Transfer targets

Door shut on Ammar Ramadan

Hapoel Tel Aviv asked and DAC Dunajska Streda said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

The terraces

Hapoel Tel Aviv sell a favourite for $1.7M

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Anas Mahamid was one of the reasons people came, and $1.7M does not replace that by itself.

Transfer targets

Too dear: Hapoel Tel Aviv walk away from Ben Lederman

$1.2M was the most the club would pay and Maccabi Tel Aviv were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Market

Hapoel Tel Aviv sell Anas Mahamid for $1.7M

Anas Mahamid has left for Hapoel Kfar Saba in a $1.7M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Transfer targets

Hapoel Tel Aviv bid $620.0K for Liam Hermesh

The offer went to Maccabi Haifa this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Boardroom

Hapoel Tel Aviv go back to the board over Liam Hermesh

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $609.5K — a club that wants Liam Hermesh enough to be asked twice.

Boardroom

1 academy players handed senior numbers at Hapoel Tel Aviv

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Market

One of our own: Itay David joins the Hapoel Tel Aviv first team

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

Transfer targets

Hapoel Tel Aviv try to borrow Leonel Pérez

Grêmio have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Transfer targets

Hapoel Tel Aviv baulk at the price for Mohamed Camara

Maccabi Tel Aviv wanted more than $5.0M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Durel Avounou

Hapoel Tel Aviv asked and Bnei Sakhnin said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

Hapoel Tel Aviv spend $940.0K to raise the standard

This is not cover and nobody is pretending it is. $940.0K has been paid because Ivo Mammini is straightforwardly better than what was already here, and the club has decided to stop waiting.

Market

Hapoel Tel Aviv turn down Hapoel Kiryat Shmona for Dan Dabbur

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Hapoel Tel Aviv

Falcão 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

Dor Benyamini attracts admirers

The name of Dor Benyamini has come up in conversations Hapoel Tel Aviv were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

No place for Ivo Mammini in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Hapoel Tel Aviv are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Squad

7 new faces, and Hapoel Tel Aviv are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Transfer targets

Hapoel Tel Aviv try to borrow Evertton Araújo

Flamengo have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Transfer targets

An offer of $940.0K for Ivo Mammini

Hapoel Tel Aviv have gone to Gimnasia La Plata 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.

Squad

Stav Toriel signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Stav Toriel and Hapoel Tel Aviv agree another 5 years.

Squad

A falling-out at Hapoel Tel Aviv

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

Transfer targets

Maccabi Petach Tikva tell Hapoel Tel Aviv: Guy Dezent 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Andrian Kraev

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Andrian Kraev, and the manager let it.

Market

One of our own: Omer Revivo joins the Hapoel Tel Aviv first team

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

Market

Itay Natcho steps up from the Hapoel Tel Aviv academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Itay Natcho has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

One of our own: Uri David joins the Hapoel Tel Aviv first team

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

Market

Hapoel Tel Aviv promote Dan Dabbur from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Dan Dabbur 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.
