Market

Zidan Nageh agrees terms with El Dakhleya

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Arab Contractors people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market

Ahmed Khaled asks to leave Arab Contractors

“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.

Squad

Tempers go at Arab Contractors

Pedro Obiang 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.

The dugout

Zidan Nageh frozen out at Arab Contractors

This is not rotation. Zidan Nageh has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Arab Contractors is pretending otherwise.

Market

Business is business: Mohamed Abdelnasser goes

Al Ahly paid $180.0K and Arab Contractors took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Transfer targets

Petrojet tell Arab Contractors: Karim Zaki 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Pedro Obiang

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Pedro Obiang, and the manager let it.

Squad

A muscle injury sidelines Walid Mohsen for 14 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Arab Contractors will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Transfer targets

Arab Contractors try to borrow Khumoitsile Rathokolo

El Dakhleya have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

The knee: Emad Hassan out for 21 days

21 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Arab Contractors lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad

53 days out for Mohamed Hozian after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Arab Contractors will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market

Mohamed Refat says no to JS Kabylie

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Mohamed Refat had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Arab Contractors

5 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 Arab Contractors

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

Transfer targets

Maritzburg United tell Arab Contractors: Naphtali Mokoena 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

Mohamed Hozian 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 Arab Contractors this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

One of our own: Shikabala Elneny joins the Arab Contractors first team

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

Market

One of our own: Emad Tarek joins the Arab Contractors first team

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