Boardroom

The scrutiny sharpens at Bogota

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Bogota is running low.

Market

Luis Millán has one foot out of the door

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

Squad

A falling-out at Bogota

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

Squad

Words at Bogota training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Juan Camilo Moreno 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.

The dugout

Diego Montien asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

The clock does Anderson Acevedo’s negotiating for him

4 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee Bogota could ask drops and the wages Anderson Acevedo can ask rise.

Boardroom

The scrutiny sharpens at Bogota

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Bogota is running low.

Market

Juan Martinez 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 Bogota can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Only the photograph left for Luis Millán

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Luis Millán will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Bogota the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

A falling-out at Bogota

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

Squad

Cristián Mosquera 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

Too much change too quickly at Bogota

5 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

In brief
