Player ratings

Juan Ignacio Duma, 34, rolls back the years — 8.04

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.04 at 34, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Market

Pablo Suárez has one foot out of the door

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

Market

Austria Salzburg come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Rentistas did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Pablo Ceppelini signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Pablo Ceppelini commits to Rentistas for another 2 years.

Squad

Words exchanged at Rentistas

Facundo Rodríguez 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.

Match

Rentistas come up short against Basanez

Basanez left with the points after a 3‑4 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Match

7 goals as Rentistas and Basanez go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 7 goals between Rentistas and Basanez, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Squad

A row about effort at Rentistas

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Andrés Madruga was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets

Gimnasia La Plata tell Rentistas: Alejandro Almaraz 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.

Market

Luciano Inverso says no to Rampla Juniors

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Luciano Inverso had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Market

Gonzalo Barreto 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 Rentistas can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout

Carlos Núñez: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Rentistas have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Rentistas turn down Deutscher FK for Fabricio Roldán

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Words exchanged at Rentistas

Facundo Rodríguez 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.

Squad

Words at Rentistas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nicolás Pintado 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.

Transfer targets

Rentistas rebuffed over Germán Guiffrey

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Gimnasia y Esgrima have kept their man, and Rentistas go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match

Rentistas find a way past Uruguay Montevideo

Uruguay Montevideo made Rentistas work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

Manuel Gonzalez out for 51 days

The medical room confirms 51 days on the sidelines for Manuel Gonzalez, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.
