The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Bandari have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Nyamawi Beja asks to leave Bandari
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Amza Moubarack in a row with a teammate

When it matters, Alfred Emoni plays
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.
