Transfer targets

Paulo Roberto will not be coming to Samgurali Tskaltubo

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Vitória is saying, and nobody at Samgurali Tskaltubo is enjoying the guessing.

Transfer targets

Samtredia tell Samgurali Tskaltubo: Giorgi Kveladze is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Tempers go at Samgurali Tskaltubo

Luiz Miguel 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.

Boardroom

Samgurali Tskaltubo beat the market to Dachi Tsnobiladze from Sioni

Sioni will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Dachi Tsnobiladze has pre-agreed a move to Samgurali Tskaltubo, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Squad

Words at Samgurali Tskaltubo training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Fabian Volpi 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.

Transfer targets

Samgurali Tskaltubo ask about Miguel Terceros

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

Transfer targets

A loan move for Mamady Cissé is in the works

Samgurali Tskaltubo have made the call to Atlético Mineiro. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Market

Samgurali Tskaltubo put Gean Rodrigues up for sale

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

Squad

A season on the outside for Edu

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Samgurali Tskaltubo has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

A move Gabriel Lima would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Gabriel Lima is living that version at Samgurali Tskaltubo, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Arsen Siukaev signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Arsen Siukaev commits to Samgurali Tskaltubo for another 3 years.

Squad

Vinicius wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Samgurali Tskaltubo can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Squad

Luka Kutaladze 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 Samgurali Tskaltubo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Vitão

Samgurali Tskaltubo asked and Brasil de Pelotas said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

Samgurali Tskaltubo and Edu 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.

Market

36 months and counting on Arsen Siukaev

Still no offer on the table, and Arsen Siukaev’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Transfer targets

Samgurali Tskaltubo ask about Rokenedy

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

Transfer targets

Samgurali Tskaltubo ask about Isaac

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

The Uberlândia Gazette

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A falling-out at Uberlândia

Jonatas Paulista and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Victor Lopes chose the glass-half-full version of 0‑0; the supporters left with the other one.

Match

Uberlândia and Monte Azul cancel each other out

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

The dugout

Jonatas Paulista does not fit this one

Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.

Squad

The armband goes to Jonatas Paulista

A strip of cloth that decides nothing on the pitch and tells the dressing room whose opinion counts. The manager has made a statement without making one.

Market

Edu leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Edu leaves Uberlândia the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

Market

Lazarini leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Lazarini leaves Uberlândia the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

Market

Jeferson Parrudo leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Jeferson Parrudo leaves Uberlândia the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

Market

Jacó leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Jacó leaves Uberlândia the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.
