Market

Canon Yaounde say no — this time

The offer from US Bougouni for Yann Mbah Ndjock was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Tempers go at Canon Yaounde

Serge Daura 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.

Market

Aigle Royal de Moungo join the queue for Évrard Beyong

Add another name to the list: Aigle Royal de Moungo have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Évrard Beyong. The answer from Canon Yaounde has not changed — yet.

Squad

A row about effort at Canon Yaounde

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

Transfer targets

Aalesund tell Canon Yaounde: Ivan Djantou 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.

Transfer targets

Canon Yaounde ask about Chijindu Godwill

A loan enquiry to Abia Warriors: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

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 The request is on a desk at Canon Yaounde, and it is not being withdrawn.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

Adama Traoré will not be coming to Canon Yaounde

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Real Bamako is saying, and nobody at Canon Yaounde is enjoying the guessing.

Squad

Words exchanged at Canon Yaounde

Serge Daura 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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Uzoma Chinonso

Canon Yaounde asked and Ikorodu City 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

This league is too small for Serge Daura

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Canon Yaounde will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Adama Traoré is in the works

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

Market

A long bet from Canon Yaounde on Serge Daura

He is 20, and nobody at Canon Yaounde signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Squad

Somebody is after Martin Ako Assomo’s shirt

A new face in his position, and Martin Ako Assomo suddenly has to win back what he thought he owned. Canon Yaounde have promised nothing — clubs rarely do at this stage.

Market

Canon Yaounde borrow Diadié Samadiaré

A season-long look at somebody else’s player: Diadié Samadiaré arrives from Stade Malien with something to prove and a return ticket in the drawer. Good loans make everybody richer; this one starts Saturday.
