Squad

A falling-out at Goiás

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

Transfer targets

Bragantino tell Goiás: José María Herrera 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.

Market

One of our own: Guilherme Rocha joins the Goiás first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Guilherme Rocha is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Goiás promote André Lopes from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. André Lopes 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

Felipe Monteiro steps up from the Goiás academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Felipe Monteiro 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.

Market

One of our own: Aranha joins the Goiás first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Aranha is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Goiás

5 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout

Moraes gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Moraes is on it.

Squad

Baldória wants out of the dugout

“I did not sign to watch. Nobody does.” The oldest complaint in the game, and Goiás will have to answer it with minutes or with a move.

In brief

  • The dugout The manager makes Wellerson a promise
  • The dugout The manager plants his flag on Dani Bolt
