Market

Hajer sell their best player to Tractor

$6.0M is a serious amount of money and it does not play centre-forward. Everybody in the dressing room knows who used to be looked at when it went wrong.

Squad

25 days out for Bakary Coulibaly after a fracture

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

The terraces

Supporters turn on the $6.0M sale of Shahab Zahedi

He is going to Tractor, the club has $6.0M it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Market

Hajer turn down Sandefjord for Shahzodbek Ubaydullayev

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Albert Amoah signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Albert Amoah commits to Hajer for another 4 years.

Squad

Bassam Hazazi is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

A late step up for Abdullah Al-Anazi

At 24 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Transfer targets

Hajer rebuffed over Eyad Tamer

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

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Albert Amoah

“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.

In brief
