Vasil Simeonov puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Hebar, and it is not being withdrawn.

Words exchanged at Hebar
Vasil Simeonov 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.

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Hebar
The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Lokomotiv Plovdiv tell Hebar: Yesid Valbuena is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Stefan Dyakov steps up from the Hebar academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Stefan Dyakov 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.

Hebar promote Zdravko Nedyalkov from within

A promise the Hebar board did not keep
There was a commitment, there was a date, and the date went past. Trust at a football club takes years to build and one afternoon to spend.
In brief
- Squad Hebar lose Stanimir Nedelkov
- Squad Hebar are still strangers to each other
- Transfer targets Hebar try to borrow Marko Miletić
