An offer of $2.1M for Jan Paluska
Pardubice have gone to Viktoria Plzen with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Pardubice pay Jablonec $1.5M for a proper upgrade
Jablonec did not want to sell and the number is why they did. $1.5M for Matěj Polidar, and the expectation that arrives with him is the kind no amount of settling-in period softens.

Michal Hlavatý stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Michal Hlavatý and Pardubice agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Words exchanged at Pardubice
Michal Hlavatý 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.

$1.5M for Matěj Polidar, and Pardubice supporters approve
Boards get told what they have done wrong for years and hear nothing on the days they get it right. This is one of those days: Matěj Polidar from Jablonec for $1.5M, and a ticket office having a very good morning.

Pardubice rebuffed over Ebrima Singhateh
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Jablonec have kept their man, and Pardubice go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Player ratings10 Aug 2026
Michal Hlavatý ran the middle of the pitch — 6.64
He won it back and then made something of it, which is two jobs and the reason the scoreline looks the way it does. 12 combined actions and a mark of 6.64, and not one of them will make a highlights package.

One of our own: Daniel Masopust joins the Pardubice first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Daniel Masopust is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Lukas Provod steps up from the Pardubice academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Lukas Provod has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
