Match

No end in sight to Aduana Stars's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Aduana Stars has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Mohammed Bamba stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Mohammed Bamba and Aduana Stars agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Bright Adjei

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Remember Adomako Boateng says Aduana Stars went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Daniel Awuni is the real thing at 21

A season average of 7.16 at an age when most of his year group are still in the youth team. Aduana Stars know what they have, and so, by now, does everybody else.

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Kofi Asante has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Aduana Stars.

Market

Aduana Stars put Godfred Boakye up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Godfred Boakye may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Market

Richard Yeboah asks to leave Aduana Stars

“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.

Market

Heart of Lions come back empty-handed

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

Daniel Awuni is the real thing at 21

A season average of 7.16 at an age when most of his year group are still in the youth team. Aduana Stars know what they have, and so, by now, does everybody else.

Market

Gregory Sekyere is free to find somewhere else

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

Squad

Charles Gyamfi Kamara signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Charles Gyamfi Kamara commits to Aduana Stars for another 3 years.

The manager makes an example of Godfred Boakye

At 21, Daniel Awuni is already the best thing here

An average of 7.16 in a first team he is several years too young for. Aduana Stars have something, and by now the whole division has noticed.

Squad

The month belongs to Daniel Awuni

The award is a small thing with a heavy meaning: for four weeks nobody in this division did his job better. Aduana Stars have the trophy on a shelf and the player in the side.

Match

Aduana Stars share the spoils with Bechem United

A 1-1 draw with Bechem United leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Daniel Awuni is the real thing at 21

Match

Aduana Stars see off Great Olympics

Three points for Aduana Stars, 2-1 the final word against Great Olympics in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

Aduana Stars lose Salim Uzair Baafada

15 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad

Bright Adjei left out for the big one

A player who expected to start watched it instead. The manager will call it a decision for the team; Bright Adjei will call it something else in private.

Market

Talks stall between Aduana Stars and Samuel Kuffour

“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.

Squad

Costly mistake from Gregory Sekyere

An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Gregory Sekyere knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.

Aduana Stars turn down Hasaacas for Abdul-Aziz Nurudeen

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

An average of 7.05 in a first team he is several years too young for. Aduana Stars have something, and by now the whole division has noticed.

Squad

Gregory Sekyere gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market

Bright Adjei placed on the list

Aduana Stars have made Bright Adjei available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

WAFA take the points off Aduana Stars

Beaten 2-3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Liberty Professionals are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Aduana Stars will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Bright Adjei out for 36 days

Boardroom

157% of the income goes out in wages at Aduana Stars

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Gregory Sekyere

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

Aduana Stars sign Abeiku Boakye, one for the future

Abeiku Boakye is 17, and Aduana Stars have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Market

A long bet from Aduana Stars on Gladson Kudus

He is 16, and nobody at Aduana Stars signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

He is 17, and nobody at Aduana Stars signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Match

Aduana Stars and Heart of Lions take a point apiece

It finished 1-1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Squad

Daniel Awuni finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Aduana Stars have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

A first senior shirt for Daniel Awuni

Aduana Stars and Daniel Awuni are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Market

The clock runs on Stephen Badu's contract

36 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Squad

Gregory Sekyere knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Aduana Stars, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Abdul-Aziz Nurudeen told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Abdul-Aziz Nurudeen has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Aduana Stars.

Stephen Badu handed the armband

The captaincy goes to Stephen Badu. It is not a job that wins matches, but a dressing room always notices who is given it.
