Squad

Danilo Fonseca: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Al Fujairah have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Gonzalo Rivas stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Gonzalo Rivas and Al Fujairah agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Match

Al Fujairah find a way past Emirates Club

Emirates Club made Al Fujairah work for it, but the scoreboard read 2-1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Kweku Estine says Al Fujairah went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Kweku Estine is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Al Fujairah is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Boardroom

94% of the income goes out in wages at Al Fujairah

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Squad

Erik 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 Al Fujairah, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

Al Fujairah pick up Igor Leonardi for nothing

The best deals are the ones the accountants never notice. Igor Leonardi arrives at Al Fujairah with his wages the only cost and something to prove the only clause.

Market

Still no signature from Sultan Fayez

1 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what Al Fujairah could get for him.
