Market17 May 2027

Nikita Kotin is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Shinnik is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

The dugout17 May 2027

Nikita Miroshnichenko: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Shinnik have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

The dugout17 May 2027

Artur Cherny 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.

Squad17 May 2027

Ivan Shmakov 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.

The dugout17 May 2027

Vadim Karpov knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Shinnik, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market17 May 2027

The Daniil Kornyushin talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Shinnik know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout17 May 2027

Dmitry Samoilov gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Dmitry Samoilov is on it.

Market17 May 2027

Albek Gongapshev placed on the list

Shinnik have made Albek Gongapshev available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Squad17 May 2027

Danila Yanov is training like a man with a point to make

Nobody has promised him anything and he has not asked. The coaching staff have noticed, which at this stage of a season is the only thing that matters.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Savely Konstantinov damages knee ligaments — 34 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 34 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.

Market10 Aug 2026

Shinnik say no — this time

The offer from Tobol for Kirill Malyarov 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.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Timofey Mitrov keeps Shinnik in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Vladimir Lučić will not be coming to Shinnik

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Crvena Zvezda is saying, and nobody at Shinnik is enjoying the guessing.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Denis Mironov signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Denis Mironov commits to Shinnik for another 4 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Shinnik

Danila Yanov and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Shinnik rebuffed over Bojan Dimoski

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

Market10 Aug 2026

Anatoly Zaytsev steps up from the Shinnik academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Anatoly Zaytsev has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market10 Aug 2026

Shinnik promote Mikhail Belikov from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Mikhail Belikov 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.
