Market

Ali Hussein is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Wadi Degla is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Tempers go at Wadi Degla

Danijel Miškić 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.

Player ratings

Thomas Amang runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Wadi Degla say no — this time

The offer from Arab Contractors for Ali Hussein 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.

Market

Shady Maher hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Wadi Degla can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Tempers go at Wadi Degla

Mees Kaandorp 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.

Squad

Winful Cobbinah gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Words at Wadi Degla training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kano is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

Ahmed Farouk rescues a point for Wadi Degla

It needed Ahmed Farouk to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Smouha, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.
