Squad

Serikzhan Islamkhan damages knee ligaments — 30 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 30 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market

Tobol join the queue for Islambek Tagybergen

Add another name to the list: Tobol have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Islambek Tagybergen. The answer from Akzhaiyk has not changed — yet.

Market

Akzhaiyk sign Madiiar Mergenbaev for $45.0K

The paperwork is done: Madiiar Mergenbaev joins from Taraz in a deal worth $45.0K. Now comes the harder part.

The terraces

$45.0K for Madiiar Mergenbaev, and Akzhaiyk supporters approve

Boards get told what they have done wrong for years and hear nothing on the days they get it right. This is one of those days: Madiiar Mergenbaev from Taraz for $45.0K, and a ticket office having a very good morning.

Squad

Words at Akzhaiyk training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Islambek Tagybergen 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

Tempers go at Akzhaiyk

Eldor Mirzaev 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

A knee injury of the worst kind for Islambek Postnikov

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

Squad

Kairat Postnikov pulls a muscle — 16 days out

The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 16 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Islambek Tagybergen

“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.

Squad

Islambek Postnikov damages knee ligaments — 113 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 113 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

Timur Zainutdinov 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 Akzhaiyk this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Akzhaiyk training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Talğat Kusiapov 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

Islambek Postnikov damages knee ligaments — 134 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 134 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market

Islambek Tagybergen 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 Akzhaiyk, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Akzhaiyk say no — this time

The offer from Okzhetpes for Timur Zainutdinov 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.
