Jelgava say no — this time
The offer from Metta/LU for Pavels Tarasovs 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.

Kaspars Vanins hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Jelgava can pretend not to have heard.

No hiding place for Janis Rugins
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Janis Rugins, and the manager let it.

When it matters, Kristaps Kamess plays
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.
In brief
- Market Still no signature from Roberts Oss
- Squad Amar Haïdara has outgrown this division
- Loan watch Nobody is scoring past Kristaps Cauna at Metta/LU
