Market

Ismail Mukhtar has said yes to Urartu

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. BKMA have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Match

BKMA sink to position 8

16 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Transfer targets

BKMA agree $77.0K for Allef

The clubs have shaken hands with Van; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Transfer targets

BKMA rebuffed over Malick Berté

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

Squad

A falling-out at BKMA

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

Market

Gandzasar expected to open talks for Anatoliy Ayvazov

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. BKMA will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Squad

A row about effort at BKMA

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

Market

The clock does Ismail Mukhtar’s negotiating for him

1 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee BKMA could ask drops and the wages Ismail Mukhtar can ask rise.

The dugout

A door opens for Anatoliy Ayvazov

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Squad

The knee: Anatoliy Ayvazov out for 27 days

27 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. BKMA lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad

James Adeniyi breaks a bone — 117 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 117 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Argishti Petrosyan in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at BKMA this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Dilane Ekongolo falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market

One of our own: Hayk Haroyan joins the BKMA first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Hayk Haroyan is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Hayk Movsisyan steps up from the BKMA academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Hayk Movsisyan 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

Robert Spertsyan steps up from the BKMA academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Robert Spertsyan 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

One of our own: David Grigoryan joins the BKMA first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. David Grigoryan is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

The dugout

A promise honoured for Mikel Kaloshi

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. BKMA told Mikel Kaloshi something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

In brief
