Market7 Jan 2036

Djaymoh Dommisse agrees terms with Lucko

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

The dugout7 Jan 2036

Ivan Petkov: 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.” NK Osijek have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Transfer targets7 Jan 2036

Daniel Adu-Adjei turns down NK Osijek

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Dinamo Zagreb keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad7 Jan 2036

A falling-out at NK Osijek

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

Squad7 Jan 2036

Words at NK Osijek training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dominik Weixelbraun 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 targets7 Jan 2036

Hertha BSC tell NK Osijek: Ivan Mandić 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.

Loan watch7 Jan 2036

Luka Benko counts the days

“I watch every NK Osijek game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Jarun Zagreb runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Market7 Jan 2036

Uskok watching Tomislav Colak

The interest is real enough to have reached print. NK Osijek have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

The dugout7 Jan 2036

Lan Mesarič gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match12 Dec 2035

NK Osijek march on in the cup

HNK Vukovar 1991 are out and NK Osijek go through, 4‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Player ratings17 Dec 2035

Both of them Mario Boric's — 8.13

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.13, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings17 Dec 2035

Ivan Petkov, 21, steals the show — 7.62

Marked 7.62 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Market17 Dec 2035

Andrea Piron is on his way

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

Squad17 Dec 2035

Words exchanged at NK Osijek

Brian Mansilla 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.

Squad17 Dec 2035

Words at NK Osijek training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dominik Weixelbraun 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.

The terraces17 Dec 2035

NK Osijek supporters have found a favourite in Mario Boric

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Mario Boric has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Player ratings17 Dec 2035

Ninety minutes of Andrea Piron at his very best

Marked 8.10. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at NK Osijek.

Player ratings17 Dec 2035

Pietro Traversa in the eights

A performance of 8.01 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Transfer targets10 Sep 2035

The window shuts on the Matija Frigan deal

NK Osijek ran out of time with Hajduk Split. The paperwork was open when the deadline passed, and a transfer that was almost done is now a transfer that never happened.

Market10 Sep 2035

Only the photograph left for Jarne Flies

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Jarne Flies will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around NK Osijek the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Boardroom10 Sep 2035

Tai Žnuderl has agreed to leave NK Osijek 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.

Market10 Sep 2035

Ivan Križanović’s move to Istra 1961 falls through

The deal that would have taken Ivan Križanović to Istra 1961 has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to NK Osijek with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Squad10 Sep 2035

A falling-out at NK Osijek

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

Squad10 Sep 2035

Ivan Petkov gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Ivan Petkov has just signed for NK Osijek, and for once the answer mattered.

Transfer targets10 Sep 2035

NK Osijek rebuffed over Toni Silić

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

Market10 Sep 2035

Djakovo Croatia join the queue for Mateo Colak

Add another name to the list: Djakovo Croatia have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Mateo Colak. The answer from NK Osijek has not changed — yet.

Squad10 Sep 2035

Words at NK Osijek training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Sime Brekalo 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.
