Market

Facundo Romeo 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 Oleksandriya can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Ahrobiznes are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Oleksandriya will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Stanislav Krystin

“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.

Squad

Ihor Ustynov 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 Oleksandriya, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

Fernando Henrique linked with a move away

The name of Fernando Henrique keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Oleksandriya say nothing, which says plenty.

Market

Roman Savchenko goes out on loan

The minutes were not coming at Oleksandriya, so he will look for them at Nyva. Everybody involved calls it development; for the player it is simply a chance to play.

Match

Oleksandriya march on in the cup

Epicentr are out and Oleksandriya go through, 1-0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Match

Oleksandriya cannot stop winning

3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Match

Oleksandriya find a way past Kryvbas

Kryvbas made Oleksandriya work for it, but the scoreboard read 2-1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Tedi Cara

“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.

Boardroom

Oleksandriya release $4.0M for the manager

The board have put money on the table rather than an encouraging word. What happens to it now is somebody else's problem, and somebody else's job.

Loan watch

Vladyslav Omelchenko has seen enough of Metalurh Zaporizhzhia

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Oleksandriya, and 0 appearances in 17 say he has earned the hearing.

Market

The Miguel Campos talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Oleksandriya know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Squad

A first senior shirt for Yevhen Usenko

Every debut is a small story about the future: Yevhen Usenko, 20 years old, off the academy pitches and into the first team. The parents in the stand will keep the programme.

Squad

Volodymyr Kvikvinia is off the mark for Oleksandriya

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.
