Market

Or Hasin turns Bnei Yehuda down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Squad

Words exchanged at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona

Nemanja Ljubisavljević 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.

Boardroom

1 academy players handed senior numbers at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Transfer targets

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona rebuffed over Rodriguinho

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Bragantino have kept their man, and Hapoel Kiryat Shmona go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market

One of our own: Gil Dabbur joins the Hapoel Kiryat Shmona first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Gil Dabbur is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Squad

A row about effort at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona

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

Transfer targets

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona ask about José María Herrera

A loan enquiry to Bragantino: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Squad

Yonatan Benayoun stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Yonatan Benayoun and Hapoel Kiryat Shmona agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Boardroom

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona turn down the training-ground plan

It is the quietest way a club tells you what its ambitions are. The money was asked for, the money was refused, and the people who work there every day now know exactly where they stand.

Transfer targets

Luca Meirelles turns down Hapoel Kiryat Shmona

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

Squad

A falling-out at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona

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

Transfer targets

Door shut on Jorge De Asis

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona asked and Gimnasia La Plata said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

Bnei Yehuda join the queue for Or Hasin

Add another name to the list: Bnei Yehuda have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Or Hasin. The answer from Hapoel Kiryat Shmona has not changed — yet.

Squad

Words at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Yaw Ackah 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.

Transfer targets

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona ask about Rodriguinho

A loan enquiry to Bragantino: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Transfer targets

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona ask about Ruan Índio

A loan enquiry to Cruzeiro: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

The dugout

Yonatan Benayoun knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

Ori Benayoun is not doing himself any favours

A manager forgives a bad Saturday far more readily than a bad Tuesday, because one of them he can explain and the other one he chose. The reports this week have not been good.

Squad

Nemanja Ljubisavljević signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Nemanja Ljubisavljević and Hapoel Kiryat Shmona agree another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona

Ramzi Safouri 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

Nemanja Ljubisavljević 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.

Transfer targets

Maccabi Haifa tell Hapoel Kiryat Shmona: Xander Severina 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

The formation has left Ramzi Safouri behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Hapoel Kiryat Shmona will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

Market

49 months and counting on Nemanja Ljubisavljević

Still no offer on the table, and Nemanja Ljubisavljević’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Luca Meirelles is in the works

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona have made the call to Shakhtar. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Market

Talks stall between Hapoel Kiryat Shmona and Amit Glazer

“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.

Market

No place for Or Hasin in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Or Hasin has his answer from Hapoel Kiryat Shmona; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
