Squad

32 days out for Branislav Radonjic after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. OFK Vršac will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

The dugout

Marko Velevski: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” OFK Vršac have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Transfer targets

Adem Avdić will not be coming to OFK Vršac

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Crvena Zvezda is saying, and nobody at OFK Vršac is enjoying the guessing.

Squad

A falling-out at OFK Vršac

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

Transfer targets

Door shut on Siniša Popović

Market

Ivan Jovanovic steps up from the OFK Vršac academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Ivan Jovanovic 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.

Market

OFK Vršac promote Dusan Lazovic from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Dusan Lazovic 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.

In brief
