Market

Not going: Tamir Berman stays at Bnei Yehuda

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

Market

Stav Israeli 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 The request is on a desk at Bnei Yehuda, and it is not being withdrawn.

Boardroom

Deadline passes with 11 signed and 3 gone

That is the business done at Bnei Yehuda until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Market

Michael Pistiner’s move to Beitar Jerusalem falls through

The deal that would have taken Michael Pistiner to Beitar Jerusalem has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Bnei Yehuda with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Transfer targets

Dor Benyamini will not be coming to Bnei Yehuda

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Hapoel Tel Aviv is saying, and nobody at Bnei Yehuda is enjoying the guessing.

Transfer targets

Too dear: Bnei Yehuda walk away from Giuliano Gurrieri

$29.0K was the most the club would pay and Maccabi Petach Tikva were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Squad

A falling-out at Bnei Yehuda

Itay Ben-Hemo and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

A step back for Golan Beni at Bnei Yehuda

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

Squad

9 new faces, and Bnei Yehuda 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.

Transfer targets

No thanks: João Paulo rejects the move

Bnei Yehuda had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Santa Cruz, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Phillipe Gabriel

Bnei Yehuda asked and Vasco da Gama 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

A row about effort at Bnei Yehuda

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

Squad

Dani Amerr out for 49 days

The medical room confirms 49 days on the sidelines for Dani Amerr, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Shalev Gindi 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 Bnei Yehuda this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Arad Bar has company in his position

The competition arrived without a word said to him about it. Arad Bar keeps the shirt for now, at Bnei Yehuda's convenience rather than his own.

In brief
