Match

No end in sight to Hajer's wait for a win

10 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Hajer has to find a result from somewhere.

Match

Hajer bow out of the cup

Al-Fateh go through and Hajer go home, 0-1 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Market

Danijel Zagorac asks to leave Hajer

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match

Hajer sink to position 12

9 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Match

A bad afternoon for Hajer against Al-Nassr

1-2 to Al-Nassr, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Faisal Al-Ghamdi

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Nawaf Al-Aqidi: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Hajer have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match

No end in sight to Hajer's wait for a win

8 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Hajer has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Nawaf Al-Aqidi keeps Hajer in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match

Hajer come up short against Al-Ahli

Al-Ahli left with the points after a 1-2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Jhon Cabal

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

Abdulrahman Al-Harthi placed on the list

Hajer have made Abdulrahman Al-Harthi available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Squad

Abdulrahman Al-Harthi is off the mark for Hajer

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Market

Hajer bring in Mohammad Hosseini on loan

A season-long audition: Rah Ahan still own him, but the shirt and the minutes are Hajer's to give. A loan is a bet both clubs believe they are winning.

Market

Hajer pick up Daniil Tarassenkov for nothing

The best deals are the ones the accountants never notice. Daniil Tarassenkov arrives at Hajer with his wages the only cost and something to prove the only clause.

7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Hajer has to find a result from somewhere.

Market

Baggio is a Hajer player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Waleed Al-Khaibari is a Hajer player again

Ibrahim Al-Mansour is a Hajer player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Market

Salman Al-Shehri comes home

The shirt still fits. Salman Al-Shehri is back at Hajer, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Bader Nasser

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
