From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Mohammed Al-Fuhaid

122 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Al-Jeel lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

Hani Al-Sebyani 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 The request is on a desk at Al-Jeel, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Al-Jeel say no — this time

The offer from Al-Faisaly for Nafea Al-Sumairi 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

Home is on Bokamoso Taukobong's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Al-Jeel are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad

Maxwell Quaye in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Al-Jeel this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

An offer of $8.0K for Emad Fidaa

Al-Jeel have gone to Al-Nahda 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.

Transfer targets

Hajer tell Al-Jeel: Saleh Al-Rahmani 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 at Al-Jeel training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Thamer Al-Arjan 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.

Boardroom

86% of the income goes out in wages at Al-Jeel

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Boardroom

Al-Jeel close the window on a squad of their own making

2 in and 3 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Market

Bimo Irawan 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 Al-Jeel, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets

Al-Jeel make their move for Thabiso Msane

$89.0K on the table at Al-Saudi Al-Watani. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Match

Al-Jeel find a way past Al-Riyadh

Al-Riyadh made Al-Jeel work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

Words exchanged at Al-Jeel

Nafea Al-Sumairi 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.

Transfer targets

Luca Ramirez stays at Al-Riyadh as time runs out

A deal that was a phone call from completion at lunchtime was dead by midnight. Al-Jeel will try again when the window opens; Al-Riyadh may not be selling by then.

Player ratings

Amer Khalil in the eights

A performance of 8.16 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings

Hazzaa Al-Ghamdi was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.01. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Loan watch

Asanele Shibe wants to come home

“I did not go to Ohod to sit and watch. I want to come back to Al-Jeel and fight for my place.” 22 appearances in 24 matches say the rest.
