Market

Antonis Koumis 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 The request is on a desk at Agia Napa, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets

Thanasis Papadoudis due for a Agia Napa medical

Everything agreed with Pafos, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad

Benjamín Albermager arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Benjamín Albermager has, at Agia Napa, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad

A row about effort at Agia Napa

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

Transfer targets

AEL tell Agia Napa: Savvas Christodoulou 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

Words exchanged at Agia Napa

Rúben Cabral 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Antonis Tsiaras

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

Still no ink between Agia Napa and Anthony Scully

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Agia Napa, another week without a signature from Anthony Scully.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Yahav Gurfinkel is in the works

Agia Napa have made the call to AE Kition. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Squad

Words exchanged at Agia Napa

Marios Peratikos 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

Words at Agia Napa training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Anthony Scully 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

Rúben Cabral is a square peg at Agia Napa

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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Marco Vanzini

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout

Antonis Tsiaras 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 Agia Napa, and both men came out saying it was fine.
