From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Francisco Maidana 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 The request is on a desk at Gimnasia y Esgrima, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

Nahuel Zapatiel keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Gimnasia y Esgrima may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

David Gallardo 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

A falling-out at Gimnasia y Esgrima

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

The dugout

Noah Costa gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Axel Pinto pulls a muscle — 15 days out

The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 15 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

Boardroom

Wages swallow 102% of the Gimnasia y Esgrima income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

Player ratings

Juan Cruz Franzoni stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.77 on the card, and the Gimnasia y Esgrima support went home talking about one name.

Loan watch

Gonzalo Puntano wants to come home

“I did not go to Vegalta Sendai to sit and watch. I want to come back to Gimnasia y Esgrima and fight for my place.” 9 appearances in 12 matches say the rest.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

65 days out for Francisco Molina after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Gimnasia y Esgrima will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market

Manuel Severich asks to leave Gimnasia y Esgrima

“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.

Market

Gonzalo Gómez has one foot out of the door

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

Squad

Words at Gimnasia y Esgrima training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. David Gallardo 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Gimnasia y Esgrima

Diego López Rivadeneira 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.

The dugout

David Gallardo 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 Gimnasia y Esgrima, and both men came out saying it was fine.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A fracture rules Francisco Molina out for 108 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Gimnasia y Esgrima will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Emiliano Rey asks to leave Gimnasia y Esgrima

“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

A falling-out at Gimnasia y Esgrima

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

Boardroom

134% of the income goes out in wages at Gimnasia y Esgrima

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Noah Costa

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Nicolás Dematei 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 Gimnasia y Esgrima

7 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.

The dugout

Emiliano Rey 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

No place for Gonzalo Gómez in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Gonzalo Gómez has his answer from Gimnasia y Esgrima; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
