The Güemes Post

From our football correspondent Crisis

The dugout

Agustín Cabrera says Güemes 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Güemes

Dionel Ansaldo 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.

Boardroom

85% of the income goes out in wages at Güemes

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Squad

Fede signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Fede and Güemes agree another 3 years.

The dugout

When it matters, Gianfranco Baier plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout

Daniel Ferrari 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.

Squad

A row about effort at Güemes

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Daniel Silva was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market

Facundo Melillán linked with a move away

The name of Facundo Melillán keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Güemes say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout

Gabriel Rojas 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 Gabriel Rojas trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

The terraces

Supporters organise against the Güemes board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Market

Agustín Cabrera hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Güemes can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Words exchanged at Güemes

Dionel Ansaldo and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets

Güemes rebuffed over Sergio Miranda

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Sarmiento have kept their man, and Güemes go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The dugout

Ricardo Flores 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.

Squad

Agustín Cabrera signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Agustín Cabrera commits to Güemes for another 3 years.

The dugout

The manager has not finished forgetting Ricardo Flores's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

The dugout

When it matters, Facundo Melillán plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Boardroom

Nobody arrives at Güemes until somebody leaves

The club is not barred from spending; it simply has nothing to spend that it has not first raised. Every name linked with Güemes this window arrives with a name leaving in the same sentence.
