Market

Baniyas turn down Al Shabab for Alassane Diallo

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Transfer targets

Evans Ampofo is a medical away from Baniyas

The deal with Dibba is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Market

Baniyas sell João Victor for $1.4M

João Victor has left for Al Shabab in a $1.4M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad

A career in one shirt: Suhail Al-Noobi

14 seasons and 232 appearances, all of them here. Careers like this are not designed; they happen to a certain kind of man at a certain kind of club, and this town has one.

Squad

Saviour Godwin signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Saviour Godwin and Baniyas agree another 4 years.

Squad

A falling-out at Baniyas

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

Market

Eyes on Ahmed Fawzi again

The phone has started ringing about Ahmed Fawzi again, and this time the name on the line is Dibba. Baniyas are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

Fabio Lima 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. Baniyas know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Market

The clock runs on Saviour Godwin's contract

49 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.
