Market

Silver Igonen turns FCI Tallinn down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Market

Sillamae Kalev turn down Parnu for Vitalijs Gabovs

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Words exchanged at Sillamae Kalev

Markus Puri 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

Mihkel Dmitrijev stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Mihkel Dmitrijev and Sillamae Kalev agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market

Joonas Sorga leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Joonas Sorga leaves Sillamae Kalev the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

Market

a squad player leaves for nothing

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

Market

One of our own: Rauno Baranov joins the FCI Tallinn first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Rauno Baranov is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

The dugout

Vladislav Drapeza 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 FCI Tallinn, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

The training reports on Mihkel Vassiljev are not good

A bad Saturday is forgiven; a bad Tuesday is chosen. Standards have slipped and in a building where everybody watches everybody, it has been noticed.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A falling-out at FCI Tallinn

Kevin Anderson and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout

When it matters, Aleksander Iljin plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad

The penny has dropped for Aleksander Iljin

He looks like a man who lives here now rather than one who is working here. It took most of a season, and at FCI Tallinn the difference is visible from the back of the stand.
