Squad

Sander Sorga damages knee ligaments — 68 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 68 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market

Sander Marin hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Sillamae Kalev can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Erik Vassiljev has said yes to Tulevik

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Sillamae Kalev have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market

Sillamae Kalev turn down Tulevik for Sander Sorga

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

Market

Only the photograph left for Ken Marin

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Ken Marin will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Sillamae Kalev the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Words exchanged at Sillamae Kalev

Taijo Klavan 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

Words at Sillamae Kalev training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Silver Igonen 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.

Loan watch

Ken Tamm wants to come home

“I did not go to Levadia to sit and watch. I want to come back to Sillamae Kalev and fight for my place.” 5 appearances in 23 matches say the rest.

The dugout

Karol Baranov asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

Tulevik come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Sillamae Kalev did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Tempers go at Sillamae Kalev

Rauno Tamm 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

Sergei Klavan moves on

FCI Tallinn pay $110.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad

Silver Igonen 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.

Market

Tulevik watching Sander Hein

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Sillamae Kalev have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

The dugout

When it matters, Ken Sappinen 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

A falling-out at Sillamae Kalev

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

Loan watch

Ken Dmitrijev has seen enough of Parnu

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Sillamae Kalev, and 0 appearances in 14 say he has earned the hearing.
