Market

Masr El Makasa say no — this time

The offer from Arab Contractors for Ahmed Mohsen 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.

Transfer targets

Mohamed Barakat is a medical away from Masr El Makasa

The deal with Wadi Degla is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad

Ahmed Mohsen 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 Masr El Makasa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Masr El Makasa

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.

Transfer targets

Market

Mostafa Aboutrika steps up from the Masr El Makasa academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Mostafa Aboutrika 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

Ahmed Trezeguet steps up from the Masr El Makasa academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Ahmed Trezeguet 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

Masr El Makasa promote Salah Gabr from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Salah Gabr 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.

The dugout

Ahmed Mohsen gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

In brief
