No thanks: Tomás Galván rejects the move

Ravenna had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at River Plate, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Words exchanged at Ravenna

Daniele Casiraghi 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.

Giovanni Zaro 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.

No thanks: Jorge De Asis rejects the move

Ravenna had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Gimnasia La Plata, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Daniele Casiraghi 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 Ravenna this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Cristiano Bani stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Cristiano Bani and Ravenna agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

One of our own: Flavio Sala joins the Ravenna first team

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

Manuel Peretti steps up from the Ravenna academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Manuel Peretti has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Salvatore Lombardo steps up from the Ravenna academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Salvatore Lombardo has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Luciano Sanhueza is a square peg at Ravenna

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Ravenna try to borrow Tomás Galván

River Plate have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Giovanni Zaro signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Giovanni Zaro and Ravenna agree another 2 years.

Tempers go at Ravenna

Daniele Casiraghi 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.

Words at Ravenna training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Giovanni Zaro 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.

Ravenna rebuffed over Agustín Paz

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

The clock runs on Giovanni Zaro's contract

24 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.

Ravenna and Stefano Okaka are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Ravenna ask about Jorge De Asis

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

5 new faces, and Ravenna are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Ravenna bring in an old head

Leonardo Pérez is 36 and has run out of things to prove. What he has left is where to stand, when to slow it down and what to say at half-time, and none of that is on a fitness chart.
