Squad11 Dec 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for Gerardo Díaz

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

Market11 Dec 2028

Terms done: Thomas Romero is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Independiente Rivadavia waiting with a shirt. Nobody at San Martín SJ is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Transfer targets11 Dec 2028

San Martín SJ rebuffed over Jaminton Campaz

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Rosario Central have kept their man, and San Martín SJ go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market11 Dec 2028

Thomas Romero 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 The request is on a desk at San Martín SJ, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets11 Dec 2028

Agustín Ayala will not be coming to San Martín SJ

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Gimnasia La Plata is saying, and nobody at San Martín SJ is enjoying the guessing.

Squad11 Dec 2028

Tempers go at San Martín SJ

Matías Borgogno 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.

Squad11 Dec 2028

A row about effort at San Martín SJ

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

Boardroom11 Dec 2028

Nazareno Cappello will join San Martín SJ for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Nazareno Cappello has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means San Martín SJ have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Market11 Dec 2028

Central Córdoba SdE are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. San Martín SJ will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Squad4 Dec 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for Gerardo Díaz

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

Market4 Dec 2028

Lautaro Garzón 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 San Martín SJ can pretend not to have heard.

Squad4 Dec 2028

Matías Borgogno 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 San Martín SJ this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad4 Dec 2028

Words at San Martín SJ training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nicolás Paz 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 dugout4 Dec 2028

The manager makes an example of Maximiliano Coronel

“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.

The dugout4 Dec 2028

Luciano Riveros knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Luciano Riveros trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market4 Dec 2028

The shop window has Alan Sosa in it

San Martín SJ have let the market know Alan Sosa can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Market4 Dec 2028

The Luciano Riveros story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Luciano Riveros signs something — a contract at San Martín SJ or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

The dugout4 Dec 2028

When it matters, Elías Peralta 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.

Squad27 Nov 2028

The knee: Gerardo Díaz out for 31 days

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

Match27 Nov 2028

The view from the top for San Martín SJ

76 points, and the rest of the division looking up. Every side that finishes first spends the season pretending it is not thinking about it, and this one has started pretending.

The dugout27 Nov 2028

Nicolás Moreno says San Martín SJ 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.

Market27 Nov 2028

Only the photograph left for Thomas Romero

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Thomas Romero will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around San Martín SJ the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad27 Nov 2028

A falling-out at San Martín SJ

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

Squad27 Nov 2028

Julián Marchio 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.

Market27 Nov 2028

The Nicolás Paz question follows San Martín SJ around

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

The dugout27 Nov 2028

When it matters, Nicolás Iachetti 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 dugout27 Nov 2028

The manager makes Maximiliano Coronel a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at San Martín SJ. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.
