Al-Fateh tell Al-Wehda: Fahad Al-Zubaidi 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.

No thanks: Houssine Rahimi rejects the move

Al-Wehda had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Al Ain, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

A row about effort at Al-Wehda

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Augustine Oladapo was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
