Market

Ktatau 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 Chaves can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Tempers go at Chaves

Bruno Rodrigues 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.

Squad

Miguel Galeano 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 Miguel Galeano trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

Pablo Picón 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 The request is on a desk at Chaves, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Bruno Rodrigues 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 Chaves this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Chaves buy the years ahead of Laurent Mignolet

He is 20, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Squad

Edgar Adam signs on for more

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

Squad

Pablo Picón 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 Pablo Picón trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad

No hiding place for Dylan Reid

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

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Marvin Schieb asks to leave Chaves

“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.

Squad

Tempers go at Chaves

Bruno Rodrigues 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.

Squad

Ian Paauwe out for 54 days

The medical room confirms 54 days on the sidelines for Ian Paauwe, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Chaves count the cost of losing Edgar Adam

32 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Market

Chaves buy the years ahead of Kevin Fernandes

He is 20, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Squad

Kevin Fernandes stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Kevin Fernandes and Chaves agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
