Market

Terms done: Vasyl Hakman is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Probiy waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Bukovyna is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Squad

A move Lucas Macedo 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. Lucas Macedo is living that version at Bukovyna, and it tends to show in the first month.

Transfer targets

Illia Skrypnyk due for a Bukovyna medical

Everything agreed with another club, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad

Tempers go at Bukovyna

Viacheslav Tankovskyi 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.

Market

Business is business: Vitalii Koltsov goes

Vorskla paid $280.0K and Bukovyna took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Match

Nyva take the points off Bukovyna

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market

Bukovyna promote Artem Tymchyk from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Artem Tymchyk 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

One of our own: Vasyl Rebrov joins the Bukovyna first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Vasyl Rebrov is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Danylo Kanevtsev

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Vladyslav Babanin

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

Market

Livyi Bereh come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Probiy did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Maksym Kovalenko keeps Probiy in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

Probiy count the cost of losing Bohdan Orynchak

43 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Vasyl Hakman

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Probiy have done the hard part with Bukovyna, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Transfer targets

Omelian Wiliam Chubak turns down Probiy

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

Squad

Adrien stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Adrien and Probiy agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Illia Karavashchenko

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

Market

Probiy promote Oleksiy Sobol from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Oleksiy Sobol 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

Vladyslav Felipovych 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 Probiy can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Andrii Bliznichenko signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Andrii Bliznichenko commits to Probiy for another 2 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Probiy

Andrii Fesenko 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

Probiy rebuffed over Lautaro Palacios

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

Market

A stepping stone, not a home, for Adrien

He is doing his job and he is not settling. Probiy were supposed to be a step up in his own reckoning, and his own reckoning has been adjusted since he arrived.

Match

A bad afternoon for Probiy against Ahrobiznes

0‑1 to Ahrobiznes, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

No hiding place for Volodymyr Radulskyi

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Volodymyr Radulskyi, and the manager let it.

Squad

Adrien is a square peg at Probiy

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Market

Talks stall between Probiy and Andrii Bliznichenko

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

In brief

  • Squad 7 new faces, and Probiy are still learning each other
  • The dugout Ivan Shakhov faces the questions
  • Transfer targets A loan move for Vasyl Hakman is in the works
