Squad

A fracture rules Revaz Kakabadze out for 28 days

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

Squad

Words at Sioni training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Alessandro Vinícius 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

Deadline beats Sioni to Vladimir Arsić

The clock did what Gareji Sagarejo would not, and ended it. Supporters who watched the countdown will spend the next window doing it again.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Sioni

6 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Squad

A falling-out at Sioni

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

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Daniel Iwobi

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Transfer targets

$20.0K settles it between the clubs for Vladimir Arsić

Gareji Sagarejo have accepted the money. What Sioni do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Market

Luka Salukvadze 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 The request is on a desk at Sioni, and it is not being withdrawn.

Boardroom

Deadline passes with 1 signed and 5 gone

That is the business done at Sioni until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Squad

Giorgi Pirtakhia 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 Sioni this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Sioni training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Alessandro Vinícius 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

Tsotne Berelidze stays at Samgurali Tskaltubo as time runs out

A deal that was a phone call from completion at lunchtime was dead by midnight. Sioni will try again when the window opens; Samgurali Tskaltubo may not be selling by then.

Squad

Varlam Kilasonia signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Varlam Kilasonia and Sioni agree another 1 years.

Market

Sioni buy the years ahead of Jonathan Scott

He is 17, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Squad

Jonathan Scott is a square peg at Sioni

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.
