Squad

A row about effort at Daugavpils

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Ceti Junior Tchibinda was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

Words exchanged at Daugavpils

Nikita Dubra 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

8 new faces, and Daugavpils are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Boardroom

Daugavpils close the window on a squad of their own making

17 in and 0 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Davis Kamess

Daugavpils asked and Skonto said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

Words at Daugavpils training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ceti Junior Tchibinda 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Daugavpils

Nikita Dubra 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.

Squad

A promotion for Gļebs Mihaļcovs

Not a new contract, not a new number: a new place in the manager’s thinking, which is the only promotion in football that actually matters. Gļebs Mihaļcovs has moved up it.

Squad

Ziad Ouled-Haj-M'hand remains an outsider

A year in and the city has not opened up, the language has not come, and lunch is eaten alone more often than anybody at Daugavpils would admit. It shows on Saturdays.

Market

Skonto come back empty-handed

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

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Afonso Leite

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Daugavpils have done the hard part with Liepaja, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.
