The Shinnik Gazette
Market14 Sep 2026
Nikita Miroshnichenko has said yes to Angusht
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Shinnik have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Kirill Nikitin runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 27. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Boardroom14 Sep 2026
Deadline passes with 23 signed and 1 gone
That is the business done at Shinnik until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Shinnik say no — this time
The offer from Tobol for Ilja Porokhov was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Maxim Khramtsov turns down Shinnik
The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Rotor keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Kirill Malyarov 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 Shinnik this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Viktoria Plzen tell Shinnik: Alexandr Sojka is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.
Match12 Sep 2026
Shinnik get the job done against Chernomorets
A 2‑1 win over Chernomorets, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
Match12 Sep 2026
At last: Shinnik win one
5 matches without a win, and then this, against Chernomorets. Relief is a strange noise in a football ground and it was the only noise at the end.
