Transfer targets

Oleksandriya rebuffed over Federico Girotti

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

Transfer targets

No deal for Pedrinho at that price

Oleksandriya offered $4.3M; Shakhtar said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Market

Aliou Thiaré arrives at Oleksandriya in a $2.0M statement of intent

There comes a point where a club either backs its own ambition or admits it does not have any. Oleksandriya have paid $2.0M for Aliou Thiaré, which is the loudest way there is of saying which one it chose.

Market

Oleksandriya turn down Feniks for Mateus Amaral

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Tempers go at Oleksandriya

Fernando Henrique 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.

Match

Kolos take the points off Oleksandriya

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Denys Sliusar 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

The formation has left Aliou Thiaré behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Oleksandriya will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

Squad

12 new faces, and Oleksandriya are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

In brief
