Nika Gagnidze 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 The request is on a desk at Kolos, and it is not being withdrawn.

Kolos say no — this time
The offer from Metalurh Zaporizhzhia for Elias Telles was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Vitalii Katrych has said yes to Chernihiv
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Kolos have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Nika Gagnidze frozen out at Kolos
This is not rotation. Nika Gagnidze has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Kolos is pretending otherwise.

An offer of $150.0K for Volodymyr Mulyk
Kolos have gone to Kryvbas with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Door shut on Oleksii Hutsuliak
Kolos asked and Shakhtar said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Alaa Ghram back under a manager who knows him
The new man at Kolos has worked with Alaa Ghram before and it went well. He arrives with a view of the player already formed, which is worth more than any pre-season.
