Eddy Abdullayev asks to leave Ravan
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Ravan close the window on a squad of their own making
7 in and 0 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

The paperwork begins on Samuel Lobato
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Ravan have done the hard part with Qarabag, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

A falling-out at Ravan
Rashad Guseynov and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

No deal for Nuğay Rəşidov at that price
Ravan offered $25.0K; Gabala said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

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

Ravan rebuffed over Gabriel Souza
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Santa Cruz have kept their man, and Ravan go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

A step back for Emin Khalilzade at Ravan
Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

Too much change too quickly at Ravan
5 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.
In brief
- Looking ahead Elvin Camalov goes back to face Gabala
- Market Timur Mamonov linked with a move away
- Market Still no ink between Ravan and Kamran Nadirov
