Mladost Lucani turn down Cukaricki for David Đokić
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

No thanks: Viktor Tsukanov rejects the move
Mladost Lucani had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Shakhtar, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Nenad Gavrić comes home
The shirt still fits. Nenad Gavrić is back at Mladost Lucani, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Tempers go at Mladost Lucani
Petar Bojić was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Spartak Subotica tell Mladost Lucani: Brian Ramírez 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.

Radnicki Nis take the points off Mladost Lucani
Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Ivan Babic steps up from the Mladost Lucani academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Ivan Babic 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.

One of our own: Nenad Ilic joins the Mladost Lucani first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Nenad Ilic is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
In brief
- The dugout Sergej Ivic: “No excuses”
- Squad No place for Nenad Gavrić in the new shape
- Transfer targets A loan move for Luka Đorđević is in the works
