Yefim Glushakov agrees terms with KDV Tomsk
The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Shinnik people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Yefim Glushakov 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 Shinnik can pretend not to have heard.

Andrew Ward: 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.” Shinnik have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Shinnik rebuffed over Mikhail Gaidash
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Rostov have kept their man, and Shinnik go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Shinnik get the job done against Chelyabinsk
A 2‑1 win over Chelyabinsk, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
