Market

Rachid Barro says no to Považská Bystrica

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Rachid Barro had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Market

Eyes on Ammar Ramadan again

The phone has started ringing about Ammar Ramadan again, and this time the name on the line is Slovan Liberec. DAC Dunajska Streda are listening politely and promising nothing.

Market

DAC Dunajska Streda turn down Nomme Kalju for Leandro Filipe

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

Boardroom

DAC Dunajska Streda go back to the board over Papa Diouf

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $45.5K — a club that wants Papa Diouf enough to be asked twice.

Squad

Words exchanged at DAC Dunajska Streda

Ammar Ramadan 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.

Market

Business is business: Karol Blaško goes

MSK Zilina paid $430.0K and DAC Dunajska Streda took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Papa Diouf

DAC Dunajska Streda asked and AS Trencin said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

The terraces

DAC Dunajska Streda supporters have found a favourite in Andrés Romero

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Andrés Romero has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

DAC Dunajska Streda see off Podbrezova

Three points for DAC Dunajska Streda, 2‑0 the final word against Podbrezova in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Market

Not going: Eymard Bationo stays at DAC Dunajska Streda

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Slovan Bratislava had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Player ratings

Both of them Ammar Ramadan's — 8.47

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.47, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Transfer targets

$1.3M settles it between the clubs for Róbert Polievka

MTK Budapest have accepted the money. What DAC Dunajska Streda do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Player ratings

Samsondin Ouro goes up and wins it — 7.32

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.32 for the rest of it.

Market

DAC Dunajska Streda say no — this time

The offer from KFC Komárno for Karol Blaško 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.

Boardroom

DAC Dunajska Streda go back to the board over Andrei Gabriele Florea

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $45.5K — a club that wants Andrei Gabriele Florea enough to be asked twice.

Squad

Andreas Gruber signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Andreas Gruber and DAC Dunajska Streda agree another 3 years.

Squad

Ammar Ramadan 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 DAC Dunajska Streda this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

An offer of $42.0K for Andrei Gabriele Florea

DAC Dunajska Streda have gone to MSK Zilina with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Market

Sydney FC come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and DAC Dunajska Streda did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets

DAC Dunajska Streda bid $940.0K for Róbert Polievka

The offer went to MTK Budapest this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Squad

Aljaž Ivačič stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Aljaž Ivačič and DAC Dunajska Streda agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at DAC Dunajska Streda

Ammar Ramadan 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

Eymard Bationo attracts admirers

The name of Eymard Bationo has come up in conversations DAC Dunajska Streda were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

A row about effort at DAC Dunajska Streda

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

The dugout

Aljaž Ivačič 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.

Market

Talks stall between DAC Dunajska Streda and Aljaž Ivačič

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad

Leandro Filipe wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at DAC Dunajska Streda can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.
