Mamuka Kobakhidze 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 The request is on a desk at Dinamo Batumi, and it is not being withdrawn.

The view from the top for Dinamo Batumi

25 points, and the rest of the division looking up. Every side that finishes first spends the season pretending it is not thinking about it, and this one has started pretending.

Dinamo Batumi say no — this time

The offer from Chikhura for Giorgi Putkaradze 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.

Door shut on Kirill Zinovich

Dinamo Batumi asked and Dinamo Makhachkala said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Words exchanged at Dinamo Batumi

Revaz Chiteishvili 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.

Danrley pulls a muscle — 14 days out

The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 14 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

Zugdidi are about to pick up the phone

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

Jefferson Baiano gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Wandson asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Guram Japaridze agrees terms with Zugdidi

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Dinamo Batumi people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market11 Jan 2027

Luka Kapianidze asks to leave Dinamo Batumi

“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.

Squad11 Jan 2027

A move Arthur 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. Arthur is living that version at Dinamo Batumi, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad11 Jan 2027

The step up is real for Guram Japaridze

At 21 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.

Giorgi Putkaradze attracts admirers

The name of Giorgi Putkaradze has come up in conversations Dinamo Batumi were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Irakli Azarovi 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 Dinamo Batumi this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Dinamo Batumi rebuffed over Alexander Djiku

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

Squad11 Jan 2027

Too much change too quickly at Dinamo Batumi

8 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Transfer targets11 Jan 2027

A loan move for Kirill Zinovich is in the works

Dinamo Batumi have made the call to Dinamo Makhachkala. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.
