Adam Klich puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at FC Tallinn, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market15 Jan 2029

FC Tallinn say no — this time

The offer from Elva for Ott Oskar Valdaru was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad15 Jan 2029

Words exchanged at FC Tallinn

Kenlou Laasner and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Boardroom15 Jan 2029

The numbers do not look good at FC Tallinn

Wages have outrun income and the accountants have started attending meetings they used to send apologies to. Ambition comes second in a season like this.

Transfer targets15 Jan 2029

Door shut on Laurits Õunpuu

FC Tallinn asked and Tammeka said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad15 Jan 2029

A row about effort at FC Tallinn

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Joonas Vahermägi was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout15 Jan 2029

Adam Klich frozen out at FC Tallinn

This is not rotation. Adam Klich has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at FC Tallinn is pretending otherwise.

Market15 Jan 2029

Georg Andreas Gremberg told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Georg Andreas Gremberg has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at FC Tallinn.

The dugout15 Jan 2029

The manager makes an example of Anastasios Retsos

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Adam Klich asks to leave FC Tallinn

“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.

Words exchanged at FC Tallinn

Kenlou Laasner and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

FC Tallinn supporters have found a favourite in Alex Dunitš

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Alex Dunitš has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match1 Apr 2028

FC Tallinn keep winning on the road

3 away wins in a row. Travelling support is the truest kind, and this season it is being repaid in the only currency that counts.

Match1 Apr 2028

Andreas Kiivit sends FC Tallinn past Nomme Kalju U21

It finished 1‑0, and it was Andreas Kiivit’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to FC Tallinn.

Player ratings3 Apr 2028

One of those days for Andreas Kiivit

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.16, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad3 Apr 2028

Anastasios Retsos wants to go home

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

Squad3 Apr 2028

A step back for Artjom Škinjov at FC Tallinn

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

Squad3 Apr 2028

Stevin Kerge named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Stevin Kerge is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Squad14 Feb 2028

Rasmus Talu breaks a bone — 40 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 40 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market14 Feb 2028

Boris Ibragimov puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at FC Tallinn, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market14 Feb 2028

Georg Andreas Gremberg is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at FC Tallinn is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad14 Feb 2028

Tempers go at FC Tallinn

Kenlou Laasner 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.

Transfer targets14 Feb 2028

FC Tallinn rebuffed over Morgan Wigley

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Paide have kept their man, and FC Tallinn go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The dugout14 Feb 2028

No hiding place for Alex Dunitš

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

The dugout14 Feb 2028

Rasmus Talu knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at FC Tallinn, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad14 Feb 2028

No place for Anastasios Retsos in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation FC Tallinn are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

The dugout14 Feb 2028

Alex Dunitš gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Alex Dunitš is on it.
