Player ratings

Tugra Turhan, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 8.79

A mark of 8.79 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Player ratings

Carel Eiting goes up and wins it — 7.99

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.99 for the rest of it.

Player ratings

Mihlali Mayambela beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 25. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Market

Only the photograph left for Francis Uzoho

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Francis Uzoho will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Omonoia the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Match

Omonoia make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Omonoia have 3 straight wins of it.

Squad

Words exchanged at Omonoia

Dimitris Kourbelis and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match

Omonoia find a way past Doxa

Doxa made Omonoia work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑2 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The dugout

No hiding place for Fabiano

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

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Tugra Turhan

At 19 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

In brief

  • Player ratings Florin Tănase in the eights
  • Match Omonoia keep winning on the road
  • Squad 14 new faces, and Omonoia are still learning each other

Market

Stefan Simić asks to leave Omonoia

“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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Frédéric Maciel

Omonoia asked and CSKA 1948 said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

Christodoulos Thoma is a square peg at Omonoia

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Market

The Florin Tănase talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Omonoia know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Looking ahead

Mihlali Mayambela faces his old club

Aris next, and one man in the Omonoia dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Squad

Carel Eiting has company in his position

The competition arrived without a word said to him about it. Carel Eiting keeps the shirt for now, at Omonoia's convenience rather than his own.

Market

Omonoia borrow Christodoulos Thoma

A season-long look at somebody else’s player: Christodoulos Thoma arrives from AE Kition with something to prove and a return ticket in the drawer. Good loans make everybody richer; this one starts Saturday.

Squad

A season on the outside for Claudinho

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Omonoia has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

Looking ahead

Omonoia travel to Aris

Next up on the road: Aris, position 6. The supporters who go will talk about it all week and the ones who do not will check their phones at ten to five.

Market

Not going: Francis Uzoho stays at Omonoia

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Doxa had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Market

Nea Salamis come back empty-handed

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

Transfer targets

No thanks: Christodoulos Thoma rejects the move

Omonoia had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at AE Kition, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad

Mihlali Mayambela signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Mihlali Mayambela commits to Omonoia for another 3 years.

Squad

Words exchanged at Omonoia

Dimitris Kourbelis and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets

KV Oostende tell Omonoia: Timothy Fellaini 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.

Market

Agia Napa join the queue for Fotis Kitsos

Add another name to the list: Agia Napa have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Fotis Kitsos. The answer from Omonoia has not changed — yet.

Market

Omonoia promote Grigoris Makris from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Grigoris Makris has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Squad

Karol Angielski is a square peg at Omonoia

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Market

Aris Thessaloniki come back empty-handed

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

Squad

Fabiano signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Fabiano commits to Omonoia for another 2 years.

Squad

Loïc Nego 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 Omonoia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Doxa watching Francis Uzoho

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Omonoia have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad

Dimitris Kourbelis has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Omonoia know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Market

Talks stall between Omonoia and Fabiano

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

In brief
