Squad

Eetu Huuhtanen keeps Inter Turku in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

Daniel Farías 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 Inter Turku can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Vladan Elesin is on his way

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

Market

Diego Espindola wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad

Martin Kirilov signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Martin Kirilov commits to Inter Turku for another 4 years.

Squad

Diego Espindola 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 Inter Turku this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Inter Turku training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Saikou Touray 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.

Match

Inter Turku come up short against SJK

SJK left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Loic Essomba

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Inter Turku refuse to drop out of the race

Position 1, 31 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Match

Luka Kuittinen breaks IFK Mariehamn hearts

Some goals win a match and some take one off somebody else. Luka Kuittinen scored in the 89th minute, IFK Mariehamn had already begun thinking about the journey home, and Inter Turku took the lot.

Squad

A move Farhah Al-Shamrani would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Farhah Al-Shamrani is living that version at Inter Turku, and it tends to show in the first month.

Market

Inter Turku sign Saikou Touray for $2.2M

The paperwork is done: Saikou Touray joins from KuPS in a deal worth $2.2M. Now comes the harder part.

Squad

Julius Tauriainen keeps the receipts

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

Squad

Johannes Yli-Kokko 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 Inter Turku this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces

$2.2M for Saikou Touray, and Inter Turku supporters approve

Boards get told what they have done wrong for years and hear nothing on the days they get it right. This is one of those days: Saikou Touray from KuPS for $2.2M, and a ticket office having a very good morning.

Squad

Words at Inter Turku training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Luka Kuittinen 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.

Match

Luka Kuittinen sends Inter Turku past IFK Mariehamn

It finished 2‑1, and it was Luka Kuittinen’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Inter Turku.
