Boardroom

Skonto lift the trophy

The season a town measures the next twenty against. The trophy comes home with the squad, and the route through the streets was agreed days ago.

Squad

The knee: Davis Kamess out for 91 days

91 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Skonto lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad

Gatis Kamess in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Skonto this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Marcis Stolcers 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.

Squad

Eduards Ciganovs stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Eduards Ciganovs and Skonto agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Loan watch

Raivis Vanins has seen enough of Metta/LU

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Skonto, and 0 appearances in 10 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

Davis Kamess damages knee ligaments — 132 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 132 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.

Squad

A falling-out at Skonto

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

Loan watch

Marcis Jagodinskis counts the days

“I watch every Skonto game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Spartaks runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Davis Kamess

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

Market

Arturs Cauna 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 Skonto can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Words exchanged at Skonto

Gatis Kamess 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

The step up is real for Abraham Nwankwo

At 20 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad

Arturs Fertovs signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Arturs Fertovs and Skonto agree another 1 years.

Market

A long bet from Skonto on Samuel Segun

He is 19, and nobody at Skonto signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
