Player ratings

Saymon runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Tempers go at Dibba

David Díaz 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.

Squad

Carlinhos falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Saleh Gomaa

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

Baniyas join the queue for Mayed Al-Teneiji

Add another name to the list: Baniyas have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Mayed Al-Teneiji. The answer from Dibba has not changed — yet.

Player ratings

Mohanad Ali never got going

3.24 on the card. Some afternoons a footballer looks like a man who has only just been introduced to the game, and this was one of them.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Dibba

8 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Loan watch

Mame Balla Gning has seen enough of Sharjah

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Dibba, and 0 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.

Player ratings

Midana Cassamá takes the honours

Marked 7.42 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Dibba had the best player on the pitch.

Market

Dibba say no — this time

The offer from Al Jazira for Khaled Al-Bloushi 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.

Market

Rashed Omar 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 The request is on a desk at Dibba, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Tempers go at Dibba

Andrigo 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.

Market

Dibba sell Khaled Al-Saleh for $420.0K

Khaled Al-Saleh has left for Al Shabab in a $420.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad

Words at Dibba training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Carlinhos is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

No hiding place for Abdulla Abdullayev

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

Market

Al Wasl come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Dibba did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Carlinhos 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 Dibba this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Dibba training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. David Díaz is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

5 new faces, and Dibba are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Market

Rashed Omar told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Rashed Omar has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Dibba.

Market

Still no ink between Dibba and Khaled Al-Bloushi

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Dibba, another week without a signature from Khaled Al-Bloushi.
