Market

Terms done: Franck Assiga Edoa is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Unisport Bafang waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Canon Yaounde is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Market

Stéphane Bekolo turns Victoria United down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Market

Joseph Tombi 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 The request is on a desk at Canon Yaounde, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets

Ernest Inusah turns down Canon Yaounde

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Hasaacas keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad

A falling-out at Canon Yaounde

Junior Dande and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Mady Dembélé

Canon Yaounde asked and Djoliba 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

A row about effort at Canon Yaounde

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

Transfer targets

A loan move for Youssou Coulibaly is in the works

Canon Yaounde have made the call to Stade Malien. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Transfer targets

Canon Yaounde try to borrow Stanley Amon

Bayelsa United have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Market

Not going: Franck Assiga Edoa stays at Canon Yaounde

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Panthere du Nde had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Méry Camara

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Canon Yaounde have done the hard part with Stade Malien, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad

Words exchanged at Canon Yaounde

Junior Dande and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

A row about effort at Canon Yaounde

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

Transfer targets

Stade Malien tell Canon Yaounde: Koro Coulibaly is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market

The ambition of Sabo Gambo outgrows Canon Yaounde early

Signings arrive with a picture of the club in their head, and this one’s picture was bigger than the building. He will play well and he will be gone, in that order, and everybody knows it.

In brief
