Squad7 Sep 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Jan Knobloch

30 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Mlada Boleslav lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market7 Sep 2026

Martin Králik 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 Mlada Boleslav can pretend not to have heard.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Deadline passes with 3 signed and 4 gone

That is the business done at Mlada Boleslav until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Solomon John was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 23. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad7 Sep 2026

A falling-out at Mlada Boleslav

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

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Door shut on Eldar Šehić

Mlada Boleslav asked and Banik Ostrava said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

The terraces7 Sep 2026

One of their own: Christophe Kabongo

He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match5 Sep 2026

Mlada Boleslav find a way past Sigma Olomouc

Sigma Olomouc made Mlada Boleslav work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Jiří Klíma reaches 50 goals

50 goals for the club, every one of them filed away in the memory of a supporter somewhere.

Match8 Aug 2026

Lukáš Letenay wins it after the whistle should have gone

93 minutes played. Lukáš Letenay found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Bohemians 1905 went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Mlada Boleslav make their move for Patrik Vydra

$1.7M on the table at Sparta Prague. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

An offer of $1.4M for Jan Paluska

Mlada Boleslav have gone to Viktoria Plzen with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Mlada Boleslav go back to the board over Patrik Vydra

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $1.8M — a club that wants Patrik Vydra enough to be asked twice.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Solomon John was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 23. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Mlada Boleslav

Martin Králik 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.

The terraces10 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Christophe Kabongo

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match8 Aug 2026

Mlada Boleslav find a way past Bohemians 1905

Bohemians 1905 made Mlada Boleslav work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Adam Kadlec reaches 100 appearances

100 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.
