Wendell keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Tombense may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Tombense rebuffed over Mateus Carvalho

A loan move for João Pedro is in the works
Tombense have made the call to Sport Recife. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.
