From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

56 days out for Lionel Carole after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Kayserispor will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Match

4 matches without a win for Kayserispor

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Kayserispor are no longer polite ones.

Transfer targets

No deal for Deniz Türüç at that price

Kayserispor offered $780.0K; Konyaspor said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Squad

Words at Kayserispor training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Fedor Chalov 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

Kayserispor rebuffed over Leandro Godoy

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

Player ratings

Fedor Chalov in the eights

A performance of 8.20 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

The dugout

Rafael Galhardo 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Kayserispor

Enes Tayfun 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

Yael Trepy makes the team of the month

Four or five weekends of consistency, measured against everybody else in the division. A quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

A fracture rules Lionel Carole out for 65 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Kayserispor will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Bilal Bayazıt

There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market

Rafael Galhardo asks to leave Kayserispor

“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.

Transfer targets

Medical ends the Victor Gidado deal

Everything was agreed with Gaziantep and then the doctor spoke. Kayserispor have walked away from a signing on the advice of somebody who never saw him play, which is how it is supposed to work.

Boardroom

Deadline passes with 3 signed and 3 gone

That is the business done at Kayserispor 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.

Transfer targets

Kayserispor make their move for Deniz Türüç

$780.0K on the table at Konyaspor. 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 targets

Alex Bruno turns down Kayserispor

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Plaza Colonia keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Transfer targets

Kayserispor rebuffed over Michael Ologo

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

Loan watch

Deniz Dönmezer counts the days

“I watch every Kayserispor game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Giresunspor runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

In brief

Player ratings

Both of them Fedor Chalov's — 9.67

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.67, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Transfer targets

Antalyaspor tell Kayserispor: Doğukan Sinik 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.

Player ratings

Burak Kapacak runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Fredrik Sjøvold 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.

Match

Fedor Chalov the difference as Kayserispor beat Hatayspor

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Fedor Chalov. 3‑1 against Hatayspor, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

Tempers go at Kayserispor

Talha Sarıarslan 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.

The terraces

One of their own: Fredrik Sjøvold

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.

Player ratings

One of those days for Miguel Cardoso

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.05, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

The dugout

Alper Omur: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 3‑1, already talking about the next one.
