The offer from Flora for Oskar Hõim 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.

Add another name to the list: Tulevik have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Pa Modou Sohna. The answer from Paide has not changed — yet.
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gerdo Juhkam 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.

Siim Luts falls out with a teammate over standards
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.

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Karol Hein 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.
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Sander Sappinen is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
“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 Paide, and 0 appearances in 9 say he has earned the hearing.

7 new faces, and Paide are still learning each other
A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Bubacarr Trawally signs something — a contract at Paide or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

The training ground goes quiet for a fortnight. 4 men have gone off to be somebody else’s players, and the manager is left with the ones nobody has called.
A call-up flatters the player and the club that produced him in the same breath. Paide would like him back in one piece and know they will not be consulted.

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Henri Anier trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
Paide close the window on a squad of their own making
13 in and 5 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.
The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Suduva moved on, Bubacarr Trawally reports back to Paide, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

4 call-ups is a compliment to the squad and a headache for the man running it. He will get them back in a fortnight, tired, in various states of repair.

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Sillamae Kalev have kept their man, and Paide go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
7 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.
Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Paide will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.
A new face in his position and a shirt he thought he owned suddenly up for discussion. Paide have promised nothing, which is what clubs promise at this stage.
A season-long audition: Nomme Kalju still own him, but the shirt and the minutes are Paide's to give. A loan is a bet both clubs believe they are winning.
Nomme Kalju go through and Paide 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.
Paide offered $21.0K; Nomme Kalju said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑1 Konstantin Baranov left the room before anybody could ask which.

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Momodou Jobarteh had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.
Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Levadia waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Paide is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Paide asked and Sillamae Kalev 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 phone has started ringing about Henrik Ojamaa again, and this time the name on the line is Neftekhimik. Paide are listening politely and promising nothing.
The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Mattias Sapp has agreed terms with Flora for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.
