The Osasuna Chronicle

Villarreal come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Osasuna did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

A move Svetoslav Vutsov would have made for nothing
There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Svetoslav Vutsov is living that version at Osasuna, and it tends to show in the first month.

Svetoslav Vutsov arrives at Osasuna as the heir apparent
Every dressing room knows how to read a signing like this one. Svetoslav Vutsov is not here to sit and wait indefinitely, and the man whose place he has been bought to take knows it better than anyone.

Ante Budimir 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 Osasuna this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

3 academy players handed senior numbers at Osasuna
The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Osasuna sign Juan Giménez, one for the future
Juan Giménez is 20, and Osasuna have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

One of our own: Daniel Ferrer joins the Osasuna first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Daniel Ferrer is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Too much change too quickly at Osasuna
6 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.

Osasuna turn down the training-ground plan
It is the quietest way a club tells you what its ambitions are. The money was asked for, the money was refused, and the people who work there every day now know exactly where they stand.
In brief
- The terraces Everybody has an opinion about Svetoslav Vutsov
- Squad A wage question at Osasuna
