From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Vid Koderman asks to leave Brinje Grosuplje

“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.

Boardroom

Brinje Grosuplje to lose Vladislav Kulchitskiy for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Vladislav Kulchitskiy has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad

Vid Koderman 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.

Boardroom

Brinje Grosuplje beat the market to Lucas Gallardo from Tabor Sežana

Tabor Sežana will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Lucas Gallardo has pre-agreed a move to Brinje Grosuplje, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Transfer targets

Bravo tell Brinje Grosuplje: Benjamin Matičič 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.

Boardroom

Wages eat 293% of everything Brinje Grosuplje 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.

Boardroom

Embargo at Brinje Grosuplje

No fees may be paid for anybody, whatever the squad needs. Every rumour about this club until it lifts is a rumour about a deal that cannot be done.

Squad

Luis Reina wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Brinje Grosuplje can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Squad

7 new faces, and Brinje Grosuplje are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

In brief
