Deadline passes with 21 signed and 5 gone
That is the business done at Torpedo Moscow until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Mario Ćurić 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.

Door shut on Tomás Jerez
Torpedo Moscow asked and San Miguel said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

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

Platon Plotnikov steps up from the Torpedo Moscow academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Platon Plotnikov 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.

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Jonathan Okoronkwo, and the manager let it.

Bojan Roganović stands above it all
Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.42 on the card, and the Torpedo Moscow support went home talking about one name.
