From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Sarel Cohen is a Hapoel Kfar Saba 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.

Transfer targets

An offer of $130.0K for Yoav Koren

Hapoel Kfar Saba have gone to Hapoel Beer Sheva with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad

A falling-out at Hapoel Kfar Saba

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

The terraces

The town asked, and Hapoel Kfar Saba paid $800.0K

Sarel Cohen was the name on every phone-in, and the club has gone and signed him for $800.0K. For one week the board can do no wrong, which is a week most boards never get.

Squad

A row about effort at Hapoel Kfar Saba

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

Transfer targets

Hapoel Beer Sheva tell Hapoel Kfar Saba: Niv Eliasi 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

Hapoel Kfar Saba are still strangers to each other

14 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Market

Hapoel Kfar Saba sign Idan Trau, one for the future

Idan Trau is 19, and Hapoel Kfar Saba have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Niv Yehoshua is in the works

Hapoel Kfar Saba have made the call to Hapoel Beer Sheva. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

The drought breaks for Hapoel Kfar Saba

11 without a win is the sort of run that changes how a town talks about its club, and Beitar Jerusalem were the afternoon it stopped. Nothing is fixed by one result and everything feels different by one.

Squad

Tempers go at Hapoel Kfar Saba

Juan Pablo Barinaga 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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Michael Merenstein

Hapoel Kfar Saba asked and Hapoel Acre said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Niv Vaknin

At 19 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match

Hapoel Kfar Saba see off Beitar Jerusalem

Three points for Hapoel Kfar Saba, 1‑0 the final word against Beitar Jerusalem in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

Words at Hapoel Kfar Saba training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Omer Korsia 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.

Player ratings

Juan Pablo Barinaga runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Fábio signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Fábio and Hapoel Kfar Saba agree another 4 years.

Player ratings

Niv Vaknin takes the honours

Marked 7.36 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Hapoel Kfar Saba had the best player on the pitch.

In brief

28 Edition

The Hapoel Kfar Saba Post

8 Feb 2027
From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

The wait goes on for Hapoel Kfar Saba

11 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Market

Gilbert Bandama 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 Hapoel Kfar Saba can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Juan Pablo Barinaga

Successful dribbles: 28. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings

Sahar Hershkovich, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 7.64

A mark of 7.64 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

The dugout

Dan Kaduri keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Hapoel Kfar Saba may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Words exchanged at Hapoel Kfar Saba

Juan Pablo Barinaga 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

Fábio gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Fábio has just signed for Hapoel Kfar Saba, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

Words at Hapoel Kfar Saba training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Konadu Yiadom 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.

Transfer targets

Radnik Surdulica tell Hapoel Kfar Saba: Đorđe Jovanović 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.
