Squad

Stephen Amankona signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Stephen Amankona and Aduana Stars agree another 4 years.

Squad

Stephen Badu 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 Aduana Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Eyes on Kofi Asante again

The phone has started ringing about Kofi Asante again, and this time the name on the line is Heart of Lions. Aduana Stars are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

A row about effort at Aduana Stars

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

Market

Still no ink between Aduana Stars and Alex Boakye

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Aduana Stars, another week without a signature from Alex Boakye.

Market

49 months and counting on Stephen Amankona

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

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Ebenezer Abban stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Ebenezer Abban and Heart of Lions agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Lawrence Osei 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 Heart of Lions this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Ebenezer Adukwaw

Heart of Lions asked and Gor Mahia said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

Words at Heart of Lions training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ebenezer Abban is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market

Still no ink between Heart of Lions and Lawrence Osei

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Heart of Lions, another week without a signature from Lawrence Osei.

Transfer targets

Heart of Lions ask about Kofi Asante

A loan enquiry to Aduana Stars: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Market

49 months and counting on Michael Ephson

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

Market

Jayson Nettey is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Heart of Lions has been clear about where Jayson Nettey stands, which is more than many ever get.

Squad

Heart of Lions give Kwadwo Obeng Junior the armband

A decision that decides nothing on the pitch and everything in the room. The manager has said, without saying it, whose voice he wants heard when his own is not there.
