Market25 Dec 2028

Pavel Sedich puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at FCI Tallinn, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad25 Dec 2028

Tempers go at FCI Tallinn

Marko Meerits 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.

Boardroom25 Dec 2028

Alvi Kumbaro will join FCI Tallinn for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Alvi Kumbaro has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means FCI Tallinn have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Squad25 Dec 2028

Marek Klavan signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Marek Klavan commits to FCI Tallinn for another 3 years.

Market25 Dec 2028

A long bet from FCI Tallinn on Tadas Vaitkunas

He is 18, and nobody at FCI Tallinn signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Squad25 Dec 2028

A row about effort at FCI Tallinn

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Denis Sibul was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market18 Dec 2028

Arthur Monteiro puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at FCI Tallinn, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad18 Dec 2028

Marko Meerits 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.

Squad18 Dec 2028

Arthur Monteiro arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Arthur Monteiro has, at FCI Tallinn, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Boardroom18 Dec 2028

FCI Tallinn agree a free transfer for Daniil Kutsepalov

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Squad18 Dec 2028

Marek Klavan signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Marek Klavan commits to FCI Tallinn for another 3 years.

Market18 Dec 2028

FCI Tallinn sign Arthur Monteiro, one for the future

Arthur Monteiro is 18, and FCI Tallinn have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Market18 Dec 2028

Pavel Sedich placed on the list

FCI Tallinn have made Pavel Sedich available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Squad18 Dec 2028

Competition arrives for Aleksander Iljin

A new face in his position and a shirt he thought he owned suddenly up for discussion. FCI Tallinn have promised nothing, which is what clubs promise at this stage.

The dugout18 Dec 2028

Mitchell Bates knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Mitchell Bates trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Tempers go at FCI Tallinn

Willames José 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.

Squad28 Aug 2028

Denis Sibul 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.

The dugout28 Aug 2028

Roberts Jurkovskis gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout7 Aug 2028

Denis Sibul says FCI Tallinn went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Transfer targets7 Aug 2028

Pedro Manoel due for a FCI Tallinn medical

Everything agreed with Tammeka, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Market7 Aug 2028

Still no ink between FCI Tallinn and Vladislav Ignatjev

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at FCI Tallinn, another week without a signature from Vladislav Ignatjev.
