Squad

Adham Hamed damages knee ligaments — 101 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 101 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.

Match

Nowhere to hide for Petrojet

0‑3 against El Masry, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Market

Gabriel Chukwudi turns ES Ben Aknoun down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Market

Petrojet say no — this time

The offer from ES Ben Aknoun for Fathy Mohsen 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.

Transfer targets

Petrojet agree $250.0K for Mohamed El Araby

The clubs have shaken hands with El Dakhleya; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Boardroom

Petrojet go back to the board over Ismail Ashraf

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $20.0K — a club that wants Ismail Ashraf enough to be asked twice.

Squad

A falling-out at Petrojet

Canaria and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market

Petrojet sign Hazem Gamal for $49.0K

The paperwork is done: Hazem Gamal joins from Al Ahly in a deal worth $49.0K. Now comes the harder part.

Transfer targets

Petrojet make their move for Ismail Ashraf

$18.0K on the table at Haras El Hodoud. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Market

MC El Bayadh come back empty-handed

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

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Siyabonga Mabena

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Masr El Makasa have done the hard part with Mamelodi Sundowns, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Transfer targets

Kutlwano Letlhaku will not be coming to Masr El Makasa

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Mamelodi Sundowns is saying, and nobody at Masr El Makasa is enjoying the guessing.

Squad

Shikabala Mohsen stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Shikabala Mohsen and Masr El Makasa agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

A falling-out at Masr El Makasa

Ali Tarek and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market

Masr El Makasa sell Fathy Mohsen for $490.0K

Fathy Mohsen has left for Petrojet in a $490.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Market

Masr El Makasa promote Shikabala Trezeguet from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Shikabala Trezeguet has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

One of our own: Karim Ghaly joins the Masr El Makasa first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Karim Ghaly is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Squad

Ashraf Marwan 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.

Market

Paradou come back empty-handed

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Masr El Makasa

Ali Tarek 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.

Market

Abdallah El Mohamady attracts admirers

The name of Abdallah El Mohamady has come up in conversations Masr El Makasa were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Transfer targets

Masr El Makasa ask about Siyabonga Mabena

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

The dugout

Shikabala Mohsen 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 Shikabala Mohsen trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

Karim El Shenawy is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Masr El Makasa has been clear about where Karim El Shenawy stands, which is more than many ever get.
