The Diosgyor Courier
Boardroom1 Feb 2027
Diosgyor close the window on a squad of their own making
1 in and 2 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

A falling-out at Diosgyor
Uroš Ignjatović and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Door shut on Dominik Kocsis
Diosgyor asked and Debrecen said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Derick Ogbu stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Derick Ogbu and Diosgyor agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Diosgyor ask about Benedek Murka
A loan enquiry to Fehervar: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Diosgyor try to borrow Botond Vajda
Debrecen have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Blendi Idrizi knocks on the manager’s door
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Blendi Idrizi trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
Squad1 Feb 2027
A promotion for Oleksandr Saputin
Not a new contract, not a new number: a new place in the manager’s thinking, which is the only promotion in football that actually matters. Oleksandr Saputin has moved up it.

Bence Babos 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.
In brief

- Market Joel Fameyeh linked with a move away
- The dugout Márk Tamás has been promised minutes
