The Excursionistas Chronicle
Market7 Feb 2028
Gabriel Tellas has said yes to Argentino de Quilmes
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Excursionistas have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Nicolás Rodríguez: 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.” Excursionistas have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
Boardroom7 Feb 2028
Excursionistas told to sell
The instruction came from the boardroom and the dugout did not agree with it. Somebody will go, the fee will be called good business, and the manager will spend the season rebuilding around the space.

Nicolás Rodríguez’s move to Temperley falls through
The deal that would have taken Nicolás Rodríguez to Temperley has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Excursionistas with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Tempers go at Excursionistas
Alan Espeche was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Boardroom7 Feb 2028
Graduation day at Excursionistas
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.

Federico Haberkorn 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.
Transfer targets7 Feb 2028
Door shut on Brandon Verón
Excursionistas asked and San Lorenzo said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Fénix take the points off Excursionistas
Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
