Squad

Words at Irtysh training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Oluwabori Falaye 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Rinat Taykenov

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

Squad

Bruno Silva remains an outsider

A year in and the city has not opened up, the language has not come, and lunch is eaten alone more often than anybody at Irtysh would admit. It shows on Saturdays.

In brief

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Bauyrzhan Islamkhan

108 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Irtysh lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

A muscle injury and 16 days out for Ğafurzhan Süiimbaev

The most common injury in the game and the most rushed back from. Irtysh will quote 16 days and will be careful with it, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Transfer targets

Gafurzhan Tagybergen turns down Irtysh

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Akzhaiyk keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Transfer targets

Dinamo Moscow tell Irtysh: Kurban Rasulov is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Dauren Postnikov signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Dauren Postnikov commits to Irtysh for another 3 years.

Squad

Oluwabori Falaye remains an outsider

A year in and the city has not opened up, the language has not come, and lunch is eaten alone more often than anybody at Irtysh would admit. It shows on Saturdays.
