From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad24 Jul 2028

89 days out for Ahmed Hamed Shousha after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Ghazl El Mahalla will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market24 Jul 2028

Atef El Hakim has said yes to Wadi Degla

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Ghazl El Mahalla have lost him in all but the paperwork.

The dugout24 Jul 2028

Fares Nechat frozen out at Ghazl El Mahalla

This is not rotation. Fares Nechat has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Ghazl El Mahalla is pretending otherwise.

Transfer targets24 Jul 2028

Ghazl El Mahalla make their move for Ilias Boumassaoudi

$1.7M on the table at Zamalek. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad24 Jul 2028

Tempers go at Ghazl El Mahalla

Youssef El Azab 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 targets24 Jul 2028

Door shut on Mohamed Khalifa

Ghazl El Mahalla asked and Al Gaish said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad24 Jul 2028

A row about effort at Ghazl El Mahalla

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

The dugout24 Jul 2028

Abdo Yehia 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 Ghazl El Mahalla, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout24 Jul 2028

A promise honoured at Ghazl El Mahalla

Something was said to Rezk Basha and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad17 Jul 2028

A fracture rules Ahmed Hamed Shousha out for 97 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Ghazl El Mahalla will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Transfer targets17 Jul 2028

Ghazl El Mahalla rebuffed over Ilias Boumassaoudi

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Zamalek have kept their man, and Ghazl El Mahalla go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Transfer targets17 Jul 2028

An offer of $100.0K for Ali Hussein

Ghazl El Mahalla have gone to Wadi Degla 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.

Squad17 Jul 2028

Words at Ghazl El Mahalla training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Fares Nechat 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.

Squad17 Jul 2028

Tempers go at Ghazl El Mahalla

Bassam Walid 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 targets17 Jul 2028

Ghazl El Mahalla ask about Amine Aboulfath

A loan enquiry to Al Ahly: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Transfer targets17 Jul 2028

Ghazl El Mahalla ask about Mohamed Abdelfattah

A loan enquiry to Zamalek: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

The dugout17 Jul 2028

Youssef El Azab knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Youssef El Azab trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market17 Jul 2028

The Abdo Yehia story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Abdo Yehia signs something — a contract at Ghazl El Mahalla or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad27 Sep 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Ahmed El Aash

32 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Ghazl El Mahalla lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market27 Sep 2027

Rezk Basha asks to leave Ghazl El Mahalla

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad27 Sep 2027

A row about effort at Ghazl El Mahalla

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

Match25 Sep 2027

Ismaily take the points off Ghazl El Mahalla

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad27 Sep 2027

Words exchanged at Ghazl El Mahalla

Bassam Walid 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 dugout27 Sep 2027

El Sayed Mohsen faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” El Sayed Mohsen after 1‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout27 Sep 2027

Ahmed Yasser 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.

The dugout27 Sep 2027

Abdo Yehia 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.

Squad27 Sep 2027

The weekend belonged to Abdi Ineza

Player of the week, judged against every other man in the division. A small award, and one most careers never collect.

Squad6 Sep 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Ahmed El Aash

54 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Ghazl El Mahalla lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market6 Sep 2027

Abdoul Aziz Coulibaly asks to leave Ghazl El Mahalla

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Boardroom6 Sep 2027

Window shuts: 5 in, 3 out at Ghazl El Mahalla

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 5 arrived, 3 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Squad6 Sep 2027

Abdi Ineza signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Abdi Ineza and Ghazl El Mahalla agree another 4 years.

Squad6 Sep 2027

Tempers go at Ghazl El Mahalla

Rached Arfaoui 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 targets6 Sep 2027

Ghazl El Mahalla make their move for Ahmed Menshawi

$46.0K on the table at Ittihad. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad6 Sep 2027

Fares Nechat 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.

Transfer targets6 Sep 2027

Ghazl El Mahalla rebuffed over Omar Fayed

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Frosinone have kept their man, and Ghazl El Mahalla go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market6 Sep 2027

No place for Youssef El Azab in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Youssef El Azab has his answer from Ghazl El Mahalla; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

In brief
