Nikita Karabashev is a medical away from Sokol
The deal with Dinamo Makhachkala is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

A falling-out at Sokol
Giacomo Volpe and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Sokol promote Evgeni Abdulov from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Evgeni Abdulov has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Nikolay Nikulin joins the Sokol first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Nikolay Nikulin is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Roman Pasevich beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 17. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The formation has left Joelson behind
Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Sokol will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.
In brief
- The dugout Nikolai Dulov answers for it
- Squad Vladislav Kostin falls out with a teammate over standards
- Squad Joelson remains an outsider
