The PSK Pervorechenskoe Post

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Adam Rychlý

120 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. PSK Pervorechenskoe lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Boardroom

Deadline passes with 11 signed and 6 gone

That is the business done at PSK Pervorechenskoe 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.

Transfer targets

Rostislav Kurdyumov is a medical away from PSK Pervorechenskoe

The deal with Spartak Moscow 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.

Squad

Danila Meksh signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Danila Meksh and PSK Pervorechenskoe agree another 4 years.

Boardroom

Wages swallow 235% of the PSK Pervorechenskoe income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

Market

Tver watching Matvey Kholin

The interest is real enough to have reached print. PSK Pervorechenskoe have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Boardroom

No signings allowed at PSK Pervorechenskoe

The manager may talk to whoever he likes and may pay nobody. A squad survives a window like this by borrowing, by promoting, and by hoping the injuries land somewhere else.

Market

Still no ink between PSK Pervorechenskoe and Artem Philippov

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at PSK Pervorechenskoe, another week without a signature from Artem Philippov.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Ruslan Barinov

“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.

In brief

The PSK Pervorechenskoe Post

From our football correspondent Crisis

Market

Danila Meksh hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what PSK Pervorechenskoe can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Miłosz Pacek was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 21. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Transfer targets

PSK Pervorechenskoe rebuffed over Maxim Alyoshin

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

Boardroom

309% of the income goes out in wages at PSK Pervorechenskoe

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Squad

Words exchanged at PSK Pervorechenskoe

Stelios Laban 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for PSK Pervorechenskoe against Nart

0‑2 to Nart, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Boardroom

PSK Pervorechenskoe cannot sign anybody

The embargo bars a fee being paid for a player, whatever the manager thinks the squad needs. Every rumour printed about this club between now and its lifting is a rumour about a deal that cannot happen.

Loan watch

Matvey Kholin’s loan is measured in nothing happening

11 clean sheets from 19 appearances at Luki-Energiya. That is the whole of a goalkeeper’s job done properly, and it is being done a long way from the club that owns him.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑2 Interim Coach left the room before anybody could ask which.

In brief
