Salem Al-Toiawy says no to Al-Saudi Al-Watani

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

Al-Riyadh tell Al-Ta'ee: Adulrahman Al-Shammari 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.

One of our own: Saeed Al-Sulami joins the Al-Ta'ee first team

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

Al-Ta'ee promote Saad Al-Subaie from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Saad Al-Subaie has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Al-Ta'ee promote Ali Al-Juhani from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Ali Al-Juhani has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Joy Manana signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Joy Manana and Al-Ta'ee agree another 3 years.

A falling-out at Al-Ta'ee

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

Al-Ta'ee ask about Faris Salem

A loan enquiry to Al-Nassr: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Al-Ta'ee try to borrow Rashid Al-Shammari

Al-Mojzel have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

In brief

  • Squad Too much change too quickly at Al-Ta'ee
  • Squad A row about effort at Al-Ta'ee
  • Looking ahead Looking ahead: Al-Jeel at home

Luis Haquín signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Luis Haquín and Al-Ta'ee agree another 4 years.

Tempers go at Al-Ta'ee

Luis Haquín 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.

Al-Saudi Al-Watani join the queue for Salem Al-Toiawy

Add another name to the list: Al-Saudi Al-Watani have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Salem Al-Toiawy. The answer from Al-Ta'ee has not changed — yet.

Talks stall between Al-Ta'ee and Luis Haquín

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

A loan move for Adulrahman Al-Shammari is in the works

Al-Ta'ee have made the call to Al-Riyadh. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

A row about effort at Al-Ta'ee

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