Market

Mohamed Atwa 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 Police Union can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

A move Daniel Agara would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Daniel Agara is living that version at Police Union, and it tends to show in the first month.

Market

Paradou watching Ibrahim Ayoola

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Police Union have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Transfer targets

Hesham Mostafa turns down Police Union

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Al Ahly keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Transfer targets

Police Union make their move for Ahmed Menshawi

$180.0K on the table at Ittihad. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad

A falling-out at Police Union

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

Squad

A row about effort at Police Union

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Basem Ali was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Omar Kamel

Police Union asked and Al Ahly said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

One of our own: Walid Hegazi joins the Police Union first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Walid Hegazi is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Squad

Sadiq Ali gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Sadiq Ali has just signed for Police Union, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

Ahmed Abdallah signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Ahmed Abdallah commits to Police Union for another 2 years.

Transfer targets

Al Gaish tell Police Union: Mohamed Shaaban 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.

Squad

Ahmed Nabil Manga is a square peg at Police Union

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.

Market

Still no ink between Police Union and Abdulmajid Aminu

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Police Union, another week without a signature from Abdulmajid Aminu.

Squad

18 new faces, and Police Union are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Transfer targets

Police Union try to borrow Mostafa Sobhi

Arab Contractors have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Transfer targets

Police Union try to borrow Hesham Mostafa

Al Ahly have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Transfer targets

Police Union ask about Mostafa Hamdi

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