Amir Jama 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 The request is on a desk at Defensores Unidos, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market27 Dec 2032

Bastián Morales has one foot out of the door

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

Transfer targets27 Dec 2032

The paperwork begins on Matías Ríos

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Defensores Unidos have done the hard part with River Plate, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Boardroom27 Dec 2032

Gerlen Oviedo signs for Godoy Cruz while still at Defensores Unidos

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Gerlen Oviedo has agreed terms with Godoy Cruz for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad27 Dec 2032

A falling-out at Defensores Unidos

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

Defensores Unidos rebuffed over Carlos Alberto Romano

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

Squad27 Dec 2032

A row about effort at Defensores Unidos

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

Defensores Unidos ask about Valentín Costa

A loan enquiry to River Plate: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Market20 Dec 2032

Jeremías Sabbatini asks to leave Defensores Unidos

“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.

Squad20 Dec 2032

Lautaro Disanto 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 Defensores Unidos this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets20 Dec 2032

Sarmiento tell Defensores Unidos: Benjamín Borasi is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Boardroom20 Dec 2032

Defensores Unidos cannot sign anybody

The embargo bars a fee being paid for a player, whatever the manager thinks the squad needs. Every rumour printed about this club between now and its lifting is a rumour about a deal that cannot happen.

A row about effort at Defensores Unidos

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

Boardroom20 Dec 2032

Defensores Unidos are $17.7M in the red

The borrowing is past what the bank agreed, which is the line where a debt stops being how football is financed and starts being a problem. Every phone-in in this town will quote the figure for the next five years.

Julio López 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.

Squad20 Dec 2032

Amir Jama wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Defensores Unidos can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Market20 Dec 2032

Davi Gomes already looking beyond Defensores Unidos

He signed expecting a bigger stage than the one he found. It has not taken long, and it has not taken the dressing room long to notice either.
