Squad

The knee: Guido Gomez out for 105 days

105 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Bari lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market

Romano Floriani Mussolini 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 Bari can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

A day El Bilal Touré will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Boardroom

Bari close the window on a squad of their own making

21 in and 16 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Squad

A falling-out at Bari

Lorenzo Pellegrini and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Player ratings

One of those days for El Bilal Touré

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.85, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match

Bari get the job done against Frosinone

A 3‑2 win over Frosinone, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

Words at Bari training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Romano Floriani Mussolini 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.

Match

No time for Frosinone to settle

The goal that put Frosinone ahead was still being replayed on the concourse when Bari equalised, 2 minutes later. Leads are only worth what you do with them.

In brief

  • Market Empoli are about to pick up the phone
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • Market Moussa Manè is free to find somewhere else

Market

Germán Berterame’s move to Hammarby falls through

The deal that would have taken Germán Berterame to Hammarby has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Bari with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Market

Guido Gomez agrees terms with Lugano

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Bari people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market

Marcelo Pappano puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Bari, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Words exchanged at Bari

Bartosz Mrozek 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.

Squad

Real improvement from Moussa Manè at Bari

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Moussa Manè is 23, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Boardroom

4 academy graduates step up at Bari

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Squad

Nicolás Fernández 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.

Squad

Giulio Maggiore has improved at 29, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Market

Bari promote Michele Moretti from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Michele Moretti has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

In brief

  • Boardroom A promise the Bari board did not keep
  • The dugout Lukas Grgić knocks on the manager’s door
  • The terraces Supporters make their feelings known about Germán Berterame
