Squad18 Aug 2031

The knee: Frederick Samuel Ndongue out for 91 days

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

Squad18 Aug 2031

41 days out for Alejandro Cavanna after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. AlbinoLeffe will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Transfer targets18 Aug 2031

Christian Pierobon will not be coming to AlbinoLeffe

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Lumezzane is saying, and nobody at AlbinoLeffe is enjoying the guessing.

Transfer targets18 Aug 2031

AlbinoLeffe bid $3.9M for Matteo Angeli

The offer went to Perugia this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

The dugout18 Aug 2031

Vinko Međimorec keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” AlbinoLeffe may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market18 Aug 2031

Simone Martini is on his way

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

Squad18 Aug 2031

Pietro Burini is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad18 Aug 2031

Tempers go at AlbinoLeffe

Andrea Mandelli 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.

Transfer targets18 Aug 2031

Cittadella tell AlbinoLeffe: Raffaele Rossetti 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.

Squad21 Jul 2031

Frederick Samuel Ndongue damages knee ligaments — 119 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 119 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad21 Jul 2031

A fracture rules Alejandro Cavanna out for 69 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason AlbinoLeffe will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Transfer targets21 Jul 2031

AlbinoLeffe agree $200.0K for Gastón Pérez

The clubs have shaken hands with Juve Stabia; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Squad21 Jul 2031

Tempers go at AlbinoLeffe

Andrea Mandelli 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.

Squad21 Jul 2031

Real improvement from Pietro Burini at AlbinoLeffe

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Pietro Burini is 23, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Transfer targets21 Jul 2031

AlbinoLeffe rebuffed over Raffaele Rossetti

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

The dugout21 Jul 2031

When it matters, Vinko Međimorec 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.

Market21 Jul 2031

Vincenzo Damiano linked with a move away

The name of Vincenzo Damiano keeps appearing in other people's back pages. AlbinoLeffe say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout21 Jul 2031

Jorge Pérez 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 Jorge Pérez trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Player ratings10 Feb 2031

Nobody could get near Michele Ambrosini

Successful dribbles: 45. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad10 Feb 2031

A knee injury of the worst kind for Riccardo Baroni

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

Squad10 Feb 2031

Mattia Damioli keeps AlbinoLeffe in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Pietro Burini asks to leave AlbinoLeffe

“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.

The dugout10 Feb 2031

Rocco Dente keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” AlbinoLeffe may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market10 Feb 2031

Robin Druelle has one foot out of the door

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

Boardroom10 Feb 2031

Robin Druelle has agreed to leave AlbinoLeffe for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad10 Feb 2031

Tempers go at AlbinoLeffe

Andrea Mandelli 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.

Nicolò Gamba 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 AlbinoLeffe can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets13 Jan 2031

The paperwork begins on Joel Sula

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

Transfer targets13 Jan 2031

Leandro Chichizola will not be coming to AlbinoLeffe

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Spezia is saying, and nobody at AlbinoLeffe is enjoying the guessing.

Squad13 Jan 2031

Tempers go at AlbinoLeffe

Jacopo Desogus 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.

Squad13 Jan 2031

Words at AlbinoLeffe training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Alessandro Lombardi 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.

Boardroom13 Jan 2031

AlbinoLeffe beat the market to Melos Bajrami from Ascoli

Ascoli will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Melos Bajrami has pre-agreed a move to AlbinoLeffe, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Squad13 Jan 2031

Jorge Pérez wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and AlbinoLeffe know it.

Transfer targets13 Jan 2031

AlbinoLeffe ask about Rok Bržan

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