The FK Senica Chronicle
Transfer targets13 Jan 2031
FK Senica agree $150.0K for Dominik Lobotka
The clubs have shaken hands with Spartak Trnava; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

FK Senica rebuffed over Malo Le Bolay
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Spartak Trnava have kept their man, and FK Senica go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Words at FK Senica training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nathan Udvaros 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.

FK Senica try to borrow Denis Duris
AS Trencin have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

The Norbert Nemec story refuses to die
It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Norbert Nemec signs something — a contract at FK Senica or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Milan Duris 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 FK Senica, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Erik Valjent gets picked when it counts
Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Erik Valjent is on it.
Market13 Jan 2031
Still no ink between FK Senica and Emiliano De Arrascaeta
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at FK Senica, another week without a signature from Emiliano De Arrascaeta.

Martin Rusnak leaves for nothing
Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Martin Rusnak leaves FK Senica the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.
In brief
- Market Filip Hrosovsky leaves for nothing
- Squad Miroslav Valjent is not doing himself any favours
- Squad Dominik Strelec back in training
