Market1 Mar 2027

Remo Stars say no — this time

The offer from AC Oulu for Lekan Malik 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.

Market1 Mar 2027

Emmanuel Olisa is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Remo Stars is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Antonio Galeano wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Remo Stars know it.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Ahmed Akinyele 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.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Words exchanged at Remo Stars

Hadi Haruna 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.

Match27 Feb 2027

A bad afternoon for Remo Stars against Plateau United

0‑2 to Plateau United, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout1 Mar 2027

Frank Iheanacho: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

The dugout1 Mar 2027

The manager makes an example of Biola Sabitu

“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 dugout1 Mar 2027

When it matters, Olamilekan Adedayo plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

In brief

Back issues

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad8 Feb 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Samson Olasupo

14 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Remo Stars lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market8 Feb 2027

Lekan Malik turns Ventspils 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.

Match6 Feb 2027

The wait goes on for Remo Stars

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

The dugout8 Feb 2027

Qudus Akanni keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Remo Stars may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market8 Feb 2027

Only the photograph left for Abdulrazaq Shuaibu

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Abdulrazaq Shuaibu will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Remo Stars the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad8 Feb 2027

A falling-out at Remo Stars

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

Market8 Feb 2027

Rangers International watching Chaka Coulibaly

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

Squad8 Feb 2027

A row about effort at Remo Stars

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

Transfer targets8 Feb 2027

Door shut on Stanley Amon

Remo Stars asked and Bayelsa United said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match19 Aug 2026

Remo Stars march on in the cup

Niger Tornadoes are out and Remo Stars go through, 1‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Market24 Aug 2026

Sodiq Oshidero agrees terms with Warri Wolves

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Remo Stars people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market24 Aug 2026

Not going: Azeez Agboola stays at Remo Stars

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

Market24 Aug 2026

Eyes on Samuel Anakwe again

The phone has started ringing about Samuel Anakwe again, and this time the name on the line is Vojvodina. Remo Stars are listening politely and promising nothing.

Market24 Aug 2026

Chaka Coulibaly hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Remo Stars can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Remo Stars rebuffed over Abubakar Abdullahi

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. KAA Gent have kept their man, and Remo Stars go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Hosea Michael 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 Remo Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces24 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Biola Sabitu

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words at Remo Stars training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ahmed Akinyele is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

In brief
