Only the photograph left for Valentín Fiezzi
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Valentín Fiezzi will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Alcorcón the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Tempers go at Alcorcón
César Álvarez 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.

A row about effort at Alcorcón
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Ali Jaber was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Cole Dexter gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Ali Jaber knocks on the manager’s door
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Ali Jaber trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
Loan watch31 Mar 2031
Octavio Ontivero first choice at Sevilla
26 starts and a season average of 6.79. The loan is doing exactly what it was arranged to do.

Still no signature from Valentín Fiezzi
5 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what Alcorcón could get for him.

A season on the outside for Ilja Bykovskiy
He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Alcorcón has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

A door opens for David Easmon
He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.
