Market

Facundo Insfrán says no to Padideh

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Facundo Insfrán had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Transfer targets

Al Wahda agree $220.0K for Iago

The clubs have shaken hands with Dibba; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Market

Alaeddine Zouhir puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Al Wahda, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Al Wahda say no — this time

The offer from Ghazl El Mahalla for Favour Ogbu 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

A row about effort at Al Wahda

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

Market

Renné Rivas has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Al Wahda can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Market

Abdulla Hamad says no to Ismaily

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Abdulla Hamad had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Nicolás Giménez

Al Wahda asked and Al Wasl said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Transfer targets

An offer of $680.0K for Mateo Karamatić

Al Wahda have gone to Al Nasr with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Transfer targets

Al Wahda make their move for Abdallah Al-Blooshi

$610.0K on the table at Dibba. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Boardroom

Al Wahda go back to the board over Abdallah Al-Blooshi

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $665.4K — a club that wants Abdallah Al-Blooshi enough to be asked twice.

Squad

Words exchanged at Al Wahda

Dušan Tadić and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market

Facundo Insfrán attracts admirers

The name of Facundo Insfrán has come up in conversations Al Wahda were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Market

Salem Al Kamali steps up from the Al Wahda academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Salem Al Kamali 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.

Market

Hamdan Al Suwaidi steps up from the Al Wahda academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Hamdan Al Suwaidi 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.

Squad

A career in one shirt: Mohammed Al-Shamsi

11 seasons and 144 appearances, all of them here. Careers like this are not designed; they happen to a certain kind of man at a certain kind of club, and this town has one.

Market

Al-Nahda come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Al Wahda did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Omar Khribin raises the bar for Al Wahda

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Al Wahda heard it as anything else.

Squad

Dušan Tadić stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Dušan Tadić and Al Wahda agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

A falling-out at Al Wahda

Dušan Tadić and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market

Ismaily watching Abdulla Hamad

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