivo Pereira have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Words at Deportivo Pereira training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marcus Vinicius 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Deportivo Pereira

Santiago Mosquera 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

6 new faces, and Deportivo Pereira 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.

The dugout

Sebastián Acosta has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Deportivo Pereira 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.

Market

The Alejandro Piedrahita talk will not go away

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

Market

Eber Moreno 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 Deportivo Pereira can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout

Santiago Aguilar says Deportivo Pereira went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Marcus Vinicius 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

A falling-out at Deportivo Pereira

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

The dugout

When it matters, Yimy Gómez 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.

The dugout

Eber Moreno 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 Deportivo Pereira, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

The Marcus Vinicius question follows Deportivo Pereira around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Marcus Vinicius’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Market

The clock does Eber Moreno’s negotiating for him

2 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee Deportivo Pereira could ask drops and the wages Eber Moreno can ask rise.

Squad

“I want to play”: Javier Mena speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.
