Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Juan de Tomaso

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

Match

Mitre sink to position 16

31 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Market

Jeremías Villafañe asks to leave Mitre

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Ignacio Pietrobono in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Mitre this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A row about effort at Mitre

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

Squad

Laucha signs on for more

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

Squad

The knee: Juan de Tomaso out for 111 days

111 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Mitre lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Boardroom

The scrutiny sharpens at Mitre

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Mitre is running low.

Market

Emanuel Valdearenas asks to leave Mitre

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

A falling-out at Mitre

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

Squad

Pablo Muscarelli signs on for more

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

Squad

Mitre are still strangers to each other

6 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Boardroom

Mitre spell it out for Tomás Campos

The board’s statement ran to three sentences and one of them mentioned results. Tomás Campos has managed long enough to translate: win soon, or the next statement is shorter.

Match

Every point is an argument now for Mitre

Position 16 and 31 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Market

Only the photograph left for Nahuel Reyes

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Nahuel Reyes will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Mitre the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market

Tiago Ferreyra asks to leave Mitre

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Ignacio Pietrobono in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Mitre this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A row about effort at Mitre

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

The dugout

Martín Rodríguez knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Mitre, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

Rodrigo González linked with a move away

The name of Rodrigo González keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Mitre say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout

Facundo Silva without the man who signed him

Every squad is half players the manager chose and half players he inherited. Facundo Silva was chosen, the man who chose him has gone, and he starts again from nothing under the next one.
