Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Tomislav Vukas

104 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Zadar lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

Words exchanged at Zadar

Aaron Lewis and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Words at Zadar training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Josip Krznarić 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Tomislav Vukas

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

Ivica Bogdan linked with a move away

The name of Ivica Bogdan keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Zadar say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout

Robert Adams 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 Zadar, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

a squad player leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. a squad player leaves Zadar the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

Market

Marin Sutalo leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Marin Sutalo leaves Zadar the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

Market

Dario Lovren leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Dario Lovren leaves Zadar the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

The terraces

Anger at Zadar spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Transfer targets

$77.0K settles it between the clubs for Adrian Pudić

Imotski have accepted the money. What Zadar do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Josip Burić

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Zadar have done the hard part with Dinamo Zagreb, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Aaron Lewis and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Words at Zadar training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marco Lovren 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.

The dugout

Tomislav Vukas gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
