Match

Como taken apart

0‑6 to AC Milan, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Squad

60 days out for Cedric Gondo after a fracture

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

The dugout

Thomas Boccia keeps the receipts

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

Squad

Remember the name: Assane Diao

He is 21, he is averaging 7.29, and older professionals have started passing to him in the difficult minutes. That last part is the real scouting report.

Squad

A falling-out at Como

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

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Como and AC Milan in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Squad

Máximo Perrone 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.

The dugout

Tasos Douvikas 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.

Boardroom

Doors closed at Como

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

Market

Como sell Jesús Rodríguez for $13.7M

Jesús Rodríguez has left for AC Milan in a $13.7M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Market

Como sell Jayden Addai for $11.5M

Jayden Addai has left for Genoa in a $11.5M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Market

Como say no — this time

The offer from Inter for Máximo Perrone was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Federico Bonazzoli

Como asked and Cremonese said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Transfer targets

Como bid $4.6M for John Yeboah

The offer went to Venezia 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.

Transfer targets

No deal for Abdoulaye Ndiaye at that price

Como offered $5.9M; Parma said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Squad

Trevoh Chalobah 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 Como this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Thomas Boccia signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Thomas Boccia commits to Como for another 3 years.

Market

Triestina join the queue for Miguel João da Silva

Add another name to the list: Triestina have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Miguel João da Silva. The answer from Como has not changed — yet.

In brief

  • Squad 5 new faces, and Como are still learning each other
  • The dugout Thomas Boccia knocks on the manager's door
  • Squad Luis Milla wants to know why he earns less
