Market

Gastón Mansilla 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 Argentinos Juniors can pretend not to have heard.

Loan watch

Neri Romero has seen enough of Gimnasia La Plata

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Argentinos Juniors, and 5 appearances in 19 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

The manager makes an example of José Mauri

“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.

Squad

Claudio Bravo 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 Argentinos Juniors, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Loan watch

Pablo Minissale keeps scoring at Mitre

33 appearances away from home and 5 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

Market

José Mauri runs his contract down

1 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Argentinos Juniors money.

Market

Argentinos Juniors put Lucas Chaves up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Lucas Chaves may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Market

The Cristian Ferreira talk will not go away

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

Squad

Federico Fattori has started doing his badges

“I watch sessions differently now. I catch myself thinking about why we are doing the drill.” At 35 that is how nearly every man in a dugout started.

Matías Giménez Rojas asks to leave Argentinos Juniors

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Argentinos Juniors lose Mateo Piciana

25 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

“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.

Market

The Lautaro Giaccone talk will not go away

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

Boardroom

Argentinos Juniors pull $5.0M back off the table

The money that was there in the summer is not there now. Nobody upstairs calls this a change of ambition, and everybody downstairs reads it as one.

Squad

Diego Rodríguez has company in his position

The competition arrived without a word said to him about it. Diego Rodríguez keeps the shirt for now, at Argentinos Juniors's convenience rather than his own.

Loan watch

3 goals on loan for Leonardo Heredia

30 appearances at Platense and the goals keep coming. Argentinos Juniors are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

34 appearances away from home and 6 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

Market

The clock runs on José Mauri's contract

1 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Boardroom

Pressure builds in the Argentinos Juniors boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Squad

Lucas Chaves says Argentinos Juniors 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.

Market

Diego Rodríguez 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 Argentinos Juniors can pretend not to have heard.

Market

José Mauri is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Argentinos Juniors is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

“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.

Agustín Mangiaut has seen enough of Sharjah

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Argentinos Juniors, and 8 appearances in 37 say he has earned the hearing.

Match

Argentinos Juniors and Banfield take a point apiece

It finished 2-2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Juan José Cardozo 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 Argentinos Juniors, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Francisco Álvarez is off the mark for Argentinos Juniors

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Boardroom

Juan Benítez has until the next board meeting

What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at Argentinos Juniors can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Diego Rodríguez

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Argentinos Juniors is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Match

4 matches without a win for Argentinos Juniors

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Argentinos Juniors are no longer polite ones.

Match

A bad afternoon for Argentinos Juniors against Racing Club

1-2 to Racing Club, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Claudio Bravo 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.

Squad

Costly mistake from Brayan Cortés

An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Brayan Cortés knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.

Argentinos Juniors and River Plate cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. River Plate came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

32 appearances at Mitre and the goals keep coming. Argentinos Juniors are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

Squad

The shirt belongs to Franco Paredes now

At 28 he has made the position his own, and the man he took it from has to find something to say about it. Argentinos Juniors have a decision that made itself.

Market

Still no signature from José Mauri

2 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what Argentinos Juniors could get for him.

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Real Cartagena come back empty-handed

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

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Argentinos Juniors, and 0 appearances in 29 say he has earned the hearing.

Juan José Cardozo 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 Argentinos Juniors, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The Lautaro Giaccone talk will not go away

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

The manager makes an example of Fernando Álvarez

Brayan Cortés: 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.” Argentinos Juniors have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match

No end in sight to Argentinos Juniors's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Argentinos Juniors has to find a result from somewhere.

Facundo Barboza 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 Argentinos Juniors can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Diego Rodríguez stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Diego Rodríguez and Argentinos Juniors agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Joaquín Gho

“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.

Match

Argentinos Juniors draw a blank against Tigre

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Tigre defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Hernán López Muñoz unhappy with how he is being used

Asked to play a role that is not his, or taken off before the hour once too often — Hernán López Muñoz has let it be known that he does not like the way Argentinos Juniors are using him. Managers hear this long before the press does.

Every touch is being weighed now, in print and everywhere else. Some players grow into that and some are quietly ruined by it, and nobody knows which in advance.

Hernán López Muñoz is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.28 with 5 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Match

Argentinos Juniors share the spoils with Rosario Central

A 2-2 draw with Rosario Central leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Brayan Cortés

There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Boardroom

167% of the income goes out in wages at Argentinos Juniors

Every club in football 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 somebody has tried it.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Diego Rodríguez

“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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Argentinos Juniors against Atlético Tucumán

0-1 to Atlético Tucumán, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Argentinos Juniors lose Joaquín Rivas

56 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad

The month belongs to Hernán López Muñoz

The award is a small thing with a heavy meaning: for four weeks nobody in this division did his job better. Argentinos Juniors have the trophy on a shelf and the player in the side.

Match

Argentinos Juniors bow out of the cup

All Boys go through and Argentinos Juniors go home, 0-1 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Market

Argentinos Juniors turn down Levante for Tomás Molina

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

Market

Iván Morales asks to leave Argentinos Juniors

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Brayan Cortés

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Argentinos Juniors dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Joaquín Ardaiz

“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.

Match

Argentinos Juniors through in the cup

A 1-1 win over Gimnasia y Tiro, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Squad

Brayan Cortés decides it from twelve yards

1 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Market

Córdoba come back empty-handed

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

Market

Facundo Barboza 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 Argentinos Juniors can pretend not to have heard.

Match

Argentinos Juniors get the job done against Barracas Central

A 2-1 win over Barracas Central, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Market

Al-Ahli watching Diego Porcel

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

Argentinos Juniors lose Kevin Coronel

21 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Iván Morales

“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.

Squad

Lautaro Giaccone finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Argentinos Juniors have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

Gabriel Florentin asks to leave Argentinos Juniors

Match

Argentinos Juniors share the spoils with Tigre

A 1-1 draw with Tigre leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad

Fernando Álvarez 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.

Squad

Brayan Cortés 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.

Market

Gabriel Rocha placed on the list

Argentinos Juniors have made Gabriel Rocha available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Matías Giménez Rojas 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 Argentinos Juniors can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Alan Lescano stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Alan Lescano and Argentinos Juniors agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market

Facundo Jainikoski moves on

Girona pay $890.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad

Enzo Pérez 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.

Market

Baniyas watching Gonzalo Siri

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.

Match

Honours even between Argentinos Juniors and Independiente Rivadavia

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