Qara Amirguliyev wants to know where this is going
“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Khazar hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Khazar make their move for Joni Montiel
$350.0K on the table at Qarabag. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Tempers go at Khazar
Samir Sheydaev 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.

Too dear: Khazar walk away from Edvin Kuč
$92.0K was the most the club would pay and Neftchi 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.

Words at Khazar training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Qara Amirguliyev 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.

Qara Amirguliyev knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Khazar, and both men came out saying it was fine.

No place for Kamran Bayramov in the plan
“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Kamran Bayramov has his answer from Khazar; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

The Samir Sheydaev talk will not go away
Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Khazar know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
In brief
- Market Still no ink between Khazar and Dimitrij Huseynov
- Squad Emin Amirguliyev takes the armband
- Squad Rashad Bayramov is not doing himself any favours
