AS Bakaridjan come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and US Bougouba did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Donatien Tchami is a medical away from US Bougouba
The deal with Real Bamako 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.

This league is too small for Boua Kane
He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. US Bougouba will not keep him by pretending otherwise.
In brief
- Squad Mamoutou Berthé has company in his position
- Market Boua Kane arrives on loan
- The dugout Mamoutou Berthé keeps his manager's vote
