Market

Gustavo Turraca 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 All Boys can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout

Gustavo Turraca: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” All Boys have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

A falling-out at All Boys

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

Boardroom

Wages swallow 188% of the All Boys income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

Squad

A row about effort at All Boys

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

Squad

Claudio Campostrini loses the armband

The captaincy has been taken off Claudio Campostrini. All Boys will call it a decision about the team; a dressing room reads it as a verdict on a man.

The dugout

Hernán Grana knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at All Boys, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Matías Cantero

“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.

The dugout

Lionel Jara is still paying for one afternoon at All Boys

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

From our football correspondent Steady

The dugout

Hernán Grana says All Boys went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

A falling-out at All Boys

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

Squad

Gustavo Turraca 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.

Loan watch

Lukas Ramil Sauer counts the days

“I watch every All Boys game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Okzhetpes runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

The dugout

Matías Nouet gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout

Ricardo Blanco knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at All Boys, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

No place for Lionel Paz in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Lionel Paz has his answer from All Boys; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

The dugout

Ezequiel Ramírez has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at All Boys will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market

The Thiago Calone talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. All Boys know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

In brief
