Daniel Atlan hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Hapoel Kfar Saba can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Real improvement from Niv Vaknin at Hapoel Kfar Saba

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Niv Vaknin is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Transfer targets

Hapoel Kfar Saba bid $380.0K for Kenji Gorré

The offer went to Bnei Yehuda 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.

Squad

Konadu Yiadom has improved at 28, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 5 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Squad

Tempers go at Hapoel Kfar Saba

Eden Shamir 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.

Squad

Words at Hapoel Kfar Saba training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Niv Vaknin 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.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Yaad Gonen is in the works

Hapoel Kfar Saba have made the call to Hapoel Haifa. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Market

A long bet from Hapoel Kfar Saba on Yosuke Honda

He is 18, and nobody at Hapoel Kfar Saba signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

The dugout

A promise honoured at Hapoel Kfar Saba

Something was said to Yosuke Honda and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

In brief
