Squad29 Nov 2027

A fracture rules Bashiru Usman out for 102 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Niger Tornadoes will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match29 Nov 2027

Niger Tornadoes are in real trouble now

Position 20, 32 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Squad29 Nov 2027

A row about effort at Niger Tornadoes

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

The dugout29 Nov 2027

Kufre Ebong 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 Niger Tornadoes, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Bashiru Usman linked with a move away

The name of Bashiru Usman keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Niger Tornadoes say nothing, which says plenty.

The shop window has Bashiru Usman in it

Niger Tornadoes have let the market know Bashiru Usman can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Market13 Sep 2027

Ifeanyi Emmanuel asks to leave Niger Tornadoes

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match11 Sep 2027

5 matches without a win for Niger Tornadoes

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Niger Tornadoes are no longer polite ones.

The dugout13 Sep 2027

Chibueze Ezeifule: 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.” Niger Tornadoes have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market13 Sep 2027

Kun Khalifat come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Niger Tornadoes did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Loan watch13 Sep 2027

Nobody is scoring past Daniel Godwin at Bhayangkara Presisi

17 shut-outs in 24 games. A goalkeeper’s loan is judged on the afternoons when nothing happened at all, and Daniel Godwin has been having a lot of them.

Squad13 Sep 2027

A falling-out at Niger Tornadoes

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

The dugout13 Sep 2027

Ifeanyi Emmanuel 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.

Player ratings13 Sep 2027

Sadiq Auwal beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 16. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad13 Sep 2027

A row about effort at Niger Tornadoes

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