Squad

Real improvement from Dimitrije Janković at Novi Pazar

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

Squad

A late step up for Luka Bijelović

At 26 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Transfer targets

Egnatia Rrogozhinë tell Novi Pazar: Soumaïla Bakayoko 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Novi Pazar

Ivan Davidović 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.

Transfer targets

Novi Pazar try to borrow Rafał Adamski

Legia 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.

Transfer targets

Novi Pazar try to borrow Fodé Sylla

Basel 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.

Squad

Remember the name: Benjamin Gegić

He is 19, he is averaging 6.56, and older professionals have started passing to him in the difficult minutes. That last part is the real scouting report.

Market

Dominic Sadi 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 The request is on a desk at Novi Pazar, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Ajia Yakub is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Transfer targets

Rodina tell Novi Pazar: Kerfala Cissoko 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.

Squad

Abdulsamed Abdullahi 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Stefan Stanisavljević

“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.

Squad

A falling-out at Novi Pazar

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

Transfer targets

Novi Pazar ask about Matvey Lukin

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

Transfer targets

Novi Pazar ask about Anísio Cabral

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