Market

Yusuff Adewale asks to leave Vojvodina

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The dugout

Šimon Drozd keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Vojvodina may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Wojciech Mońka

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

Squad

A falling-out at Vojvodina

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

Market

Vojvodina sell Timothy Castagne for $500.0K

Timothy Castagne has left for Partizan in a $500.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Transfer targets

Vojvodina rebuffed over Nemanja Žunić

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

Squad

Anders Børset 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Mamadou Balde

“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.

Market

Vojvodina and Joachim Nysveen are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market

Šimon Drozd has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Vojvodina they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Joe Rankin-Costello 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 Vojvodina this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A row about effort at Vojvodina

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

Squad

Ebere Umar wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Vojvodina know it.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Job Brecelj

“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.

The dugout

When it matters, Stefan Tomović plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market

Vojvodina and Joachim Nysveen are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Market

Still no signature from Matyáš Vágner

1 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what Vojvodina could get for him.

The dugout

Joachim Nysveen knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Vojvodina, and both men came out saying it was fine.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Ivan Grujic

31 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Vojvodina lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match

Vojvodina through in the cup

A 4‑1 win over TSC, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Player ratings

Both of them Viktor Tsukanov's — 8.30

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.30, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings

A brace, and Stefan Tomović takes the afternoon — 8.13

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Stefan Tomović provided it, and the 8.13 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market

Šimon Drozd has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Vojvodina they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Match

Vojvodina make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Vojvodina have 3 straight wins of it.

Squad

Words at Vojvodina training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lewis Brunt 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.

Player ratings

David Nwachukwu the provider

Assists: 4. Every one of them arrived at a moment somebody else could take the credit for, and he was happy to let them.

The dugout

Vojvodina keep their word to Juan Ignacio Nardoni

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

In brief
