Brahim Goudja is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

A muscle injury sidelines Mahamat Adam Ali for 15 days
Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. AS PSI will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at AS PSI this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Bark Abdramane is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Bark Abdramane knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at AS PSI, and both men came out saying it was fine.

It is the least glamorous business a club does and the reason seasons do not collapse in February. Behruz Islomov is here for the weeks when three men are injured and somebody still has to play.

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at AS PSI has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Fabrice Djimhoué signs something — a contract at AS PSI or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

The competition arrived without a word said to him about it. Fabrice Djimhoué keeps the shirt for now, at AS PSI's convenience rather than his own.

It gets no coverage and decides more signings than any coaching session does: somebody older has started staying behind with him, and it is beginning to show.

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

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

The interest is real enough to have reached print. AS PSI have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.
