Mostafa Anani 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 The request is on a desk at Aswan, and it is not being withdrawn.

Boardroom

Window shuts: 16 in, 1 out at Aswan

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 16 arrived, 1 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Squad

Words exchanged at Aswan

Islam Gamal and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Cyriaque Sylla 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Abdelaziz Mousa

“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.

Transfer targets

Aswan ask about Ziad Ayoub

A loan enquiry to Al Ahly: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Squad

A step back for Abdelrahman Magdy at Aswan

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

Market

Aswan and Ibrahim El Asyuti are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad

Hossam Arafat moves up the pecking order

Nothing is announced when this happens and everybody knows. He is a bigger part of the plan at Aswan than he was a month ago, and the training ground worked that out before the team sheet said so.

In brief
