Yaw Moses is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Imishli is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

A row about effort at Imishli

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

Goiás tell Imishli: Matheus Vargas is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Boardroom11 Jun 2029

Embargo at Imishli

No fees may be paid for anybody, whatever the squad needs. Every rumour about this club until it lifts is a rumour about a deal that cannot be done.

Squad11 Jun 2029

Words exchanged at Imishli

Xəzər Mahmudov 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.

Imishli try to borrow Rodrigo Rodrigues

Coritiba 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.

Antônio Villa 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 Imishli, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Andrey Sinenko linked with a move away

The name of Andrey Sinenko keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Imishli say nothing, which says plenty.

International call for Andrey Sinenko

Andrey Sinenko joins up with his country. Imishli lose him for the window and would like him back in one piece.

Squad28 May 2029

A falling-out at Imishli

Andrey Sinenko and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad28 May 2029

A move Leonardo Franchetti Rosada would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Leonardo Franchetti Rosada is living that version at Imishli, and it tends to show in the first month.

Boardroom28 May 2029

Imishli agree a free transfer for Vüsal Qənbərov

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Squad28 May 2029

Rayne 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.

Boardroom28 May 2029

Imishli are $34.1M in the red

The borrowing is past what the bank agreed, which is the line where a debt stops being how football is financed and starts being a problem. Every phone-in in this town will quote the figure for the next five years.

The dugout28 May 2029

Imishli keep their word to Tuncay Cəfərli

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

Market28 May 2029

Imishli add cover with Hassan Ibrahim

It is the least glamorous business a club does and the reason seasons do not collapse in February. Hassan Ibrahim is here for the weeks when three men are injured and somebody still has to play.

The dugout28 May 2029

Juninho has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Juninho has written the date down.

Squad28 May 2029

Somebody is after Realdo Fili’s shirt

A new face in his position, and Realdo Fili suddenly has to win back what he thought he owned. Imishli have promised nothing — clubs rarely do at this stage.
