Squad

A move Robert Janjiš would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Robert Janjiš is living that version at Karlovac 1919, and it tends to show in the first month.

Player ratings

Luka Kapulica, 21, steals the show — 8.26

Marked 8.26 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Ante Buneta asks to leave Karlovac 1919

“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.

Squad

Robert Janjiš 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 Karlovac 1919 this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

The terraces

Karlovac 1919 supporters have found a favourite in Luka Kapulica

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Luka Kapulica has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

One of our own: Niko Bilic joins the Karlovac 1919 first team

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

Karlovac 1919 promote Tin Cop from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Tin Cop has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Marin Knezevic joins the Karlovac 1919 first team
