Market

Radnik Surdulica turn down Kabel for Aleksandar Pejović

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Savo Rašković has said yes to Zemun

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Radnik Surdulica have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Player ratings

Ayouba Kosiah scores twice — 8.10

Two goals and a mark of 8.10 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad

Martin Novaković signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Martin Novaković commits to Radnik Surdulica for another 4 years.

Match

Ayouba Kosiah among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Ayouba Kosiah on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Radnik Surdulica and Zeleznicar Pancevo.

Transfer targets

CSKA Moscow tell Radnik Surdulica: Milan Gajić 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.

Squad

Rafael Pontelo in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Radnik Surdulica this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Martin Novaković

“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

One of our own: Sasa Pavlovic joins the Radnik Surdulica first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Sasa Pavlovic is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

Stefan Ranđelović has been here 9 seasons

140 appearances across 9 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Market

Radnik Surdulica say no — this time

The offer from BSK Bijelo Brdo for Lazar Stojanović 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.

Squad

Haris Hajdarević signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Haris Hajdarević commits to Radnik Surdulica for another 3 years.

Squad

Aleksandar Pejović in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Radnik Surdulica this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Radnik Surdulica training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Sandro Trémoulet 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.

Transfer targets

Radnik Surdulica rebuffed over Bohdan Budko

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

Match

Partizan take the points off Radnik Surdulica

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market

Soroksár watching Tom Kljun

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Radnik Surdulica have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

The dugout

Vukašin Bogdanović 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.

In brief
