Market

Facundo Kruspzky agrees terms with MC Alger

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Al Wahda people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market

Zayed Ahmed 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 The request is on a desk at Al Wahda, and it is not being withdrawn.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

Mohammad Ghorbani moves on

Al Ain pay $3.4M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Market

Al Wahda say no — this time

The offer from Al Shabab for Oumarou Diadje 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.

Transfer targets

Al Dhafra tell Al Wahda: Abderahmane Soussi 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.

Boardroom

Al Wahda go back to the board over Oumar Traoré

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $1.1M — a club that wants Oumar Traoré enough to be asked twice.

Squad

A falling-out at Al Wahda

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

Squad

Lautaro Montenegro falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Facundo Insfrán still has not settled

A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at Al Wahda would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.

In brief

  • Squad Dušan Tadić is training like a man with a point to make
  • The dugout Guga keeps his manager's vote
