Market

Fernando Da Rosa is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Cesar Vallejo is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Boardroom

Cesar Vallejo to lose Fernando Da Rosa for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Fernando Da Rosa has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Tempers go at Cesar Vallejo

Santiago Vera 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.

Boardroom

Joshua Cantt will join Cesar Vallejo for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Joshua Cantt has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Cesar Vallejo have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

One of our own: Roberto Carrillo joins the Cesar Vallejo first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Roberto Carrillo is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Cesar Vallejo promote Christian Polo from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Christian Polo has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Sergio Garces steps up from the Cesar Vallejo academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Sergio Garces has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Squad

No place for Jorge Agüero in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Cesar Vallejo are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

The dugout

Fernando Da Rosa 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.

In brief
