Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Aidas Mikoliunas

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

Market

Siauliai join the queue for Andrius Jankauskas

Add another name to the list: Siauliai have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Andrius Jankauskas. The answer from Trakai has not changed — yet.

Squad

Petar Bosančić 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

Home is on Alejandro Hales's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Trakai are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad

Linas Klimavicius stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Linas Klimavicius and Trakai agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market

The clock does Aidas Mikoliunas’s negotiating for him

7 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee Trakai could ask drops and the wages Aidas Mikoliunas can ask rise.

Match

Every point is an argument now for Trakai

Position 6 and 10 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Market

Aidas Mikoliunas asks to leave Trakai

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

Eduardas Jurjonas is a Trakai player

The fee is $82.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Kauno Zalgiris drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Squad

Petar Bosančić 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 Trakai this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Donatas Girdvainis 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

Trakai count the cost of losing Vikintas Simkus

34 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.
