Market

Francisco González Metilli 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 Estudiantes can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Tomás Páez says Estudiantes 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

The manager makes an example of Fernando Muslera

“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.

Match

Estudiantes come up short against Boca Juniors

Boca Juniors left with the points after a 0-1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Loan watch

Benjamín Sagües Barreiro has seen enough of Sport Recife

“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 Estudiantes, and 0 appearances in 21 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

Jerónimo Pourtau asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

Franco Lorenzón asks to leave Estudiantes

“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.

Squad

José Devecchi says Estudiantes 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.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Estudiantes

The unbeaten run reaches 10. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Francisco González Metilli

“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.

Boardroom

$5.0M on the table at Estudiantes

The board have answered with money instead of encouragement, which is the only answer a manager ever wants. Spending it well is now entirely his problem.

Loan watch

Santino Crego has seen enough of Metalist

“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 Estudiantes, and 0 appearances in 9 say he has earned the hearing.
