From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market19 Jul 2027

Ruslan Shagiakhmetov puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Volga, and it is not being withdrawn.

Dmitry Tikhiy 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.

Krasnodar tell Volga: Daniil Golikov 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.

A falling-out at Volga

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

The terraces19 Jul 2027

The crowd has taken to Ruslan Shagiakhmetov

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

The dugout19 Jul 2027

The manager makes an example of Bogdan Romanov

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings19 Jul 2027

Artur Murza was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 17. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Market19 Jul 2027

Spartak Nalchik expected to open talks for Aidar Khabibullin

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Volga will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Transfer targets19 Jul 2027

Volga ask about Maxim Shichanin

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

Back issues

The Spartak Kostroma Gazette

12 Jul 2027
From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad12 Jul 2027

Kirill Sechkin damages knee ligaments — 93 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 93 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.

Market12 Jul 2027

Ivan Yenin says no to Nart

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Ivan Yenin had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Market12 Jul 2027

Anatoly Nemchenko is on his way

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

Market12 Jul 2027

Mironshoh Shonazarov 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 Spartak Kostroma can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets12 Jul 2027

Pavel Golubkov will not be coming to Spartak Kostroma

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Rodina is saying, and nobody at Spartak Kostroma is enjoying the guessing.

Squad12 Jul 2027

Tempers go at Spartak Kostroma

Amur Kalmykov 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.

Squad12 Jul 2027

Real improvement from David Kirakosyan at Spartak Kostroma

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. David Kirakosyan is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Transfer targets12 Jul 2027

Spartak Kostroma rebuffed over Danil Kuznetsov

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

Market12 Jul 2027

Business is business: Ilja Mescheryakov goes

Volga paid $25.0K and Spartak Kostroma took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.
