The knee: Hélder Lopes out for 51 days

51 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Hapoel Beer Sheva lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Transfer targets21 Jun 2027

An offer of $10.1M for Cédric Don

Hapoel Beer Sheva have gone to Maccabi Haifa 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.

Market21 Jun 2027

Hapoel Beer Sheva sell Amir Ganah for $2.2M

Amir Ganah has left for Maccabi Petach Tikva in a $2.2M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Market21 Jun 2027

Borneo come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Hapoel Beer Sheva did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Boardroom21 Jun 2027

Hapoel Beer Sheva go back to the board over Cédric Don

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $11.3M — a club that wants Cédric Don enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets21 Jun 2027

Hapoel Beer Sheva baulk at the price for Shareef Kayouf

Maccabi Haifa wanted more than $800.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Squad21 Jun 2027

Words exchanged at Hapoel Beer Sheva

Djibril Diop 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.

Squad21 Jun 2027

Real improvement from Athos Thawan at Hapoel Beer Sheva

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Athos Thawan is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Market21 Jun 2027

Hapoel Beer Sheva sell Marco Wolff for $420.0K

Marco Wolff has left for Hapoel Kiryat Shmona in a $420.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad17 May 2027

Hélder Lopes damages knee ligaments — 93 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 93 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad17 May 2027

Ofir Davidzada 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.

Squad17 May 2027

A falling-out at Hapoel Beer Sheva

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

The dugout17 May 2027

Eliel Peretz gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Eliel Peretz is on it.

The dugout17 May 2027

Amit Ohana 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.

Market17 May 2027

The Hamode Kanaan story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Hamode Kanaan signs something — a contract at Hapoel Beer Sheva or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Match17 May 2027

Hapoel Beer Sheva have something to play for

Position 6 on 42 points, and the places that carry a European ticket are close enough to count. Seasons like this are decided by two results in April, and the club knows which two.

Loan watch17 May 2027

3 goals on loan for Adrián Ugarriza

8 appearances at Bnei Sakhnin and the goals keep coming. Hapoel Beer Sheva are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

Squad17 May 2027

A season on the outside for Ryan

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Hapoel Beer Sheva has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

Squad19 Apr 2027

Hélder Lopes damages knee ligaments — 130 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 130 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

The dugout19 Apr 2027

Roy Levy keeps the receipts

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

The dugout19 Apr 2027

When it matters, Eliel Peretz plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad19 Apr 2027

Ryan is a square peg at Hapoel Beer Sheva

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.

Market19 Apr 2027

Hamode Kanaan linked with a move away

The name of Hamode Kanaan keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Hapoel Beer Sheva say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout19 Apr 2027

Amir Ganah asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Match19 Apr 2027

Hapoel Beer Sheva in the hunt for Europe

Position 6, 42 points, and a run-in that decides whether next season has Thursday nights in it. Nobody is calling it a race yet, which is what people say during one.

Loan watch19 Apr 2027

3 goals on loan for Adrián Ugarriza

8 appearances at Bnei Sakhnin and the goals keep coming. Hapoel Beer Sheva are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

Squad12 Apr 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Hélder Lopes

139 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Hapoel Beer Sheva lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad12 Apr 2027

A falling-out at Hapoel Beer Sheva

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

Squad12 Apr 2027

A row about effort at Hapoel Beer Sheva

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

Squad12 Apr 2027

Time is catching up with Hélder Lopes

Everybody at Hapoel Beer Sheva saw it before anybody said it, which is how this always goes. At 38 the decline is real and measurable — 3 points — and the only question left is how the club handles somebody it owes a great deal to.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

A promise honoured for Amir Ganah

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Hapoel Beer Sheva told Amir Ganah something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Market12 Apr 2027

The Igor Zlatanović talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Hapoel Beer Sheva know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

Hélder Lopes has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Hapoel Beer Sheva will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

Héctor Hernández has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Héctor Hernández has written the date down.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

Amir Ganah knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Hapoel Beer Sheva, and both men came out saying it was fine.
