André Horta frozen out at Penafiel
This is not rotation. André Horta has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Penafiel is pretending otherwise.

Andreas Athanasiou: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Penafiel have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Hlynur Freyr Karlsson wants to know where this is going
“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Penafiel hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

So close: Alex Moretti’s move dies late
The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Académica moved on, Alex Moretti reports back to Penafiel, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Penafiel get their man
The chase for Chamito ended with $210.0K changing hands and Académico de Viseu out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Penafiel baulk at the price for Miguel Baeza
Pacos de Ferreira wanted more than $500.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Iano Simão 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.

Penafiel rebuffed over Felipe Vizeu
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Estrela da Amadora have kept their man, and Penafiel go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
