Boardroom

Window shuts: 22 in, 5 out at Al Fujairah

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 22 arrived, 5 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Squad

Yussif Suleiman is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 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.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Al Fujairah

3 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Squad

A row about effort at Al Fujairah

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Daniel Pedrozo was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets

Esteghlal tell Al Fujairah: Mohammed Reza Azadi 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.

Squad

A falling-out at Al Fujairah

Joshua Udoh and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

One of our own: Salem Hassan joins the Al Fujairah first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Salem Hassan is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

One of our own: Abdullah Al Suwaidi joins the Al Fujairah first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Abdullah Al Suwaidi is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Khalid Saeed steps up from the Al Fujairah academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Khalid Saeed 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.

In brief
