Market

Cheick Kone asks to leave Bylis

“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

Words at Bylis training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gjorgi Stoilov 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.

Squad

Henri Sulovari in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bylis this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words exchanged at Bylis

Dime Dimov 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.

Squad

Pedro Vieira 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

Faisal Charwetey remains an outsider

A year in and the city has not opened up, the language has not come, and lunch is eaten alone more often than anybody at Bylis would admit. It shows on Saturdays.

Market

Bylis put Cheick Kone up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Cheick Kone may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Market

Ahmed Sanogo goes out on loan

The minutes were not coming at Bylis, so he will look for them at Korabi Peshkopi. Everybody involved calls it development; for the player it is simply a chance to play.

Market

Henri Bega leaves on loan

Henri Bega joins Vora on loan in search of the minutes he could not find at Bylis.

Market

Terms done: Ahmed Sanogo is going

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

Market

Bylis say no — this time

The offer from Iliria Fushë-Krujë for Ahmed Adepoju 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.

Market

Pogradeci watching Manuel Hajrullaj

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

Squad

Bylis are still strangers to each other

11 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Loan watch

Paulo Pjeshka wants to come home

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

Market

Bylis turn down Pogradeci for Abdulhamid Kabiru

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

Squad

Olávio Olávio signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Olávio Olávio and Bylis agree another 2 years.

Words exchanged at Bylis

Olávio Olávio 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.

Gjorgi Stoilov 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.

Besa Kavajë watching Ahmed Sanogo

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

Squad

Ibrahim Akibu wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Bylis know it.
