Market

Ivan Pchelintsev asks to leave Nosta

“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

A falling-out at Nosta

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

Transfer targets

SKA Khabarovsk tell Nosta: Vladimir Tsapurin 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.

Squad

Words at Nosta training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Danil Batyrshin 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.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Alexey Koltakov is in the works

Nosta have made the call to Torpedo Moscow. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Squad

Arseny Vainer moves up the pecking order

Nothing is announced when this happens and everybody knows. He is a bigger part of the plan at Nosta than he was a month ago, and the training ground worked that out before the team sheet said so.

Squad

Anatoly Demidov signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Anatoly Demidov and Nosta agree another 2 years.

Squad

Stanislav Irshev 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 Nosta this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Mashuk tell Nosta: Gamzat Khizriev 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.

Squad

Words at Nosta training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nikolay Andriyanov 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.

Market

Grigory Mikheev steps up from the Nosta academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Grigory Mikheev 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.

Market

Nosta promote Yefrem Zyuganov from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Yefrem Zyuganov 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: Maxim Avdeev joins the Nosta first team

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

Nosta promote Dmitriy Ilyin from within

Match

Nosta come up short against Rubin 2

Rubin 2 left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
