Terms done: Ángel Sánchez is going
Fee agreed, wages agreed, and General Caballero JLM waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Sportivo Trinidense is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Kevin Lezcano is a medical away from Sportivo Trinidense
The deal with Tembetary is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Ian Subiabre 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 Sportivo Trinidense this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Sportivo Trinidense rebuffed over Alfio Oviedo

Maximiliano Centurión knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Sportivo Trinidense, and both men came out saying it was fine.
