Scoring charts

Saliou Guindo tops the scoring charts

Nobody in the division bettered it last month: 2 goals in 5 appearances for Dinamo City.

Scoring charts

The month belonged to David Atanaskoski

Marked 6.94 across it, 0 goals and assists between them, and no serious argument from anybody else in the division. Partizani Tirana have had the whole benefit of a month somebody else will spend the summer trying to buy.

Scoring charts

The division's brightest kid this month plays for Partizani Tirana

Arafat Masoud was marked 6.78 and had a hand in 1 goals. Every recruitment department in the country now has a file open, and the club that has him knows exactly what that means.

Market

Basilio Basilio 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 Tirana can pretend not to have heard.

Scoring charts

Rabiu Abdullahi leads the division for assists — 6.84

The chart that decides who the scorers ought to be thanking. 2 of them made by a Bylis player marked 6.84, and not one will be in the montage at the end of the season.

Market

Only the photograph left for Etienne Tare

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Etienne Tare will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Tirana the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Scoring charts

Highest marks in the league belong to a Egnatia Rrogozhinë man

Guillem Jaime averaged 7.30 over 5 appearances. Nothing about that will trend, and anybody who watched all four games would tell you it was the most accurate thing on this page.

Scoring charts

Bernard Berisha up among the month's scorers

A productive month at Dinamo City — 1 goals from 5 appearances, and a place near the top of the charts.

Scoring charts

Edon Murataj makes the list

5 appearances, 2 goals, and a place among the division's leading scorers for the month. Strikers measure a season in exactly these lines.

Scoring charts

Sékou Sidibé makes the list

5 appearances, 1 goals, and a place among the division's leading scorers for the month. Strikers measure a season in exactly these lines.

Scoring charts

Still scoring: Kevin Dodaj

1 in 5 for Vllaznia Shkodër. Nobody outside his own ground is talking about him, which tends to be true of everybody on this list except the man at the top of it.

Market

The Serxho Prendi question follows Tirana around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Serxho Prendi’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Scoring charts

Afonso Rodrigues tops the scoring charts

Nobody in the division bettered it last month: 2 goals in 3 appearances for Egnatia Rrogozhinë.

Scoring charts

Aldo Teqja is the division's player of the month — 6.89

A club's paper reports this as one of its own being honoured. On this page it is what it actually is: a verdict on everybody who played, and it went to a Dinamo City man on 6.89 with 0 goal contributions.

Scoring charts

The division's brightest kid this month plays for Teuta Durrës

Amer Kthupi was marked 7.10 and had a hand in 1 goals. Every recruitment department in the country now has a file open, and the club that has him knows exactly what that means.

Market

Amos Nondi 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 Partizani Tirana can pretend not to have heard.

Scoring charts

Klejdi Daci leads the division for assists — 7.18

The chart that decides who the scorers ought to be thanking. 2 of them made by a Teuta Durrës player marked 7.18, and not one will be in the montage at the end of the season.

Market

Tirana turn down Partizani Tirana for Etienne Tare

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

Market

Alessandro Bolzan has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Flamurtari they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Scoring charts

Highest marks in the league belong to a Egnatia Rrogozhinë man

Afonso Rodrigues averaged 7.47 over 3 appearances. Nothing about that will trend, and anybody who watched all four games would tell you it was the most accurate thing on this page.

Market

So close: Soumaïla Bakayoko’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Tirana moved on, Soumaïla Bakayoko reports back to Egnatia Rrogozhinë, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Scoring charts

Robert Murić is right behind him

1 goals in 4 appearances for Bylis, and a chart that would look very different if two of them had gone in off the post instead of past it.

Scoring charts

Vagner Gonçalves Nogueira is right behind him

1 goals in 4 appearances for Teuta Durrës, and a chart that would look very different if two of them had gone in off the post instead of past it.

Scoring charts

Pedro Martelo is right behind him

1 goals in 1 appearances for SV Ried, and a chart that would look very different if two of them had gone in off the post instead of past it.

Scoring charts

Nobody scored more than Sékou Sidibé

The month closes with Sékou Sidibé out in front — 1 goals in 1 games, and Partizani Tirana have the division's most feared finisher.

Market

Herald Marku asks to leave Flamurtari

“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.

Scoring charts

Rowan Human leads the division for assists — 7.59

The chart that decides who the scorers ought to be thanking. 1 of them made by a Partizani Tirana player marked 7.59, and not one will be in the montage at the end of the season.

Market

Tirana come back empty-handed

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

Market

Besar Guxhufi’s move to Flamurtari falls through

The deal that would have taken Besar Guxhufi to Flamurtari has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Partizani Tirana with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Market

Egnatia Rrogozhinë are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Teuta Durrës will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Scoring charts

Serge Tabékou makes the list

1 appearances, 1 goals, and a place among the division's leading scorers for the month. Strikers measure a season in exactly these lines.

Scoring charts

Lorenco Vila up among the month's scorers

A productive month at Dinamo City — 1 goals from 1 appearances, and a place near the top of the charts.

Scoring charts

Bernard Berisha keeps making them — 1 this month

7.51 for a Dinamo City player whose contribution is measured entirely in other people's celebrations. The providers' chart is the one nobody frames and everybody in a dressing room reads.

Jacques Fokam Sandeu puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Bylis, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

The Vllaznia Shkodër deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Pedro Martelo reports back to Teuta Durrës with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Dinamo City say no — this time

The offer from Bylis for Mustapha Koma was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Gentian Selmani attracts admirers

The name of Gentian Selmani has come up in conversations Teuta Durrës were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Talks stall between Vllaznia Shkodër and Jamal Dibirgadjiev

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Only the photograph left for Donat Mehmeti

Still no ink between Egnatia Rrogozhinë and Toni Frau

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Egnatia Rrogozhinë, another week without a signature from Toni Frau.

Rowan Human tops the scoring charts

Nobody in the division bettered it last month: 3 goals in 4 appearances for Partizani Tirana.

Scoring charts

Rowan Human is the division's player of the month — 7.92

A club's paper reports this as one of its own being honoured. On this page it is what it actually is: a verdict on everybody who played, and it went to a Partizani Tirana man on 7.92 with 4 goal contributions.

The division's brightest kid this month plays for Bylis

Fabjan Përndreca was marked 6.73 and had a hand in 0 goals. Every recruitment department in the country now has a file open, and the club that has him knows exactly what that means.

Scoring charts

Nobody made more than Laorent Shabani this month

2 assists, 7.18, and a Partizani Tirana player who spent four weekends being the reason somebody else's name went in the paper. It is the least-rewarded skill in football and the easiest one to notice its absence.

Scoring charts

Rowan Human is the division's best-marked player — 7.92

The chart that catches everybody a goal tally never will: the centre-half who was immense for four weekends, the holding midfielder nobody outside his own ground has heard of. 7.92 across 4 matches for Partizani Tirana.

Sokol Uldedaj is on his way

Teuta Durrës put Vagner Gonçalves Nogueira up for sale

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