Market10 Jul 2028

Albert Masson has said yes to Daugavpils

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

Skonto turn down Jelgava for Alvis Cauna

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

Niko Barikhashvili 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 The request is on a desk at Skonto, and it is not being withdrawn.

Hylan Halamski has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Skonto they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Transfer targets10 Jul 2028

An offer of $370.0K for Reinis Reinholds

Skonto have gone to Ventspils with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Dion Sanderson 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.

Skonto rebuffed over Timofey Mitrov

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

Ghali Falke 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 Skonto this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Skonto try to borrow Janko Jevremović

Partizan 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.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Roberts Jurkovskis breaks a bone — 26 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 26 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Transfer targets7 Jun 2027

Skonto agree $5.0K for Vitalijs Cauna

The clubs have shaken hands with Jelgava; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Match5 Jun 2027

Still nobody has beaten Skonto

The unbeaten run reaches 8. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Market7 Jun 2027

Liepaja come back empty-handed

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

Match5 Jun 2027

No end in sight to Skonto's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Skonto has to find a result from somewhere.

Ghali Falke 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 Skonto this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings7 Jun 2027

Ghali Falke beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 21. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Albert Masson arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Albert Masson has, at Skonto, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Skonto rebuffed over Raivis Skrebels

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