Rodina come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Dinamo Makhachkala did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

The ground has had enough
“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 6 of the 27 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Mohamed Azzi stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Mohamed Azzi and Dinamo Makhachkala agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Mohamed Azzi 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 Dinamo Makhachkala this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Dinamo Makhachkala spend $1.2M on the signing the town wanted
It is the rarest sequence in football: supporters ask for something, and the club goes and does it. $1.2M for Denis Tikhonov, and for one week nobody is complaining about anything.

Dinamo Makhachkala come up short against Sochi
Sochi left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Houssem Mrezigue 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.

Words at Dinamo Makhachkala training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nikita Glushkov 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.

Still no ink between Dinamo Makhachkala and Razhab Magomedov
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Dinamo Makhachkala, another week without a signature from Razhab Magomedov.
