From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market

Marcus Coco 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 The request is on a desk at Hapoel Tel Aviv, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets

Hapoel Tel Aviv agree $2.3M for Gilbert Bandama

The clubs have shaken hands with Hapoel Kiryat Shmona; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

The dugout

Mor Buskila keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Hapoel Tel Aviv may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Match

Nobody wins at Hapoel Tel Aviv

14 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Willy Agada

Hapoel Tel Aviv asked and Hapoel Haifa said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Boardroom

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $2.5M — a club that wants Gilbert Bandama enough to be asked twice.

Match

Hapoel Tel Aviv cannot stop winning

3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Hapoel Tel Aviv

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.

One of our own: Tomer Peretz joins the Hapoel Tel Aviv first team

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

In brief
