Emmanuel Mathias hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Ikorodu City can pretend not to have heard.

Spartak Trnava come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Ikorodu City did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Nobody at Ikorodu City has picked up the phone to Tosin Oyedokun
49 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.
