Alejandro Elduayen damages knee ligaments — 110 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 110 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market

Lucas Suárez 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 La Luz can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Francisco Martirena has one foot out of the door

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

Squad

Words exchanged at La Luz

Bruno Scorza 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 La Luz training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Felipe Fernández 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

The manager makes an example of Germán Peralta

“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.

The dugout

Bruno Scorza 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 La Luz, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout

A promise honoured at La Luz

Something was said to Daniel Sanchez and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

Squad

The knee: Nicolas Suarez out for 19 days

19 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Albion lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match

Every point is an argument now for Albion

Position 15 and 13 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Market

Santiago Silva asks to leave Albion

“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

Albion turn down Wanderers for Santiago Silva

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

Market

Pedro Ramallo has said yes to Miramar Misiones

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Albion have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Match

No end in sight to Albion's wait for a win

7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Albion has to find a result from somewhere.

Transfer targets

No thanks: David Nogueira rejects the move

Albion had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Santos, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Boardroom

Daniel Sanchez signs for La Luz while still at Albion

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Daniel Sanchez has agreed terms with La Luz for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad

Hernán Toledo 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 Albion this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
