Erjon Shera asks to leave Pogradeci
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Tempers go at Pogradeci
Precious Agwu 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.

Door shut on Eslit Sala
Pogradeci asked and Flamurtari said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

A row about effort at Pogradeci
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Ekene Olisema was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Harrison Jiakponna is a square peg at Pogradeci
The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

This league is too small for Ekene Olisema
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. Pogradeci will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Still no ink between Pogradeci and Ekene Olisema
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Pogradeci, another week without a signature from Ekene Olisema.

Pogradeci ask about Grei Kuqi
A loan enquiry to Teuta Durrës: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Pogradeci buy the years ahead of Ersi Gjoni
He is 18, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.
In brief
- Looking ahead A reunion for Harrison Jiakponna
- Market Pogradeci shop where it costs nothing
- Looking ahead An away day at Laçi next for Pogradeci
