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.

A fracture rules Robert Perisic out for 19 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Zadar will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Window shuts: 4 in, 1 out at Zadar
The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 4 arrived, 1 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Words exchanged at Zadar
Alessandro Ahmetaj 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.

A row about effort at Zadar
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Raffaele Bartoli was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Zadar rebuffed over Tim Spycher
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Thun have kept their man, and Zadar go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Loan watch1 Feb 2027
Antonio Srna wants to come home
“I did not go to Lucko to sit and watch. I want to come back to Zadar and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 25 matches say the rest.
Transfer targets1 Feb 2027
Zadar ask about Tiziano Van Der Tuin
A loan enquiry to Estudiantes: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.
The dugout1 Feb 2027
Fran Topić has become a man the manager trusts
Nobody at Zadar will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.
In brief
- Squad Raffaele Bartoli remains an outsider
- Market The Milan Pjaca talk will not go away
- Market Window shut, Mato Barisic still here
