Transfer targets

Failed medical for Grei Kuqi

The deal with Teuta Durrës died in the treatment room. Nobody will say what was found and everybody in the game will find out by Friday.

Market

Marçelino Bregu asks to leave Pogradeci

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Words exchanged at Pogradeci

Precious Agwu 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.

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Pogradeci

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Transfer targets

Pogradeci rebuffed over Daniel Afful

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

Squad

Ahmed Family 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

Pogradeci promote Marçelino Bregu from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Marçelino Bregu has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

One of our own: Erjon Shera joins the Pogradeci first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Erjon Shera is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

One of our own: Paulo Bakiu joins the Pogradeci first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Paulo Bakiu is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Erjon Shera asks to leave Pogradeci

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Tempers go at Pogradeci

Precious Agwu 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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Eslit Sala

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

Squad

A row about effort at Pogradeci

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

Squad

Harrison Jiakponna is a square peg at Pogradeci

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Squad

This league is too small for Ekene Olisema

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. Pogradeci will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Market

Still no ink between Pogradeci and Ekene Olisema

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

Transfer targets

Pogradeci ask about Grei Kuqi

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

Market

Pogradeci buy the years ahead of Ersi Gjoni

He is 18, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.
