Squad

A fracture rules Denis Donát out for 20 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason DAC Dunajska Streda will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Papuna Beruashvili is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at DAC Dunajska Streda is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Market

Ivan Shimakovich agrees terms with Neman

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around DAC Dunajska Streda people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Boardroom

Window shuts: 25 in, 18 out at DAC Dunajska Streda

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 25 arrived, 18 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Artur Ukhan

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. DAC Dunajska Streda have done the hard part with Slovan Bratislava, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Boardroom

Albert Hamsik has agreed to leave DAC Dunajska Streda for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad

A falling-out at DAC Dunajska Streda

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

Squad

Vít Valošek arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Vít Valošek has, at DAC Dunajska Streda, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Boardroom

Jakub Badžgoň will join DAC Dunajska Streda for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Jakub Badžgoň has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means DAC Dunajska Streda have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market

Karlo Bungić has said yes to MFK Skalica

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

Match

DAC Dunajska Streda up to position 3

14 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Market

Only the photograph left for Oliver Klimpl

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Oliver Klimpl will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around DAC Dunajska Streda the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Boardroom

DAC Dunajska Streda close the window on a squad of their own making

30 in and 14 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Lukáš Vorlický rejects the move

DAC Dunajska Streda had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Slovacko, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad

Words exchanged at DAC Dunajska Streda

Nino Kukovec 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.

Market

Patrik Leitner moves on

Slovan Bratislava pay $250.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad

Words at DAC Dunajska Streda training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Artur Gajdoš is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Adam Griger

DAC Dunajska Streda asked and Sparta Prague said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
