Market

Narva Trans sell their best player to Paide

$1.0M is a serious amount of money and it does not play centre-forward. Everybody in the dressing room knows who used to be looked at when it went wrong.

Market

Narva Trans turn down Paide for Josué Doké

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

The terraces

Supporters turn on the $1.0M sale of Ahmad Gero

He is going to Paide, the club has $1.0M 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.

The dugout

Luiz Eduardo says Narva Trans went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Transfer targets

Nikita Chagrov due for a Narva Trans medical

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

Transfer targets

Narva Trans baulk at the price for Remo Valdmets

Flora wanted more than $8.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Squad

Macarrão wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Narva Trans know it.

Transfer targets

Narva Trans rebuffed over Daniil Sotšugov

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

Squad

A row about effort at Narva Trans

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

Match

Chastening afternoon for Narva Trans

A 0‑3 beating by Nomme Kalju was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Market

Flora come back empty-handed

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

Market

Aleksandr Jegorov asks to leave Narva Trans

“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

The paperwork begins on Rasmus Kallas

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

The dugout

Boardroom

Narva Trans beat the market to Evgeniy Sanyukovich from Nomme Kalju

Nomme Kalju will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Evgeniy Sanyukovich has pre-agreed a move to Narva Trans, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Transfer targets

Narva Trans rebuffed over Aleksandr Nikolajev

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

The dugout

No hiding place for Daniil Pareiko

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

Squad

Mark Maksimkin 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

Flora come back empty-handed

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

Market

Elysée puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Narva Trans, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

Luiz Eduardo says Narva Trans went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Eriks Santos wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Narva Trans know it.

Transfer targets

Levadia tell Narva Trans: Maksim Pavlov 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.

Market

Narva Trans sell Denis Poliakov for $2.0K

Denis Poliakov has left for FCI Tallinn in a $2.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad

A falling-out at Narva Trans

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

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Josué Doké

At 23 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.

Match

Narva Trans get the job done against FCI Tallinn

A 1‑0 win over FCI Tallinn, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

In brief

  • Player ratings Nobody could get near Idalécio Dias
  • Player ratings Josué Doké was on a different afternoon to everybody else
  • Squad Words at Narva Trans training over how hard people work

Squad

48 days out for Idalécio Dias after a fracture

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

Transfer targets

Anton Mitryushkin turns down Narva Trans

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

Squad

Cristian Campagna in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Narva Trans this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Narva Trans rebuffed over Ilja Kuptsov

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

Squad

A row about effort at Narva Trans

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

Squad

Macarrão stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Macarrão and Narva Trans agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout

Mark Maksimkin knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Narva Trans, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

Narva Trans shop where it costs nothing

João Varanda signs, and the fee column stays empty. Deals like this look small in July and clever by March — or they are never mentioned again.
