Bruno Bjelica beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 39. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Daniel Grbic sold, and an era ends
$800.0K from Sibenik for Daniel Grbic. Money is money, but the dressing room has lost the man it looked to.

Zadar bow out of the cup
Imotski go through and Zadar go home, 0‑1 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Zadar sell a favourite for $800.0K
The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Daniel Grbic was one of the reasons people came, and $800.0K does not replace that by itself.

Vintage Ivan Cop — 8.21
At 33 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.21, and nobody on the pitch better.

Domagoj Kramaric puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Zadar, and it is not being withdrawn.

Šime Perko is a medical away from Zadar
The deal with Hajduk Split is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Šime Perko will not be coming to Zadar
Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Hajduk Split is saying, and nobody at Zadar is enjoying the guessing.

Too dear: Zadar walk away from Karlo Išasegi
$510.0K was the most the club would pay and Slaven Belupo were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.
