Market5 Jul 2027

AS Bakaridjan turn down AS Police for Fousseny Tangara

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

Squad5 Jul 2027

Tempers go at AS Bakaridjan

Aboubacar Haïdara was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Transfer targets5 Jul 2027

AS Bakaridjan make their move for Cheick Sy

$10.0K on the table at Stade Malien. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets5 Jul 2027

Door shut on Bourama Togola

AS Bakaridjan asked and Real Bamako said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad5 Jul 2027

Ziad Mohamed signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Ziad Mohamed and AS Bakaridjan agree another 2 years.

Squad5 Jul 2027

Words at AS Bakaridjan training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Yaya Diakité 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.

Boardroom5 Jul 2027

Intake day at the AS Bakaridjan academy

4 arrivals, an average age nobody would call a squad, and a set of parents being shown around a building their sons will spend more time in than at home. The scouting has already happened; today is only the paperwork.

A step back for Gabriel Lambard at AS Bakaridjan

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

Market5 Jul 2027

The Bourama Diallo talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. AS Bakaridjan know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Squad29 Mar 2027

Tempers go at AS Bakaridjan

Youssou Coulibaly was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad29 Mar 2027

Timéo Gourlin gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Timéo Gourlin has just signed for AS Bakaridjan, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad29 Mar 2027

A row about effort at AS Bakaridjan

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

Market29 Mar 2027

A long bet from AS Bakaridjan on Malcolm Tuete Monkam

He is 19, and nobody at AS Bakaridjan signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Squad29 Mar 2027

Gabriel Lambard stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Gabriel Lambard and AS Bakaridjan agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout29 Mar 2027

The manager makes an example of Mathys Nedjari

“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.

Looking ahead29 Mar 2027

Daouda Koné goes back to face Real Bamako

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Daouda Koné’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and AS Bakaridjan needing him to play as if none of it matters.

The dugout29 Mar 2027

Aboubacar Haïdara asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market29 Mar 2027

The Makan Camara question follows AS Bakaridjan around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Makan Camara’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.
