Match

Nomme Kalju out of the cup

Welco ended it 1‑2. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

The terraces

Supporters turn on the $310.0K sale of Kristjan Kask

He is going to Vaprus, the club has $310.0K it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Rommi Siht at 20 — 7.60

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Rommi Siht did not need any: 7.60, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

A falling-out at Nomme Kalju

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

Market

Kristjan Kask moves on

Vaprus pay $310.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Player ratings

Both jobs done by Daniil Sotšugov — 6.91

A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 13 actions, 6.91, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.

Transfer targets

Nõmme United tell Nomme Kalju: Benjamine Chisala 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

A row about effort at Nomme Kalju

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Aleksandr Nikolajev was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Nomme Kalju dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Market

Nomme Kalju say no — this time

The offer from Flora for Kristjan Kask 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.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Crysthyan rejects the move

Nomme Kalju had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Londrina, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Boardroom

Kristjan Kask signs for Flora while still at Nomme Kalju

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Kristjan Kask has agreed terms with Flora for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad

Tempers go at Nomme Kalju

Bogdan Vaštšuk 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.

Transfer targets

Nomme Kalju rebuffed over Rauno Sappinen

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

Squad

Modou Tambedou 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.

Market

Sander Klavan steps up from the Nomme Kalju academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Sander Klavan has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

Nomme Kalju promote Nikita Mets from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Nikita Mets has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Markus Dmitrijev steps up from the Nomme Kalju academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Markus Dmitrijev has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
