Wages eat 128% of everything Irtysh earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Irtysh lose Dmitriy Lapin

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

Edgar Segovia 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.

Alan Villarruel gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Alan Villarruel has just signed for Irtysh, and for once the answer mattered.

Gonzalo Masuero signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Gonzalo Masuero and Irtysh agree another 4 years.

Tempers go at Irtysh

Alexandr Smirnov 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.

Roman Yanushkovskiy stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.78 on the card, and the Irtysh support went home talking about one name.

Market10 Aug 2026

Irtysh buy the years ahead of Georgy Dmitriev

He is 14, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Market10 Aug 2026

Irtysh sign Ivan Butusov, one for the future

Ivan Butusov is 14, and Irtysh 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.

Market10 Aug 2026

A long bet from Irtysh on Roman Barkov

He is 14, and nobody at Irtysh signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Irtysh sign Dmitriy Lapin, one for the future

Dmitriy Lapin is 14, and Irtysh 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.

Match8 Aug 2026

Irtysh and Dinamo Vladivostok take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.
