Squad

17 days out for Arnaud Song after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Fortuna Mfou will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Match

No mercy from Fortuna Mfou

Stade Renard de Melong will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Fortuna Mfou were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Player ratings

Both of them Serge Daura's — 8.99

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.99, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Match

Nobody wants to play Fortuna Mfou right now

4 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Player ratings

Paschal Durugbor has a hand in both — 7.74

One scored and one made, which is a different afternoon from scoring twice and an easier one to overlook. Marked 7.74, and involved in 2 of his side's goals.

Squad

Ari Tiente is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Fortuna Mfou

Paschal Durugbor 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.

Squad

A row about effort at Fortuna Mfou

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

The terraces

Fortuna Mfou supporters have found a favourite in Junior Patrick Akongo Evouna

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Junior Patrick Akongo Evouna has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

In brief

Back issues

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Alex Mani Onguene

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

Transfer targets

$70.0K settles it between the clubs for Willy Ebendeng

Unisport Bafang have accepted the money. What Fortuna Mfou do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Boardroom

Deadline passes with 20 signed and 0 gone

That is the business done at Fortuna Mfou 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.

Market

Fortuna Mfou turn down Aigle Royal de Moungo for Franck Bekono

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

Squad

Real improvement from Ari Tiente at Fortuna Mfou

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

Transfer targets

No deal for Sanda Oumarou at that price

Fortuna Mfou offered $44.0K; Dynamo Douala said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Squad

Words exchanged at Fortuna Mfou

Zaharaddeen Bello 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.

Match

Victoria United take the points off Fortuna Mfou

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Transfer targets

David Ntsama stays at Aigle Royal de Moungo as time runs out

A deal that was a phone call from completion at lunchtime was dead by midnight. Fortuna Mfou will try again when the window opens; Aigle Royal de Moungo may not be selling by then.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Alex Mani Onguene

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

Transfer targets

Fortuna Mfou make their move for Kadad Ning Che

$170.0K on the table at PWD Bamenda. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad

Words exchanged at Fortuna Mfou

Paschal Durugbor 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 Edward Maova

Fortuna Mfou asked and Golden Arrows said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

Carlitos Djapa attracts admirers

The name of Carlitos Djapa has come up in conversations Fortuna Mfou were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

Paschal Durugbor needs a bigger stage

He is doing things every Saturday that nobody around him can answer. It is flattering for a season and a problem after that, and Fortuna Mfou know which stage they are at.

Squad

Zaharaddeen Bello is a square peg at Fortuna Mfou

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Transfer targets

Fortuna Mfou ask about Jordy Doumbe Youmba

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

Market

Gislain Abianda placed on the list

Fortuna Mfou have made Gislain Abianda available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.
