Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Ignacio Santana

19 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Oviedo lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Mikel Goti

Successful dribbles: 29. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Santi Cazorla yet — 8.19

At 42 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.19 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Boardroom

Still no name above the door at Oviedo

Day 42 of the vacancy. Candidates have been priced, sounded out and quietly ruled out — and the caretaker’s win ratio is becoming an argument all by itself.

Squad

Oviedo count the cost of losing Álvaro Núñez

20 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

A falling-out at Oviedo

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

Squad

A row about effort at Oviedo

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Santi Cazorla was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The terraces

One of their own: Davinchi

He is 19 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match

Santi Cazorla sends Oviedo past Real Sociedad

It finished 2‑0, and it was Santi Cazorla’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Oviedo.

Squad

Joan Femenías arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Joan Femenías has, at Oviedo, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Transfer targets

Zaragoza tell Oviedo: Tachi is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Davinchi

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Oviedo have done the hard part with Getafe, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Market

Joan Femenías is a Oviedo player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Squad

David Costas signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” David Costas and Oviedo agree another 3 years.

Martín González steps up from the Oviedo academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Martín González has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Markel Parra steps up from the Oviedo academy
