Squad

A move Dieguinho 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. Dieguinho is living that version at Casarano, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Karlo Lulić signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Karlo Lulić commits to Casarano for another 3 years.

Squad

Niccolò Chiorra 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 Casarano this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Casarano training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Karlo Lulić 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.

Market

Still no ink between Casarano and Cosimo Chiricò

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Casarano, another week without a signature from Cosimo Chiricò.

Market

Nobody at Casarano has picked up the phone to Niccolò Chiorra

48 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Squad

Cosimo Chiricò has been here 8 seasons

426 appearances across 8 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Squad

Raffaele Maiello stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Raffaele Maiello and Casarano agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Casarano

Niccolò Chiorra 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.

Squad

Ismael Cajazzo 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.

Market

Casarano and Daniele Celiento are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Market

24 months and counting on Vito Leonetti

Still no offer on the table, and Vito Leonetti’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

In brief

  • Market Casarano bring in an old head
  • Market Casarano shop where it costs nothing
