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.

Market

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.

Transfer targets

Sander Vassiljev will not be coming to Narva Trans

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Sillamae Kalev is saying, and nobody at Narva Trans is enjoying the guessing.

Squad

A falling-out at Narva Trans

Cristian Campagna and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets

Narva Trans rebuffed over Mamadou Maïga

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

Market

Markus Tamm steps up from the Narva Trans academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Markus Tamm has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Narva Trans promote Erik Pikk from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Erik Pikk has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Squad

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.

Squad

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.

Squad

A career in one shirt: Artjom Škinjov

14 seasons and 306 appearances, all of them here. Careers like this are not designed; they happen to a certain kind of man at a certain kind of club, and this town has one.

Squad

Oliver Jürgens gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Oliver Jürgens has just signed for Narva Trans, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

Cristian Campagna signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Cristian Campagna commits to Narva Trans for another 4 years.

Squad

Words exchanged at Narva Trans

Cristian Campagna 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.

Transfer targets

Isloch tell Narva Trans: Maxim Kovalevich is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market

Valeri Shantenkov attracts admirers

The name of Valeri Shantenkov has come up in conversations Narva Trans were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.
