Squad10 Jan 2033

The knee: Karol Klich out for 17 days

17 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Wisla Krakow lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market10 Jan 2033

Canadá 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 The request is on a desk at Wisla Krakow, and it is not being withdrawn.

Boardroom10 Jan 2033

Wisla Krakow to lose Jaden Heskey for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Jaden Heskey has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad10 Jan 2033

Words exchanged at Wisla Krakow

Bartosz Żelazowski 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.

Squad10 Jan 2033

Kacper Duda 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.

Boardroom10 Jan 2033

Wisla Krakow agree a free transfer for Antoni Klecha

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.

Transfer targets10 Jan 2033

Door shut on Dorin Deac

Wisla Krakow asked and Legia said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match8 Jan 2033

A bad afternoon for Wisla Krakow against Zaglebie

0‑1 to Zaglebie, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout10 Jan 2033

No hiding place for Bartosz Żelazowski

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Bartosz Żelazowski, and the manager let it.

Squad3 Jan 2033

Karol Klich damages knee ligaments — 24 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 24 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.

Boardroom3 Jan 2033

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Wisla Krakow

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

The terraces3 Jan 2033

Supporters organise against the Wisla Krakow board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Boardroom3 Jan 2033

Grzegorz Buksa has until the next board meeting

What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at Wisla Krakow can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.

Market3 Jan 2033

Wisla Krakow turn down Lech for Jaden Heskey

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

Market3 Jan 2033

Valeriy Luchkevych 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 Wisla Krakow can pretend not to have heard.

Market3 Jan 2033

Kacper Duda raises the bar for Wisla Krakow

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Wisla Krakow heard it as anything else.

Match1 Jan 2033

The drought breaks for Wisla Krakow

7 without a win is the sort of run that changes how a town talks about its club, and Korona were the afternoon it stopped. Nothing is fixed by one result and everything feels different by one.

Squad3 Jan 2033

Tempers go at Wisla Krakow

Bartosz Żelazowski 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.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad27 Dec 2032

Karol Klich damages knee ligaments — 32 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 32 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.

Market27 Dec 2032

Matheus Dias 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 Wisla Krakow can pretend not to have heard.

Match27 Dec 2032

Wisla Krakow are in real trouble now

Position 13, 14 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Match25 Dec 2032

No end in sight to Wisla Krakow's wait for a win

7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Wisla Krakow has to find a result from somewhere.

Market27 Dec 2032

Jarno Slootweg has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Wisla Krakow they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad27 Dec 2032

Bartosz Żelazowski 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 Wisla Krakow this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad27 Dec 2032

A row about effort at Wisla Krakow

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

The dugout27 Dec 2032

The manager makes an example of Bartosz Głogowski

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings27 Dec 2032

Ninety minutes of Jaden Heskey at his very best

Marked 8.11. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Wisla Krakow.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market2 Aug 2032

Volodymyr Vilivald has said yes to Gornik Leczna

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

Squad2 Aug 2032

Real improvement from Nolan Velut at Wisla Krakow

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Nolan Velut is 23, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad2 Aug 2032

Bartosz Żelazowski 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 Wisla Krakow this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad2 Aug 2032

Kacper Duda 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.

Transfer targets2 Aug 2032

Wisla Krakow rebuffed over Dmytro Ledvii

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Shakhtar have kept their man, and Wisla Krakow go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad2 Aug 2032

Wisla Krakow lose Karol Klich

30 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

The dugout2 Aug 2032

Canadá 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.

Market2 Aug 2032

Still no ink between Wisla Krakow and Jaden Heskey

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Wisla Krakow, another week without a signature from Jaden Heskey.

Transfer targets2 Aug 2032

Wisla Krakow ask about Oleksandr Kemkin

A loan enquiry to Dynamo Kyiv: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.
