Nueva Chicago come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Talleres did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Daniel Acosta asks to leave Talleres
“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.

Santino Vacarezza is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Talleres is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Luis Montilla signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Luis Montilla and Talleres agree another 3 years.

Santino Vacarezza has become a man the manager trusts
Nobody at Talleres will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Matías Zubowicz wants to know why he earns less
Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and Talleres have no good answer.
