Marked for Kun

From our football correspondent Steady

Market

Luca Campagnaro 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 Colón can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Only the photograph left for Nicolás Nagel

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Nicolás Nagel will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Colón the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Ignacio Lago

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Ignacio Lago 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 Colón this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

As if he never left: Kun returns

Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Kun is a Colón player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Match

Facundo Castro’s goal not enough for Colón

Facundo Castro scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑3 to Morón, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

Enzo Galizzi stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Enzo Galizzi and Colón agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

No hiding place for Matías Budiño

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Matías Budiño, and the manager let it.

Boardroom

144% of the income goes out in wages at Colón

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 Mitre Post

8 Oct 2029
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Boardroom

Mitre put Tomás Moreno on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Market

Lautaro Valdovinos 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 The request is on a desk at Mitre, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Nicolás Goitea 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 Mitre this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

$222.4K of the owner's money at Mitre

The shortfall was covered from upstairs again. Supporters are entitled to be relieved and entitled to ask what happens the month it is not, and both feelings usually arrive together.

Squad

Maximiliano Romero signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Maximiliano Romero and Mitre agree another 1 years.

Boardroom

Wages eat 91% of everything Mitre earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad

Jesús Juárez 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

The Ezequiel González talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Mitre know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Market

Mitre put Nahuel González up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Nahuel González may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

The Mitre Post

23 Apr 2029
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

Mitre out of the cup

Barracas Central ended it 1‑1. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Squad

Jesús Juárez is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Jesús Juárez: 1 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Boardroom

Mitre counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Mitre now.

Market

Blas Videla 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 Mitre, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Tempers go at Mitre

Nicolás Goitea 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.

Player ratings

One of those days for Facundo Wiechniak

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.57, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

Bautista Tagliani runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Santiago Rosales in the eights

A performance of 8.77 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Match

Facundo Wiechniak sends Mitre past San Telmo

It finished 1‑0, and it was Facundo Wiechniak’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Mitre.
