The MC Oran Post

From our football correspondent Steady

Massinissa Nezla arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Massinissa Nezla has, at MC Oran, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

MC Oran say no — this time

The offer from ASO Chlef for Yacine Goudjil 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.

Ousmane Coumbassa signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Ousmane Coumbassa and MC Oran agree another 4 years.

A falling-out at MC Oran

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

Chahreddine Boukholda wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at MC Oran can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Transfer targets

MC Oran rebuffed over Mohamed Zaalouk

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Al Ahly have kept their man, and MC Oran go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

ES Ben Aknoun join the queue for Anis Mahdi Mendil

Add another name to the list: ES Ben Aknoun have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Anis Mahdi Mendil. The answer from MC Oran has not changed — yet.

Still no ink between MC Oran and Mokhtar Belkhiter

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at MC Oran, another week without a signature from Mokhtar Belkhiter.

Nobody at MC Oran has picked up the phone to Ousmane Coumbassa

49 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

In brief
