From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market26 Jul 2027

Eduards Ciganovs has said yes to Metta/LU

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Jelgava have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market26 Jul 2027

The Spartaks deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Olegs Gabovs reports back to Jelgava with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Squad26 Jul 2027

A row about effort at Jelgava

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

Squad26 Jul 2027

A falling-out at Jelgava

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

The dugout26 Jul 2027

Aleksandrs Kamess 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 Jelgava, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Vladimirs Jagodinskis has had enough of the bench

“I did not come here to warm up in front of people.” He is out of contract eventually, he is old enough to count the weeks, and Jelgava will have to give him a reason to stay or an exit.

Squad19 Apr 2027

A fracture rules Aleksandrs Kamess out for 72 days

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

Match19 Apr 2027

Nobody above Jelgava

First, on 9 points. The table is a fact and a fact is allowed to be enjoyed, which is as far as anybody at the club is prepared to go in public.

Player ratings19 Apr 2027

Ylane Cherif goes up and wins it — 7.38

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.38 for the rest of it.

Squad19 Apr 2027

A row about effort at Jelgava

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

The terraces19 Apr 2027

One of their own: Ylane Cherif

He is 22 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.

Match17 Apr 2027

Ylane Cherif the difference as Jelgava beat Skonto

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Ylane Cherif. 1‑0 against Skonto, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

The dugout19 Apr 2027

No hiding place for Aleksandrs Kamess

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

Player ratings19 Apr 2027

Williams Wonah runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad19 Apr 2027

Words exchanged at Jelgava

Stanley Nnaemeka and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

In brief

  • Player ratings Nobody on the pitch touched Raivis Zjuzins
  • Squad 5 new faces, and Jelgava are still learning each other
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict

Transfer targets8 Feb 2027

Abu-Said Eldarushev turns down Jelgava

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

Squad8 Feb 2027

A falling-out at Jelgava

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

Squad8 Feb 2027

Words at Jelgava training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Samir Memišević 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 targets8 Feb 2027

Jelgava rebuffed over Nikita Simdyankin

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

Squad8 Feb 2027

Ylane Cherif signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Ylane Cherif commits to Jelgava for another 4 years.

The dugout8 Feb 2027

Raivis Zjuzins has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Jelgava will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad8 Feb 2027

A season on the outside for Solomon Obed

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Jelgava has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

The dugout8 Feb 2027

Davis Jurkovskis 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 Davis Jurkovskis trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market8 Feb 2027

Aleksandrs Dubra leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Aleksandrs Dubra leaves Jelgava the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

In brief
