Gideon Manaseh: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Ikorodu City have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Tosin Oyedokun 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 Ikorodu City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Shodeinde Moses falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Marvelous Freedom 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.

Loan watch

Ibrahim Ayoola counts the days

“I watch every Ikorodu City game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Tusker runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Loan watch

7 goals on loan for Samuel Ezekiel

13 appearances at Medeama and the goals keep coming. Ikorodu City are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Manuel Kissanga

23 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Ikorodu City lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Marvelous Freedom out for 23 days

The medical room confirms 23 days on the sidelines for Marvelous Freedom, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Tosin Oyedokun says Ikorodu City 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

Ikorodu City count the cost of losing Marvelous Freedom

53 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

David Andrew says Ikorodu City 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.

Market

Olanrewaju Molade 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 Ikorodu City, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Tempers go at Ikorodu City

Shodeinde Moses 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.
