The mood at Oeste 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.

Paulo Ribeiro damages knee ligaments — 91 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 91 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.

Oeste sink to position 20
15 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Oeste sell a favourite for $490.0K
The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Elvin Mehičić was one of the reasons people came, and $490.0K does not replace that by itself.

No end in sight to Oeste's wait for a win
4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Oeste has to find a result from somewhere.

Elvin Mehičić moves on
Vitória pay $490.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Oeste sell Jonás Rodríguez for $340.0K
Jonás Rodríguez has left for Atletico Goianiense in a $340.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.
