Ankaragucu come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Noah did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Takuto Oshima signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Takuto Oshima and Noah agree another 3 years.

Yan Eteki 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.

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.

This league is too small for Dobrivoj Rusov
He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Noah will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Still no offer on the table, and Valentin Costache’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.
In brief
- Market Noah sign Robert Sarkisov, one for the future
- Market Noah buy the years ahead of Henrikh Simonyan
