Hayk Mkhitaryan damages knee ligaments — 26 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 26 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.

Market22 Jul 2030

Brian Oddei agrees terms with Alashkert

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

Market22 Jul 2030

Sergey Muradyan 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 Noah can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets22 Jul 2030

Žiga Pečjak is a medical away from Noah

The deal with Olimpija Ljubljana is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad22 Jul 2030

A falling-out at Noah

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

Squad22 Jul 2030

Words at Noah training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Sergey Muradyan 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.

Market22 Jul 2030

No place for Brian Oddei in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Brian Oddei has his answer from Noah; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

The dugout22 Jul 2030

No hiding place for Marin Jakoliš

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Marin Jakoliš, and the manager let it.

The dugout22 Jul 2030

Yan Eteki has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Noah 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.

Market15 Jul 2030

Not going: Sergey Muradyan stays at Noah

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Alashkert had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Market15 Jul 2030

Kalifala Doumbia puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Noah, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad15 Jul 2030

Words exchanged at Noah

Yan Eteki 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.

Squad15 Jul 2030

Valentin Costache 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.

Squad15 Jul 2030

Matvey Dubatovka signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Matvey Dubatovka and Noah agree another 3 years.

The dugout15 Jul 2030

Valentin Costache has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Noah 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.

Market15 Jul 2030

Laurenţiu Brănescu is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Noah has been clear about where Laurenţiu Brănescu stands, which is more than many ever get.

The dugout15 Jul 2030

The manager makes an example of Laurenţiu Brănescu

“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.

Squad15 Jul 2030

Marvin Schieb is a square peg at Noah

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

From our football correspondent Crisis

The terraces14 May 2029

Supporters organise against the Botosani board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Market14 May 2029

Alexandru Roşca 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 Botosani can pretend not to have heard.

Market14 May 2029

Only the photograph left for Răzvan Creţ

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Răzvan Creţ will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Botosani the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad14 May 2029

A row about effort at Botosani

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

The dugout14 May 2029

Alexandru Roşca 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 Botosani, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market14 May 2029

Hervin Ongenda linked with a move away

The name of Hervin Ongenda keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Botosani say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout14 May 2029

Răzvan Creţ gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Răzvan Creţ is on it.

Market14 May 2029

The clock does Leverton Pierre’s negotiating for him

1 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee Botosani could ask drops and the wages Leverton Pierre can ask rise.

Squad14 May 2029

Giannis Anestis can feel the drop

The table is being checked before the results are in, which is always the tell. Nobody at Botosani says the word and every senior player in the building is thinking it.
