The Pumas UNAM Courier

11 Feb 2036
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market11 Feb 2036

Terms done: Marco Lainez is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Dorados waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Pumas UNAM is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

The dugout11 Feb 2036

Ivan Romo keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Pumas UNAM may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad11 Feb 2036

A move Juan Capuchino would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Juan Capuchino is living that version at Pumas UNAM, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad11 Feb 2036

Ľubomír Belko 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 Pumas UNAM this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout11 Feb 2036

The manager makes an example of Sebastian Nanasi

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match9 Feb 2036

A bad afternoon for Pumas UNAM against Santos Laguna

0‑2 to Santos Laguna, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad11 Feb 2036

Semeu Commey 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.

Squad11 Feb 2036

Juan Capuchino stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Juan Capuchino and Pumas UNAM agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout11 Feb 2036

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑2 defeat, delivered by Interim Coach to a room that had heard them before.

The Morelia Chronicle

19 Jun 2034
From our football correspondent Uneasy

The terraces19 Jun 2034

The mood at Morelia has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Squad19 Jun 2034

Dayvi Busby breaks a bone — 75 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 75 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market19 Jun 2034

Marko Ivezić is on his way

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

Transfer targets19 Jun 2034

Fee done, terms next for Ramiro García

Morelia and Queretaro have settled on $240.0K. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Transfer targets19 Jun 2034

Morelia bid $1.1M for Iker Benito

The offer went to Guadalajara this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Squad19 Jun 2034

Tempers go at Morelia

Arturo Palma 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.

Transfer targets19 Jun 2034

No deal for Lorenzo Luchino at that price

Morelia offered $99.0K; Santos Laguna said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Squad19 Jun 2034

Words at Morelia training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Zorhan Bassong 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.

Market19 Jun 2034

Still no signature from Ari Contreras

1 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what Morelia could get for him.
