Squad

Leszek Jaruzel damages knee ligaments — 22 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 22 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market

Adrian Duchnowski 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 Jagiellonia can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Lech come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Jagiellonia did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Samed Baždar

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at Jagiellonia

Bernardo Vital 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.

Player ratings

Bernardo Vital in the eights

A performance of 8.65 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

Sergio López 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

Taras Romanczuk 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.

Market

Ruch are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Jagiellonia will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Squad

Leszek Jaruzel damages knee ligaments — 33 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 33 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

Jagiellonia march on in the cup

Gornik Leczna are out and Jagiellonia go through, 1‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Market

Sławomir Abramowicz moves on

Wolverhampton pay $5.8M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

The terraces

Jagiellonia sell a favourite for $5.8M

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Sławomir Abramowicz was one of the reasons people came, and $5.8M does not replace that by itself.

Market

Przemysław Mystkowski asks to leave Jagiellonia

“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.

Player ratings

A chastening introduction for Aleksander Raszkowski — 5.58

It is a hard way to meet a crowd. Marked 5.58 on the day he was handed the shirt, and the important thing now is what the next one looks like.

Squad

Bernardo Vital 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 Jagiellonia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Dimitris Rallis runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

One of those days for Yuki Kobayashi

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.93, and no argument anywhere in the ground.
