Market31 Jan 2028

José Caicedo 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 The request is on a desk at Bogota, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match29 Jan 2028

No end in sight to Bogota's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Bogota has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad31 Jan 2028

Words exchanged at Bogota

Andrés Buelvas 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.

Match29 Jan 2028

A bad afternoon for Bogota against Depor

0‑2 to Depor, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout31 Jan 2028

No hiding place for Alejandro Aguilar

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Alejandro Aguilar, and the manager let it.

The dugout31 Jan 2028

Fernando Vargas faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Fernando Vargas after 0‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Player ratings31 Jan 2028

Off the pace: Jhorman Solís

A mark of 4.48 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.

Squad31 Jan 2028

The formation has left David Alfaro behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Bogota will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

The dugout31 Jan 2028

Jhorman Solís is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

The dugout24 Jan 2028

Juan Alberto Sánchez: 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.” Bogota have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match22 Jan 2028

The wait goes on for Bogota

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Market24 Jan 2028

David Alfaro comes home

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

Market24 Jan 2028

As if he never left: Nazareno Mercado returns

Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Nazareno Mercado is a Bogota player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Squad24 Jan 2028

Tempers go at Bogota

Andrés Buelvas 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.

Squad24 Jan 2028

David Alfaro arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. David Alfaro has, at Bogota, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Boardroom24 Jan 2028

Graduation day at Bogota

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Market24 Jan 2028

Alfredo Caicedo steps up from the Bogota academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Alfredo Caicedo has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market24 Jan 2028

Fernando Martinez steps up from the Bogota academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Fernando Martinez has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

From our football correspondent Steady

Market21 Jun 2027

Agustín Kahl has said yes to Oriental

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

The dugout21 Jun 2027

José Varela: 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.” Racing have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market21 Jun 2027

Racing turn down Basanez for Felipe Álvarez

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market21 Jun 2027

David Alfaro asks to leave Racing

“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.

Market21 Jun 2027

Facundo Parada has one foot out of the door

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

Match19 Jun 2027

4 matches without a win for Racing

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Racing are no longer polite ones.

Squad21 Jun 2027

Words exchanged at Racing

Renzo Bacchia 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.

Squad21 Jun 2027

A row about effort at Racing

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

Transfer targets21 Jun 2027

Talleres tell Racing: Gonzalo Lencina 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.
