Marked for Miguel Lima

Squad28 Aug 2028

The knee: Miguel Lima out for 24 days

24 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Académica lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

The dugout28 Aug 2028

Jakob Tånnander keeps the receipts

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

Player ratings28 Aug 2028

Nobody could get near Rico Richards

Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market28 Aug 2028

Gerónimo Miranda 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 Académica can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets28 Aug 2028

Too dear: Académica walk away from Jelani Trevisan

$1.0M was the most the club would pay and Maritimo were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Boardroom28 Aug 2028

Académica go back to the board over Douglas Telles

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $75.0K — a club that wants Douglas Telles enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets28 Aug 2028

An offer of $410.0K for Rafa

Académica have gone to Benfica with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad28 Aug 2028

Flávio Ramos 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 Académica this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets28 Aug 2028

Académica make their move for Douglas Telles

$74.0K on the table at Trofense. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad21 Aug 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for Miguel Lima

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

Market21 Aug 2028

Rúben Fonseca has said yes to Mafra

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Académica have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Player ratings21 Aug 2028

Rico Richards was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 26. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Transfer targets21 Aug 2028

Académica bid $1.2M for Flávio Gonçalves

The offer went to Sporting CP this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Transfer targets21 Aug 2028

Académica baulk at the price for Flávio Gonçalves

Sporting CP wanted more than $1.2M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Squad21 Aug 2028

A falling-out at Académica

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

Transfer targets21 Aug 2028

Door shut on Diego Arce

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

Squad21 Aug 2028

A row about effort at Académica

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

Match19 Aug 2028

The goals have deserted Académica

3 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Académica can tell you which week it ends in.

In brief

  • The terraces The crowd has taken to Gustavo Henrique
  • The dugout The manager makes an example of Evandro
  • Squad 10 new faces, and Académica are still learning each other

Squad14 Aug 2028

Miguel Lima damages knee ligaments — 39 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 39 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.

Market14 Aug 2028

Nuno Rodrigues 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 Académica can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout14 Aug 2028

Evandro: 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.” Académica have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Transfer targets14 Aug 2028

An offer of $1.0M for Jelani Trevisan

Académica have gone to Maritimo with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Market14 Aug 2028

Rúben Fonseca has one foot out of the door

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

Boardroom14 Aug 2028

Académica go back to the board over Jelani Trevisan

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $1.1M — a club that wants Jelani Trevisan enough to be asked twice.

Market14 Aug 2028

Académica get their man

The chase for Diego Arce ended with $210.0K changing hands and Amora out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Squad14 Aug 2028

Words exchanged at Académica

Flávio Ramos 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.

Market14 Aug 2028

Henrique Martins comes home

The shirt still fits. Henrique Martins is back at Académica, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

In brief
