The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 18 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

Dilshodbek Ahmadaliyev 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.

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.

A loan move for Maxim Voronov is in the works
AGMK have made the call to CSKA Moscow. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

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.

The crowd has taken to Uroš Kojić
At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Successful dribbles: 19. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

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.

Successful dribbles: 39. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The small margins put AGMK out
Out, 0‑1 to Qizilqum, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

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

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 7 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Ordabasy come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and AGMK did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Everything agreed with Alashkert, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

AGMK had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Dinamo Minsk, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Tempers go at AGMK
Dilshodbek Ahmadaliyev 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.

Navbahor left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Akbar O'ktamov has agreed terms with Navbahor for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

A falling-out at AGMK
Dilshodbek Ahmadaliyev and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Ulugbek Suyunov 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.

One of our own: Akmal Ismailov joins the AGMK first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Akmal Ismailov is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
Market10 Aug 2026
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Eldor Mirzaev 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.

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Bobur Suyunov 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.

Three points for AGMK, 1‑0 the final word against Bukhara in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at AGMK is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

The name of Ali Abdurahmonov has come up in conversations AGMK were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Sportivo Luqueno wanted more than $480.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Words exchanged at AGMK
Dilshodbek Ahmadaliyev 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.

AGMK asked and Baniyas said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

AGMK get the job done against Andijon
A 1‑0 win over Andijon, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Words at AGMK training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Abubakr-Rizo Turdialiyev 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.
