Market

Nicolò Armini is on his way

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

Squad

Words at Crotone training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Matteo Maggio 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

Words exchanged at Crotone

Mario Borrelli 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.

Market

Nicolò Armini runs his contract down

1 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Crotone money.

The dugout

The manager makes Andrea Rispoli a promise

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

The dugout

Diego Russo 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.

Squad

The season belongs to Mattia Novella

An individual honour is a strange thing in a team game, and the best of them are never argued with. He has had the sort of year that ends with his name being read out, and Crotone have had the benefit of it.

Squad

Nicolò Armini 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 Crotone this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A row about effort at Crotone

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

Boardroom

$2.3M on the table at Crotone

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.

Squad

Mario Borrelli signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Mario Borrelli and Crotone agree another 3 years.

The dugout

The manager has not finished forgetting Cristian Andreoni's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.
