Squad

Bali Mumba damages knee ligaments — 67 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 67 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

Samuel Posada breaks a bone — 26 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 26 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Daniel Vargas is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Santa Fe is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Edwin Mosquera 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 Santa Fe this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Santa Fe to lose Juan José Álvarez for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Juan José Álvarez has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad

Words at Santa Fe training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. José Vanetta is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

A fracture rules Dilshodbek Sharofiddinov out for 78 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason AGMK will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Aziz Abdullaev says AGMK 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.

Market

Nagatomo Haraguchi 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 The request is on a desk at AGMK, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Aziz Xolmurodov 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 AGMK this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Rauof Jbareen gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Rauof Jbareen has just signed for AGMK, and for once the answer mattered.

Boardroom

The owner puts $487.9K into AGMK

This is money that keeps the lights on rather than money that buys a centre-half, and the difference is the whole story. A club funded by its owner rather than by its football has exactly one conversation left ahead of it.
