Market

Only the photograph left for Arvydas Satkus

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Arvydas Satkus will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Stumbras the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Boardroom

Stumbras to lose Arvydas Satkus for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Arvydas Satkus has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Arvydas Kazlauskas in a row with a teammate

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

Boardroom

Window shuts: 4 in, 2 out at Stumbras

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 4 arrived, 2 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Squad

A row about effort at Stumbras

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

Squad

Tempers go at Stumbras

Justas Dapkus 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.

Arvydas Kazlauskas slips down the pecking order

The demotion a club never announces and a dressing room always notices. Arvydas Kazlauskas is further from the side than he was, and the reason will not be given until he asks.
