The Istra 1961 Post

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market11 Jan 2027

Lokomotiva Zagreb come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Istra 1961 did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market11 Jan 2027

HNK Gorica watching Samuli Miettinen

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Istra 1961 have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Door shut on Dominik Livaković

Istra 1961 asked and Barcelona 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 falling-out at Istra 1961

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

Transfer targets11 Jan 2027

A loan move for Dante Stipica is in the works

Istra 1961 have made the call to Hajduk Split. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

A loan move for Miro is in the works

Istra 1961 have made the call to Dinamo Makhachkala. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

When it matters, Vinko Rozić plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Istra 1961 put Antonio Maurić up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Antonio Maurić may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

The dugout11 Jan 2027

Antonio Maurić 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 Istra 1961, and both men came out saying it was fine.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Franko Kolić 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 Istra 1961 can pretend not to have heard.

Emil Frederiksen keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Istra 1961 may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

HNK Rijeka watching Ivan Šaranić

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Istra 1961 have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Mateo Čupić due for a Istra 1961 medical

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

Istra 1961 rebuffed over Dino Špehar

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Segesta have kept their man, and Istra 1961 go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Words exchanged at Istra 1961

Samuli Miettinen 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.

Market4 Jan 2027

No place for Josip Radošević in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Josip Radošević has his answer from Istra 1961; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Words at Istra 1961 training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Daouda Doumbia 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 targets4 Jan 2027

Istra 1961 ask about Pavle Smiljanić

A loan enquiry to Lokomotiva Zagreb: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.
