Diego Mascardi keeps Bologna in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Nicolò Cambiaghi 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 Bologna can pretend not to have heard.

Łukasz Skorupski 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 Bologna this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Only the photograph left for Danilo Quaranta

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Danilo Quaranta will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Bologna the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Riccardo Orsolini 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.

Shamil Gadjiev gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Shamil Gadjiev has just signed for Bologna, and for once the answer mattered.

Boardroom19 Feb 2029

Eddy Lanzi will join Bologna for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Eddy Lanzi has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Bologna have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Nobody could get near Riccardo Orsolini

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The Nicolò Cambiaghi story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Nicolò Cambiaghi signs something — a contract at Bologna or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Match10 Feb 2029

Bologna run riot against Cremonese

3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Market12 Feb 2029

Sorrento come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Bologna did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad12 Feb 2029

Tempers go at Bologna

Łukasz Skorupski 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.

Boardroom12 Feb 2029

Bologna to lose Danilo Quaranta for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Danilo Quaranta has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Market12 Feb 2029

Only the photograph left for Diego Borghini

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Diego Borghini will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Bologna the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad12 Feb 2029

Words at Bologna training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Riccardo Orsolini 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.

Squad12 Feb 2029

The manager makes an example of Thijs Dallinga

“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.

Loan watch12 Feb 2029

Tommaso Ebone has seen enough of Stade Brestois

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Bologna, and 9 appearances in 29 say he has earned the hearing.

One of those days for Nicolò Cambiaghi

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.68, and no argument anywhere in the ground.
