Ibrahim El Kadi damages knee ligaments — 105 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 105 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.

Abdelrahman Akmal 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 The request is on a desk at Arab Contractors, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Sharjah come back empty-handed

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

Player ratings

Ahmed Ouled Behi runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Tempers go at Arab Contractors

Shokry Naguib 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.

Squad

Words at Arab Contractors training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mostafa Gamal 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.

Squad

Wilson Harris gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Wilson Harris has just signed for Arab Contractors, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

Mahmoud Aboul Saoud has been here 11 seasons

294 appearances across 11 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Arab Contractors say no — this time

The offer from El Dakhleya for Ahmed Fouad was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Shokry Naguib stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Shokry Naguib and Arab Contractors agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Arab Contractors

Shokry Naguib 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.

Still no ink between Arab Contractors and Louay Wael

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Arab Contractors, another week without a signature from Louay Wael.
