Market

Mouad El Fanis 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 The request is on a desk at Hamrun Spartans, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Only the photograph left for Matthew Guillaumier

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Matthew Guillaumier will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Hamrun Spartans the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Luke Alker is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Oshobe Oladele signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Oshobe Oladele commits to Hamrun Spartans for another 2 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Hamrun Spartans

Oshobe Oladele 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

A late step up for Florian Michel

At 37 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Squad

Words at Hamrun Spartans training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Danilo Bulevardi 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.

Match

The goals have deserted Hamrun Spartans

3 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Hamrun Spartans can tell you which week it ends in.

Player ratings

Kléri Serber runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Hamrun Spartans count the cost of losing Aaron Borg

35 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Market

A long bet from Hamrun Spartans on Aleksandrs Gabovs

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

Market

Hamrun Spartans buy the years ahead of Georgy Bolshakov

He is 18, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Squad

Kléri Serber has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Hamrun Spartans will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Match

Point won or two lost for Hamrun Spartans?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Hibernians? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

Squad

Hamrun Spartans keep their word to Aleksandrs Gabovs

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.
