Boardroom

Window shuts: 18 in, 3 out at Hapoel Raanana

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 18 arrived, 3 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Transfer targets

Yonas Malede turns down Hapoel Raanana

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Hapoel Beer Sheva keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad

A row about effort at Hapoel Raanana

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

Transfer targets

Hapoel Beer Sheva tell Hapoel Raanana: Yonas Malede 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

Ariel Harush retires from international football

“21 caps. I have loved every one, and it is somebody else’s turn.” At 38 he has stepped away from his country and is going nowhere at Hapoel Raanana.

Looking ahead

Tarek Boshnak faces his old club

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

In brief
