Valeri Shantenkov says no to Tulevik
“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Valeri Shantenkov had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Denis Sibul 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 Narva Trans can pretend not to have heard.

Markus Tamm steps up from the Narva Trans academy

Oliver Jürgens has outgrown this division
There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Narva Trans know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

A season on the outside for Mattias Sapp
He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Narva Trans has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.
