Squad

The knee: Alex Galo out for 94 days

94 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Spaeri lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Transfer targets

Spaeri bid $570.0K for Mohamed Cherif

The offer went to Torpedo Kutaisi this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Boardroom

Spaeri go back to the board over Mohamed Cherif

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $799.6K — a club that wants Mohamed Cherif enough to be asked twice.

Squad

Tempers go at Spaeri

Guram Kashia 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.

Squad

This league is too small for Nika Kvekveskiri

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Spaeri will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Market

Talks stall between Spaeri and Alex Galo

“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.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Spaeri

19 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Transfer targets

Spaeri try to borrow Benjamín Bravo

Patronato 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.

Market

Igor Feijão joins Spaeri to strengthen the squad

Nobody sells a season ticket on a signing like this. Every manager who has been through a bad October wants one anyway, and Spaeri have gone and got theirs early.

In brief
