Matej Grahovac due for a Kustosija medical

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

Squad17 Jul 2028

Words exchanged at Kustosija

Tomislav Krizmanić 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.

Market17 Jul 2028

Kustosija get their man

The chase for Adrian Pudić ended with $24.0K changing hands and Sesvete out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Squad17 Jul 2028

Words at Kustosija training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Umaro Embaló 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 targets17 Jul 2028

Kustosija rebuffed over Juan José Córdoba

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

Transfer targets17 Jul 2028

Kustosija try to borrow Matej Gagulić

NK Osijek 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.

The dugout17 Jul 2028

Messias has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Kustosija 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.

The dugout17 Jul 2028

Saša Domić 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 Saša Domić trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market17 Jul 2028

Talks stall between Kustosija and Daniel James

“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.

Squad20 Mar 2028

Antun Marković damages knee ligaments — 89 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 89 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market20 Mar 2028

Đivo Pregelj 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 Kustosija can pretend not to have heard.

Squad20 Mar 2028

Tempers go at Kustosija

Tomislav Krizmanić 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.

Squad20 Mar 2028

A muscle injury and 15 days out for Kristijan Lovrić

The most common injury in the game and the most rushed back from. Kustosija will quote 15 days and will be careful with it, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Squad20 Mar 2028

Sulejman Seitkhalilov 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. Sulejman Seitkhalilov has, at Kustosija, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

The dugout20 Mar 2028

Enzo gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout20 Mar 2028

Jakov Miholić gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Jakov Miholić is on it.

The dugout20 Mar 2028

Saša Domić 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 Kustosija, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market20 Mar 2028

The Adiele Eriugo question follows Kustosija around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Adiele Eriugo’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.
