Match16 Oct 2027

No end in sight to Neftchi's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Neftchi has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad18 Oct 2027

The manager makes an example of Falaye Sacko

“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.

Eddy Nadirov wants to come home

“I did not go to Kayserispor to sit and watch. I want to come back to Neftchi and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 14 matches say the rest.

Match16 Oct 2027

Neftchi and Zira cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Zira came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Andreaw Gravillon linked with a move away

The name of Andreaw Gravillon keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Neftchi say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad18 Oct 2027

Jordan Rezabala 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 Neftchi, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Albert Zambrano: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Neftchi have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Emin Mahmudov 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.

Market8 Feb 2027

Neftchi and Brayan Velarde 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.

Herald Marku 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 Neftchi can pretend not to have heard.

Neftchi turn down Qarabag for Imad Faraj

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

Squad11 Jan 2027

Elvin Bədəlov says Neftchi 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.

Emil Səfərov has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Neftchi they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Neftchi and Brayan Velarde 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.

Emin Mahmudov asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
