Market

El Masry turn down Wadi Degla for Moustafa Zeidan

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

Market

Ahmed Waheb turns Military Production down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Squad

Moustafa Zeidan signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Moustafa Zeidan commits to El Masry for another 4 years.

Squad

Karim El Eraki 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 El Masry this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Moustafa Zeidan 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.

Market

El Masry promote Ali Marwan from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Ali Marwan 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.

Market

El Masry promote Ibrahim Ghaly from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Ibrahim Ghaly 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

Sunusi Ibrahim is a square peg at El Masry

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Faisal Hussain is in the works

El Masry have made the call to Al Ahli. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

In brief
