Market

Beitar Jerusalem break the bank for Pierre Cornud

$5.2M. No player has ever cost Beitar Jerusalem more, and expectation arrives with him.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Gui Negão rejects the move

Beitar Jerusalem had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Corinthians, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Market

Aílson Tavares attracts admirers

The name of Aílson Tavares has come up in conversations Beitar Jerusalem were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

The terraces

$5.2M for Pierre Cornud, and Beitar Jerusalem supporters approve

Boards get told what they have done wrong for years and hear nothing on the days they get it right. This is one of those days: Pierre Cornud from Maccabi Haifa for $5.2M, and a ticket office having a very good morning.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Lautaro Di Lollo

Beitar Jerusalem asked and Boca Juniors said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

Tempers go at Beitar Jerusalem

Yali Zohar 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 targets

Beitar Jerusalem ask about Alexsander

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

Transfer targets

Beitar Jerusalem ask about Ryan Francisco

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

Squad

Eitan Natcho stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Eitan Natcho and Beitar Jerusalem agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market

Ferencvaros come back empty-handed

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

Transfer targets

Beitar Jerusalem bid $5.2M for Pierre Cornud

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.

The terraces

Beitar Jerusalem sell a favourite for $2.0M

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Gil Cohen was one of the reasons people came, and $2.0M does not replace that by itself.

Market

Beitar Jerusalem sell Gil Cohen for $2.0M

Gil Cohen has left for Hapoel Beer Sheva in a $2.0M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Transfer targets

Bnei Yehuda tell Beitar Jerusalem: Tamir Berman 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.

Market

Shachar Rosen is a Beitar Jerusalem player

The fee is $420.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Maccabi Tel Aviv drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Squad

Miguel Silva 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 Beitar Jerusalem this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Yuval Shalev 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.

Squad

Omer Atzili has seen what the next man earns

Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room and never have. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and at Beitar Jerusalem that is a harder question to answer.

In brief
