Market

Gonçalo Sousa is on his way

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

Squad

Daniel Graham keeps the receipts

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

Market

Matvey Belousov hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Spartak Tambov can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Real improvement from Lois Doku at Spartak Tambov

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Lois Doku is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Maxim Yedapin 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 Spartak Tambov this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Luis Margas 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.

Market

Yegor Ilyin hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Spartak Tambov can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Mikhail Osinov stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Mikhail Osinov and Spartak Tambov agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Maxim Yedapin 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 Spartak Tambov this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

$226.1K of the owner's money at Spartak Tambov

The shortfall was covered from upstairs again. Supporters are entitled to be relieved and entitled to ask what happens the month it is not, and both feelings usually arrive together.

Boardroom

Intake day at the Spartak Tambov academy

4 arrivals, an average age nobody would call a squad, and a set of parents being shown around a building their sons will spend more time in than at home. The scouting has already happened; today is only the paperwork.

Squad

Maxim Yedapin has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Spartak Tambov will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad

Tempers go at Spartak Tambov

Maxim Yedapin was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Andrea Orlando 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.

Squad

Pavel Khodeev has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Spartak Tambov will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.
