Squad24 Jan 2050

Biel Solís damages knee ligaments — 135 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 135 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.

Squad24 Jan 2050

A fracture rules Julen Garrido out for 33 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Zaragoza will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market24 Jan 2050

Markel Méndez 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 The request is on a desk at Zaragoza, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market24 Jan 2050

Only the photograph left for Aimar Castillo

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Aimar Castillo will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Zaragoza the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Boardroom24 Jan 2050

Zaragoza beat the market to Enrique Duran from Almería

Almería will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Enrique Duran has pre-agreed a move to Zaragoza, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Squad24 Jan 2050

David Serrano stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” David Serrano and Zaragoza agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market25 Jan 2049

Only the photograph left for Timofey Lukin

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Timofey Lukin will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Astrakhan the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market25 Jan 2049

David Serrano asks to leave Astrakhan

“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.

Squad25 Jan 2049

Words at Astrakhan training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Akos Gazdag is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad7 Sep 2048

A fracture rules Ivan Ovchinnikov out for 14 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Astrakhan will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market7 Sep 2048

Timofey Lukin has one foot out of the door

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

Match5 Sep 2048

Astrakhan make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Astrakhan have 3 straight wins of it.

Match5 Sep 2048

Leonardo Rossetti sends Astrakhan past Druzhba

It finished 2‑1, and it was Leonardo Rossetti’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Astrakhan.

Squad7 Sep 2048

Akos Gazdag 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.

Match5 Sep 2048

Leonardo Rossetti at the heart of a fast Astrakhan start

2 goals inside twenty minutes with Leonardo Rossetti in the middle of it, and Druzhba unable to get near the ball long enough to change anything. Some matches are won before the first drink.

Squad7 Sep 2048

The manager makes an example of Gennady Vasilyev

“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.

Market7 Sep 2048

Tyumen are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Astrakhan will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Player ratings7 Sep 2048

Leonardo Rossetti was the difference for Astrakhan

Marked 7.96. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Squad9 Mar 2048

Adam Estinfort stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Adam Estinfort and Astrakhan agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad9 Mar 2048

Words at Astrakhan training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Akos Gazdag is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market9 Mar 2048

Still no ink between Astrakhan and Karol Valjent

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

Squad9 Mar 2048

Fedor Pokrovsky has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Astrakhan will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad9 Mar 2048

Lukas Sykora has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Astrakhan know it, and so does everybody who watches him.
