The Colombe du Dja et Lobo Post

From our football correspondent Steady

Market7 Feb 2028

Marius Essapa Esseme 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 The request is on a desk at Colombe du Dja et Lobo, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings7 Feb 2028

Nobody could get near Yvan Mvondo Olama

Successful dribbles: 28. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The dugout7 Feb 2028

Mario Kouma: 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.” Colombe du Dja et Lobo have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Transfer targets7 Feb 2028

Fee done, terms next for Léon Dilane Balomog

Colombe du Dja et Lobo and Fortuna Mfou have settled on $240.0K. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Boardroom7 Feb 2028

Deadline passes with 0 signed and 3 gone

That is the business done at Colombe du Dja et Lobo until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Match5 Feb 2028

Nobody wins at Colombe du Dja et Lobo

10 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Squad7 Feb 2028

Tempers go at Colombe du Dja et Lobo

Jean Hugues Eyango 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.

Squad7 Feb 2028

Randy Ntume falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market7 Feb 2028

Fauve Azur Elite join the queue for Frédéric Yenang

Add another name to the list: Fauve Azur Elite have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Frédéric Yenang. The answer from Colombe du Dja et Lobo has not changed — yet.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad13 Dec 2027

A one-man rearguard from Édouard Sombang

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad13 Dec 2027

Jean Hugues Eyango in a row with a teammate

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

Match11 Dec 2027

A bad afternoon for Colombe du Dja et Lobo against Cotonsport Garoua

1‑3 to Cotonsport Garoua, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad13 Dec 2027

Arthur Yene falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout13 Dec 2027

Franck Toko-Ekambi answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑3, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout13 Dec 2027

Edmond Sindjo has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Colombe du Dja et Lobo will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout13 Dec 2027

The manager makes an example of Mario Kouma

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout13 Dec 2027

The plan did not have a place for Randy Ntume

Nobody at Colombe du Dja et Lobo is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

Looking ahead13 Dec 2027

Sony Farell Evina faces his old club

Gazelle Garoua next, and one man in the Colombe du Dja et Lobo dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market12 Jul 2027

Frédéric Yenang agrees terms with Unisport Bafang

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Colombe du Dja et Lobo people have started saying his name in the past tense.

The terraces12 Jul 2027

A $120.0K sale, and a town that did not want it

Luc Bide Ndohoungar has gone, the accounts have $120.0K in them, and the supporters have the feeling of having been sold something themselves. Good business and a good decision are not always the same thing.

Market12 Jul 2027

Colombe du Dja et Lobo turn down CotonTchad for Mario Kouma

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

Squad12 Jul 2027

A falling-out at Colombe du Dja et Lobo

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

Market12 Jul 2027

Business is business: Luc Bide Ndohoungar goes

Victoria United paid $120.0K and Colombe du Dja et Lobo took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Squad12 Jul 2027

A row about effort at Colombe du Dja et Lobo

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

The dugout12 Jul 2027

Jean Hugues Eyango gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Jean Hugues Eyango is on it.

The dugout12 Jul 2027

No hiding place for Joseph Apam

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Joseph Apam, and the manager let it.

Market12 Jul 2027

The Édouard Sombang question follows Colombe du Dja et Lobo around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Édouard Sombang’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.
