Squad

Manuel Baldé falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Words exchanged at Lusitânia Lourosa

Jevan Beattie 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.

The dugout

Manuel Baldé 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.

Squad

Paulité signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Paulité commits to Lusitânia Lourosa for another 4 years.

Transfer targets

Mamelodi Sundowns tell Lusitânia Lourosa: Arthur Sales 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Lusitânia Lourosa

Paulité 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.

Gabriel Souza attracts admirers

The name of Gabriel Souza has come up in conversations Lusitânia Lourosa were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Transfer targets

Lusitânia Lourosa ask about Soriba Diaoune

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

Squad

Tiago Dias falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market

No place for Marco Ribeiro in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Marco Ribeiro has his answer from Lusitânia Lourosa; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Market

Talks stall between Lusitânia Lourosa and Manuel Sousa

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market

49 months and counting on Tiago Dias

Still no offer on the table, and Tiago Dias’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.
