Market

Sherzodjon Komilov has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around AGMK they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Hamidullo Abdunabiyev knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at AGMK, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Sherzodjon Komilov

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

Still no signature from Hamidullo Abdunabiyev

2 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what AGMK could get for him.

Market

The Dilshodbek Ahmadaliyev talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. AGMK know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Squad

Avazbek O'lmasaliyev called up by his country

A window away with the national side, and a shirt at AGMK that briefly doubles as an advertisement. A call-up flatters the player and the club that built him in the same breath.

Market

Hamidullo Abdunabiyev is on his way

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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Rian Islomov

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Aziz Xolmurodov linked with a move away

The name of Aziz Xolmurodov keeps appearing in other people's back pages. AGMK say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad

Javohir Ilyosov: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” AGMK have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Boardroom

104% of the income goes out in wages at AGMK

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Market

AGMK and Hamidullo Abdunabiyev are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Loan watch

Ali Abdurahmonov is tired of being somebody else's player

“Another season, another badge, another dressing room to win over. I would like one pre-season at AGMK where somebody actually looks at me.” He belongs to Western Sydney Wanderers until the spell ends; the argument is with the club that owns him.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Naoaki Senaga

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

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.

AGMK lose Xondamir Mustafoqulov

Match

AGMK come up short against Nasaf

Nasaf left with the points after a 0-1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Saidavzalxon Ahrorov 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.

Squad

A first senior shirt for Odil Tukhtasinov

Every debut is a small story about the future: Odil Tukhtasinov, 17 years old, off the academy pitches and into the first team. The parents in the stand will keep the programme.

Market

Hamidullo Abdunabiyev runs his contract down

3 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs AGMK money.

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Match

AGMK make it 4 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now AGMK have 4 straight wins of it.

Squad

Uroš Kojić is carrying AGMK

16 goals and a season average of 7.23. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Match

AGMK find a way past Metallurg

Metallurg made AGMK work for it, but the scoreboard read 2-1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

Costly mistake from Umidjon Ergashev

An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Umidjon Ergashev knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Rian Islomov

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

Match

AGMK make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now AGMK have 3 straight wins of it.

Market

The Obod deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Hazratjon Tursunqulov reports back to AGMK with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Match

AGMK see off Mashal

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

Boardroom

Wages eat 117% of everything AGMK earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Asadbek Sobirjonov wants a proper job in this side

Shifted about, taken off before the hour, asked to do somebody else's running — Asadbek Sobirjonov has had enough of being useful and would like to be picked. AGMK know, and have known for weeks.

Costly mistake from Hamidullo Abdunabiyev

An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Hamidullo Abdunabiyev knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.

Loan watch

Ali Abdurahmonov has seen enough of Western Sydney Wanderers

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at AGMK, and 5 appearances in 19 say he has earned the hearing.

1-1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Everybody has an opinion about Uroš Kojić

He is the name in every column and on every phone-in, which is a heavy thing to carry at any age. Some footballers thrive on it; others are quietly finished by it.

Dilshodbek Ahmadaliyev knocks on the manager's door

Match

AGMK bow out of the cup

Pakhtakor go through and AGMK go home, 0-1 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Market

Abubakr-Rizo Turdialiyev asks to leave AGMK

“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

The manager makes an example of Babacar Sarr

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

No place for Giorgi Papava on the big day

He found out with everybody else, an hour before kick-off, from a sheet of paper on a wall. Nobody at AGMK pretended it was anything other than a decision about him.

Market

The Babacar Sarr talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. AGMK know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Squad

International call for Avazbek O'lmasaliyev

Avazbek O'lmasaliyev joins up with his country. AGMK lose him for the window and would like him back in one piece.

Siavash Haghnazari: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” AGMK have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Boardroom

444% of the income goes out in wages at AGMK

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Squad

Ahmadullo Muqumjonov out for 39 days

The medical room confirms 39 days on the sidelines for Ahmadullo Muqumjonov, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Hamidullo Abdunabiyev says AGMK went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Boardroom

Wages eat 801% of everything AGMK earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad

Asilbek No'monov signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Asilbek No'monov commits to AGMK for another 4 years.

Nasaf take the points off AGMK

Beaten 1-2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Still nobody has beaten AGMK

The unbeaten run reaches 10. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Match

AGMK find a way past Metallurg

Metallurg made AGMK work for it, but the scoreboard read 1-0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

At 31 he has made the position his own, and the man he took it from has to find something to say about it. AGMK have a decision that made itself.

Loan watch

4 goals on loan for Ali Abdurahmonov

3 appearances at Hapoel Kfar Saba and the goals keep coming. AGMK are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

Market

Xidirdavlat Raimqulov leaves AGMK for nothing

No fee, no negotiation, no argument: Xidirdavlat Raimqulov moves on to another club with his contract settled and the wage bill a little lighter.

Market

The window shut and Eldorbek Begimov is still in the building

Javohir Ilyosov keeps AGMK in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

The unbeaten run reaches 9. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. AGMK will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

AGMK run riot against Bukhara

3-0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

The fee is $110.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Sogdiana drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

48 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.
