Squad

The step up is real for Giorgi Peradze

At 19 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad

A row about effort at Samtredia

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

Squad

Régis is not the player he was

It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph a local paper has to write. 37 years old, 3 points down on where he was, and a body that has started charging interest on a career.

In brief

  • The dugout Eric Barrios has become a man the manager trusts

Squad

Tempers go at Samtredia

Eric Barrios 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.

Squad

Julen Cordero 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.

Squad

14 new faces, and Samtredia 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.

In brief

  • Squad A season on the outside for Régis
  • The dugout Régis keeps his manager's vote

Squad

Words exchanged at Samtredia

Eric Barrios 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.

Squad

Words at Samtredia training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Tato Zhividze 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.

Boardroom

Wages swallow 475% of the Samtredia 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

Régis needs a bigger stage

He is doing things every Saturday that nobody around him can answer. It is flattering for a season and a problem after that, and Samtredia know which stage they are at.

Boardroom

Samtredia counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Samtredia now.

Market

Talks stall between Samtredia and Régis

“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.
