Marked for André Moreira

Squad

6 saves: André Moreira was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Market

Oliveirense sell Luís Bastos for $650.0K

Luís Bastos has left for Moreirense in a $650.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad

A row about effort at Oliveirense

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

Squad

Tempers go at Oliveirense

Kazuya Onohara 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.

Match

Oliveirense refuse to lose to Porto B

A point taken on 94 minutes is worth exactly one point and considerably more than that to a dressing room. This side does not stop, which is a reputation worth more than the result.

Squad

The formation has left Tiago Real behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Oliveirense will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Zaidu Sanusi is in the works

Oliveirense have made the call to Porto. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Transfer targets

Oliveirense ask about Nicolás Castagno

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

Match

Honours even between Oliveirense and Porto B

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

In brief

Squad

André Moreira gets the move he always wanted

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

Market

Oliveirense turn down Moreirense for Luís Bastos

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Transfer targets

José Neto due for a Oliveirense medical

Everything agreed with Benfica, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Transfer targets

Gabriel Cabral turns down Oliveirense

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Famalicao keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Market

Ricardo Ribeiro is a Oliveirense player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Squad

Ricardo Ribeiro stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Ricardo Ribeiro and Oliveirense agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

A falling-out at Oliveirense

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

Market

One of our own: Felipe Almeida joins the Oliveirense first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Felipe Almeida is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Oliveirense promote Nuno Monteiro from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Nuno Monteiro 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.
