Market

Al-Ta'ee turn down Al-Taawoun for Jonata Machado

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

Transfer targets

Ahmed Al-Shamrani due for a Al-Ta'ee medical

Everything agreed with Al-Hazem, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Transfer targets

Talal Haji will not be coming to Al-Ta'ee

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Al-Ittihad is saying, and nobody at Al-Ta'ee is enjoying the guessing.

Squad

Luis Haquín 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 Al-Ta'ee this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Al-Ta'ee rebuffed over Osama Al-Mermesh

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Al-Ittihad have kept their man, and Al-Ta'ee go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market

One of our own: Sami Al-Harbi joins the Al-Ta'ee first team

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

Market

One of our own: Hassan Al-Ghamdi joins the Al-Ta'ee first team

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

Market

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

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Saad Al-Rashid 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.

Squad

A season on the outside for Arwin Javad

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Al-Ta'ee has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

In brief

Market

MB Rouissat come back empty-handed

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

Squad

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.

Squad

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.

Market

Al-Saudi Al-Watani watching Ammar Al-Ammar

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

Squad

Arwin Javad has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Al-Ta'ee know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Market

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.

In brief
