Market

Moubarak Djibrine hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what AS DGSSIE can pretend not to have heard.

Market

AS DGSSIE turn down AS Algoy for Moubarak Djibrine

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Idriss Mbaiguedem is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at AS Algoy is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Kita hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Foullah Edifice can pretend not to have heard.

Market

AS Algoy say no — this time

The offer from AS PSI for Mahamat Youssouf 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.

Market

Gil Barda has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Aiglons they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Brahim Goudja asks to leave AS PSI

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Stars Jeunes Talents turn down Galactik for Youssouf Mbainaissem

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Renaissance expected to open talks for Mahamat Harouna

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Elect Sport will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Market

Only the photograph left for Boburbek Yorbekov

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Boburbek Yorbekov will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Foullah Edifice the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market

Kita is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Foullah Edifice has been clear about where Kita stands, which is more than many ever get.

Scoring charts

Nobody scored more than Muhammadiyor Marifaliyev

The month closes with Muhammadiyor Marifaliyev out in front — 2 goals in 3 games, and Renaissance have the division's most feared finisher.

Scoring charts

Adoum Defallah is the division's player of the month — 7.56

A club's paper reports this as one of its own being honoured. On this page it is what it actually is: a verdict on everybody who played, and it went to a Elect Sport man on 7.56 with 0 goal contributions.

Scoring charts

Djibrine Mahamat is the month's best young player — 6.46

The award the rest of the division reads as a transfer rumour. 6.46 over the month and 2 goal contributions, from a AS DGSSIE player whose price has just gone up without anybody at his club doing anything.

Market

Alon Ben-Ami asks to leave Galactik

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Scoring charts

Satrio Azhar leads the division for assists — 5.42

The chart that decides who the scorers ought to be thanking. 2 of them made by a AS DGSSIE player marked 5.42, and not one will be in the montage at the end of the season.

Market

Saleh Abba is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at AS Algoy is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Scoring charts

Highest marks in the league belong to a CotonTchad man

Bob Cetric averaged 8.26 over 2 appearances. Nothing about that will trend, and anybody who watched all four games would tell you it was the most accurate thing on this page.

Scoring charts

Still scoring: Léger Djimrangar

2 in 4 for CotonTchad. Nobody outside his own ground is talking about him, which tends to be true of everybody on this list except the man at the top of it.

Scoring charts

Mahamat Adam Ali is right behind him

2 goals in 2 appearances for AS PSI, and a chart that would look very different if two of them had gone in off the post instead of past it.

Scoring charts

Moussa Moustapha is right behind him

2 goals in 3 appearances for AS Etat Major, and a chart that would look very different if two of them had gone in off the post instead of past it.

Scoring charts

Ahmat Mahamat keeps the pressure on

2 goals in 3 appearances for Foullah Edifice leave him among the month's leading marksmen.

Market

Talks stall between CotonTchad and Louai Taha

“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.

Scoring charts

Nobody scored more than Djibrine Tokindang

The month closes with Djibrine Tokindang out in front — 4 goals in 4 games, and AS Etat Major have the division's most feared finisher.

Scoring charts

The month belonged to Roee Fucs

Marked 7.90 across it, 0 goals and assists between them, and no serious argument from anybody else in the division. Gazelle have had the whole benefit of a month somebody else will spend the summer trying to buy.

Scoring charts

Chinedu Godspower is the month's best young player — 7.59

The award the rest of the division reads as a transfer rumour. 7.59 over the month and 2 goal contributions, from a AS DGSSIE player whose price has just gone up without anybody at his club doing anything.

Market

Chukwubuike Martin asks to leave Aiglons

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Scoring charts

Nobody made more than Mahamat Adam Ali this month

2 assists, 7.49, and a AS PSI player who spent four weekends being the reason somebody else's name went in the paper. It is the least-rewarded skill in football and the easiest one to notice its absence.

Market

Manú has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Renaissance they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Market

Satrio Azhar’s move to Stars Jeunes Talents falls through

The deal that would have taken Satrio Azhar to Stars Jeunes Talents has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to AS DGSSIE with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Market

AS PSI say no — this time

The offer from AS DGSSIE for Sammy Kiplangat 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.

Scoring charts

Frédéric Djoita is the division's best-marked player — 8.25

The chart that catches everybody a goal tally never will: the centre-half who was immense for four weekends, the holding midfielder nobody outside his own ground has heard of. 8.25 across 2 matches for Elect Sport.

Scoring charts

Kita is right behind him

3 goals in 4 appearances for Foullah Edifice, and a chart that would look very different if two of them had gone in off the post instead of past it.

Abdramane Ngaradoumbe tops the scoring charts

Nobody in the division bettered it last month: 3 goals in 4 appearances for Aiglons.

Scoring charts

Christian Ramadjingaye is the division's player of the month — 7.56

A club's paper reports this as one of its own being honoured. On this page it is what it actually is: a verdict on everybody who played, and it went to a Aiglons man on 7.56 with 0 goal contributions.

Scoring charts

The division's brightest kid this month plays for AS PSI

Bark Abdramane was marked 7.04 and had a hand in 0 goals. Every recruitment department in the country now has a file open, and the club that has him knows exactly what that means.

Market

Moubarak Djibrine puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at AS DGSSIE, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

AS Algoy come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and AS PSI did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Scoring charts

Brahim Youssouf leads the division for assists — 7.15

The chart that decides who the scorers ought to be thanking. 2 of them made by a US Moursal player marked 7.15, and not one will be in the montage at the end of the season.

Market

The AS Algoy deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Kurniawan Ajie reports back to AS DGSSIE with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.
