Kamouna Urges Fresh Start at Al Ahly: Dari and Gradyisar Set for Exit
Kamouna calls for changes at Al Ahly amid AFCON distractions.

Transfer Talk and Squad Overhaul

Samir Kamouna, former Al Ahly star, is calling for the departure of Ashraf Dari and Nets Gradyisar in the near future, soon.

Kamouna told a radio interview that he is saddened by Al Ahly’s situation and sympathizes with Danish coach Thorup, especially with players at AFCON.

He says Al Ahly's bench is weak and needs new signings.

He noted Dari has offered nothing new to defense due to injuries, and should leave in the current winter window.

Kamouna stressed that Al Ahly needs a strong defender, a left-back, a midfielder if Aliou Dieng leaves, plus two attackers, including Osama Faisal.

He also noted that Egypt has good chances to reach the quarterfinals of AFCON, with full respect to Benin.

Punchline: When defense vanishes, attackers learn new tricks.

Punchline: Maybe the transfer window should come with a refund policy.
