Squad

A fracture rules Mihkel Marin out for 125 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason FCI Tallinn will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Words at FCI Tallinn training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Karl Kait 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.

Squad

Victor Hugo in a row with a teammate

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.

Squad

FCI Tallinn count the cost of losing Konstantin Ojamaa

68 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

Karl Kait falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Tempers go at FCI Tallinn

Taijo Vassiljev was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

Liliu Liivak is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at FCI Tallinn is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Taijo Vassiljev in a row with a teammate

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.

Squad

No hiding place for Erik Klavan

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Erik Klavan, and the manager let it.

Market

FCI Tallinn turn down Tulevik for Liliu Pikk

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

Squad

Tempers go at FCI Tallinn

Vlasi Dmitrijev was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Boardroom

FCI Tallinn beat the market to Victor Hugo from Paide

Paide will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Victor Hugo 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.

Market

Eyes on Nikita Vassiljev again

The phone has started ringing about Nikita Vassiljev again, and this time the name on the line is Tammeka. FCI Tallinn are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

Words at FCI Tallinn training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ben Martino 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Karl Kait

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

FCI Tallinn say no — this time

The offer from Al-Qadisiyah for Vlasi Antonov 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.

Squad

Vlasi Antonov signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Vlasi Antonov and FCI Tallinn agree another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at FCI Tallinn

Vlasi Dmitrijev was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
