Market

Hapoel Tel Aviv say no — this time

The offer from Maccabi Petach Tikva for Daniel Dappa was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Transfer targets

An offer of $7.7M for Mohamed Camara

Hapoel Tel Aviv have gone to Maccabi Tel Aviv with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Transfer targets

Maccabi Tel Aviv tell Hapoel Tel Aviv: Sayed Abu Farchi 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.

Transfer targets

Cauan Barros is a medical away from Hapoel Tel Aviv

The deal with Vasco da Gama 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.

Squad

Stav Toriel signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Stav Toriel and Hapoel Tel Aviv agree another 5 years.

Squad

Andrian Kraev 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 Hapoel Tel Aviv this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A row about effort at Hapoel Tel Aviv

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

Market

PSM watching Or Israelov

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

Market

Hapoel Tel Aviv promote Dor Peretz from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Dor Peretz 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.

Transfer targets

Hapoel Tel Aviv rebuffed over Yarden Shua

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

Squad

Emmanuel Boateng signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Emmanuel Boateng commits to Hapoel Tel Aviv for another 3 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Hapoel Tel Aviv

Chico 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

Andrian Kraev 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.

Market

36 months and counting on Emmanuel Boateng

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

Transfer targets

Hapoel Tel Aviv ask about Cauan Barros

A loan enquiry to Vasco da Gama: 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 Tel Aviv ask about Felipe Valencia

A loan enquiry to La Equidad: 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

Stav Toriel asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

Anas Mahamid is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Hapoel Tel Aviv has been clear about where Anas Mahamid stands, which is more than many ever get.
