“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Stumbras can pretend not to have heard.

David Moreno 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.
Loan watch9 Nov 2026
“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Stumbras, and 0 appearances in 13 say he has earned the hearing.

David Moreno 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 Stumbras this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

“I did not go to Suduva to sit and watch. I want to come back to Stumbras and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 12 matches say the rest.

“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.

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

“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 The request is on a desk at Stumbras, and it is not being withdrawn.

Donatas Kuklys 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.

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Justas Barauskas and Stumbras agree another 1 years.

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Crisis
Match12 Aug 2026
The cup run ends for Stumbras
2‑3 against Suduva, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Donatas Kuklys, and the manager let it.

The kick that got away from Linas Simkus
Twelve yards, a goalkeeper guessing, and it still did not go in. He will take the next one, and every soul in the ground will hold their breath.

He is 19, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Successful dribbles: 13. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Molodechno come back empty-handed
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.

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Donatas Kuklys commits to Stumbras for another 3 years.

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Stumbras has been clear about where Tadas Jankauskas stands, which is more than many ever get.

Donatas Kuklys knocks on the manager’s door
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Donatas Kuklys trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

“The easiest signature of my career.” Arnas Kazlauskas and Stumbras agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The phone has started ringing about Arnas Girdvainis again, and this time the name on the line is Zalgiris. Stumbras are listening politely and promising nothing.
