Market

The Tulevik deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Martin Dmitrijev reports back to Sillamae Kalev with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Squad

Words at Sillamae Kalev training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Anton Polorotov 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.

Squad

Anton Polorotov asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

In brief

  • Market The window shut and Markus Pikk is still in the building
  • Squad Questions about Karl Ojamaa on the training pitch
  • Squad The manager comes out for Taijo Marin

Markus Pikk 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 The request is on a desk at Sillamae Kalev, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Sillamae Kalev say no — this time

The offer from Tulevik for Martin Dmitrijev was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Joonas Tamm 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.

Squad

Anton Polorotov gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Anton Polorotov has just signed for Sillamae Kalev, and for once the answer mattered.

Karol Antonov 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 The request is on a desk at Sillamae Kalev, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Tempers go at Sillamae Kalev

Martin Pikk 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.

Squad

“The easiest signature of my career.” Nikita Igonen and Sillamae Kalev agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Joonas Liivak 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.

Markus Pikk attracts admirers

The name of Markus Pikk has come up in conversations Sillamae Kalev were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.
