The Podbrezova Sentinel

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Ousman Kujabi is on his way

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

Boardroom

Ousman Kujabi has agreed to leave Podbrezova for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad

Luka Silagadze signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Luka Silagadze and Podbrezova agree another 4 years.

Tempers go at Podbrezova

Luka Silagadze 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.

Radek Šiler 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Luka Silagadze

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Matúš Marcin 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.

Player ratings

Andriy Havrylenko shuts the door

Defensive actions: 17, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Market

The clock runs on Rene Rantuša Lampreht's contract

49 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.

In brief
