Market

Bari watching Matías Giménez Rojas

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Argentinos Juniors have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad

Federico Mancuello signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Federico Mancuello and Argentinos Juniors agree another 2 years.

Squad

Hernán López Muñoz 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

Tempers go at Argentinos Juniors

Nicolás Oroz 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

Too much change too quickly at Argentinos Juniors

11 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout

Alan Lescano 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.

The dugout

Roberto Ponce: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

Market

No place for Luciano Sánchez in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Luciano Sánchez has his answer from Argentinos Juniors; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Match

Point won or two lost for Argentinos Juniors?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Independiente Rivadavia? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

In brief
