From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Azamat Erkinbek 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 Taraz can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Tempers go at Taraz

Yoav Hofmeister 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.

Market

Tobol watching Madiiar Mergenbaev

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Taraz have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Market

Aktobe expected to open talks for Älisher Süleimen

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Taraz will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Market

The shop window has Ülan Konysbaev in it

Taraz have let the market know Ülan Konysbaev can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Squad

Nūrbergen Nūrbol has had enough of the bench

“I did not come here to warm up in front of people.” He is out of contract eventually, he is old enough to count the weeks, and Taraz will have to give him a reason to stay or an exit.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Market

Älisher Süleimen asks to leave Taraz

“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.

Squad

Bauyrzhan Baitana stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Bauyrzhan Baitana and Taraz agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Taraz

Madiiar Nūraly 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

Nobody could get near Olzhas Ädil

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Atyrau watching Erkebūlan Toibekov

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Taraz have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad

No hiding place for Egor Ališauskas

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

Match

Tobol take the points off Taraz

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market

The clock runs on Nūrlan Däirov's contract

36 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Market

Taraz and Erasyl Keulimzhai are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.
