Market

Ramiro Luna 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 The request is on a desk at Quilmes, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

A 2-goal lead gone for Quilmes

It is a specific kind of quiet, a ground watching a winning position dissolve. Alvarado kept coming because nothing stopped them, and Quilmes will be asked about the last half hour all week.

Market

Quilmes turn down O'Higgins for Aaron Spetale

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Terms done: David Ledesma is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Talleres waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Quilmes is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

The dugout

Guapo says Quilmes went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

A falling-out at Quilmes

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

Market

Agustín Bindella moves on

Rosario Central pay $230.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad

A row about effort at Quilmes

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

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Esteban Glellel

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

From our football correspondent Steady

The dugout

Axel Batista: 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.” Quilmes have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Player ratings

Thomas Ortega goes up and wins it — 7.60

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.60 for the rest of it.

Boardroom

An order from above at Quilmes: somebody has to go

Balance sheets do not care about form or about who the manager was planning to build around. The board have decided a sale is required, and the only question left is which name ends up carrying it.

Squad

Words exchanged at Quilmes

Aaron Spetale and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Quilmes

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Squad

Ramiro Luna 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.

Market

Quilmes promote Sergio Medina from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Sergio Medina has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Quilmes promote Diego Molina from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Diego Molina has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
