I’m slipping. I meant to post this the other day in case anyone missed it on the Offside main page. World Soccer Magazine put out their list of the 50 greatest derbies in the world, and Newell’s-Central made the list at 29.

Newell’s Old Boys is playing in the final of the Mundialito Sub 15 against Venezuela’s U15 team. All the other teams that I saw were club sides, so I am not sure how they wind up getting a Selection, but OK.
The final is tomorrow (I think) in some port city in Venezuela (I forget [...]

Ok, Claudio Husain played in the scrimmage against Tiro Federal this morning. Interesting because all indications were that he was on the way out. Maybe just due to the lack of bodies?
On the new player front, Caruso decided to pass on Pinto, but signed Monsalvo, who doesn’t inspire confidence. He last played [...]

Roman Martinez, midfielder, who Caruso coached during his stint (successful, by the way) at Tigre has been denied the chance to go to Italy and play for Napoli due to a problem with his passport. Caruso is determined to get him now, and if he can sell Sa-sa or Spolli, then I think he [...]

Now that Gutierrez has decided to leave the team (I think to newly promoted San Martin de Tucuman - which is only fair, because German Caffa, our new keeper just came from there) we need another keeper. And so Barreto is back from Cerro Porteno. He was part of the silver medal Paraguayan [...]

I just found out that Monsalvo, our possible fourth signing, hasn’t been signed by a team since March. What the heck? Both he and Pinto own their own pass, so that means they are essentially freebies. I’m not upset by Pinto. He had a decent run with Boca and played like [...]

Today, two more reinforcements arrived, although not names on Caruso’s wish list. Both are midfielders. Gustavo Pinto, who debuted with Boca and played quite a few games with them before heading off for Russia and then Ecuador. He is lately of descended Olimpo.
Accompanying Pinto is center mid Pablo Monsalvo, whose last Argentine [...]

Please sign somebody!! I’ve got to call BS on something Caruso said. He told the press that there have been no deals because Lopez is sick. What a load of crap.
Apparently, Pillud (d) and Armani (s) are on the way. There is an agreement between the clubs (Tiro Federal) and they [...]

Ok, Salcedo missed his fourth practice in a row. Looks like someone wants to play for River.
In other business, Paraguayan Ernesto Cristaldo is in a holding pattern. Newell’s needs to sell in order to buy, but it looks like this one should get done. He plays on the left side and is [...]

Seems like la lepra have to sell to buy. River is still salivating at getting their hands on Salcedo, but they are still choking on the $9 million price tag. Word is that Spolli has an offer and NOB will have an agreement in the next few days with Real Betis. Not [...]
