Market

Terms done: Rodrigo Guedes is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Académica waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Académico de Viseu is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Market

Nils Mortimer 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 Académico de Viseu can pretend not to have heard.

Boardroom

Académico de Viseu close the window on a squad of their own making

11 in and 13 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.

Market

So close: André Ceitil’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. 1º Dezembro moved on, André Ceitil reports back to Académico de Viseu, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Squad

A falling-out at Académico de Viseu

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

Squad

Words at Académico de Viseu training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Oskar Pietuszewski 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.

Transfer targets

Académico de Viseu rebuffed over Éberth

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

Squad

A step back for Valery at Académico de Viseu

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

Squad

David Nunes out for 16 days

The medical room confirms 16 days on the sidelines for David Nunes, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Market

André Clovis 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 Académico de Viseu can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Leixões come back empty-handed

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

Market

Académico de Viseu sell Igor Milioransa for $1.6M

Igor Milioransa has left for Estrela da Amadora in a $1.6M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Fernando Borja rejects the move

Académico de Viseu had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at La Equidad, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Miguel Moreno

Académico de Viseu asked and Paredes said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match

Académico de Viseu come up short against Porto B

Porto B left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

No hiding place for Juan Soriano

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Juan Soriano, and the manager let it.

Squad

Words exchanged at Académico de Viseu

Simão Silva 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.

Player ratings

Oskar Pietuszewski runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

André Ceitil 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 Académico de Viseu, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Académico de Viseu say no — this time

The offer from Leiria for Igor Milioransa was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Mateo Herrera rejects the move

Académico de Viseu had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Cortulua, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad

Tempers go at Académico de Viseu

Pinheiro Caio 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

Lorougnon Gohi 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.

Player ratings

Oskar Pietuszewski runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Sifiso Vilakazi

Académico de Viseu asked and Ajax Cape Town said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match

Académico de Viseu rescue it on 86 minutes

Behind, and beaten by any honest reading, until minute 86. Farense had the points in their pocket and a corner of the ground still believed, which is generally when it happens.

Player ratings

Mohammed Bouldini was the difference for Académico de Viseu

Marked 7.66. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Squad

Juan Soriano stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Juan Soriano and Académico de Viseu agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Soufiane Messeguem wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Académico de Viseu can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Squad

Valery 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 Académico de Viseu this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Lorougnon Gohi 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.

Transfer targets

Académico de Viseu rebuffed over Ryan Francisco

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

Market

Igor Milioransa attracts admirers

The name of Igor Milioransa has come up in conversations Académico de Viseu were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Market

Nobody at Académico de Viseu has picked up the phone to Juan Soriano

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

Transfer targets

Académico de Viseu ask about Javier Soto

A loan enquiry to Brasil de Pelotas: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

The dugout

Mohammed Bouldini asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

In brief
