Market

MSK Zilina come back empty-handed

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

Boardroom

Deadline passes with 0 signed and 0 gone

That is the business done at FK Senica until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Squad

Words exchanged at FK Senica

Filip Duris 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.

Squad

Words at FK Senica training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Michal Strelec 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 targets

Viktoria Plzen tell FK Senica: Matyáš Šilhavý 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.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Timofey Kashintsev is in the works

FK Senica have made the call to Neftekhimik. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Transfer targets

FK Senica ask about Adam Paar

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

The dugout

David Valjent asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

The Michal Strelec story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Michal Strelec signs something — a contract at FK Senica or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Market

Filip Benes sold, and an era ends

$2.2M from DAC Dunajska Streda for Filip Benes. Money is money, but the dressing room has lost the man it looked to.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Lukas Kucka

26 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. FK Senica lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

FK Senica say no — this time

The offer from Slovan Bratislava for Michal Strelec 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.

The terraces

FK Senica sell a favourite for $2.2M

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Filip Benes was one of the reasons people came, and $2.2M does not replace that by itself.

Transfer targets

FK Senica make their move for Patrik Filippov

$190.0K on the table at Podbrezova. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad

Words exchanged at FK Senica

Filip Duris 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.

Squad

A move Štěpán Kindlmann 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. Štěpán Kindlmann is living that version at FK Senica, and it tends to show in the first month.

Match

FK Senica come up short against Podbrezova

Podbrezova left with the points after a 2‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Transfer targets

Podbrezova tell FK Senica: Ousman Kujabi 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.

In brief

  • Squad A row about effort at FK Senica
  • The dugout No hiding place for Jiří Bederka
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
