Steady
Market6 Sep 2027
The offer from Sillamae Kalev for Markus Ojamaa 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.

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Artur Liivak commits to FCI Tallinn for another 2 years.

Words at FCI Tallinn training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Antonio González 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.

Narva Trans are about to pick up the phone
A conversation is coming this week. FCI Tallinn will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.
Squad6 Sep 2027
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Marek Vassiljev, and the manager let it.

Tammeka come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and FCI Tallinn did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Karol Puri 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 FCI Tallinn can pretend not to have heard.
Squad24 Aug 2026
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at FCI Tallinn this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Tammeka will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Kevin Anderson has pre-agreed a move to FCI Tallinn, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ken Kallaste 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.

32 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.
