Zhasūlan Zhūmashev 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 The request is on a desk at Tobol, and it is not being withdrawn.

Only the photograph left for Zhasūlan Zhūmashev

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Zhasūlan Zhūmashev will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Tobol the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Merabi Uridia says Tobol went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Tobol say no — this time

The offer from Shakhter for Mikhail Markin was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Words exchanged at Tobol

Rubin Hebaj 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.

Tobol sign Vitalii Laturnus for $150.0K

The paperwork is done: Vitalii Laturnus joins from Aktobe in a deal worth $150.0K. Now comes the harder part.

A row about effort at Tobol

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

Door shut on Jasur Yaxshiboyev

Tobol asked and Pakhtakor said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

This league is too small for Viacheslav Tankovskyi

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Tobol will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Terms done: Oleg Suvorov is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Akzhaiyk waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Tobol is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Tobol say no — this time

The offer from Aktobe for Rubin Hebaj was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Mikhail Markin 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 Tobol can pretend not to have heard.

The paperwork begins on Viacheslav Tankovskyi

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

A falling-out at Tobol

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

A muscle injury sidelines Edmilson for 14 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Tobol will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Squad27 Aug 2029

Antonio Boršić 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.

Tobol rebuffed over Alejandro Solís

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

Eyes on Mikhail Markin again

The phone has started ringing about Mikhail Markin again, and this time the name on the line is Shakhter. Tobol are listening politely and promising nothing.
