Market

Heriansyah Yan asks to leave AS Etat Major

“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.

Market

Adam Mbaiguedem is on his way

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

Squad

Brahim Abba 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 AS Etat Major this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Ali Mahamat 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.

Squad

AS Etat Major count the cost of losing Issa Abakar

15 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Youssouf Moustapha

“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.

Loan watch

Ahmat Souleymane wants to come home

“I did not go to CotonTchad to sit and watch. I want to come back to AS Etat Major and fight for my place.” 4 appearances in 23 matches say the rest.

Player ratings

Mahamat Mbainaissem stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.63 on the card, and the AS Etat Major support went home talking about one name.

Match

Honours even between AS Etat Major and Foullah Edifice

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

In brief

Market

Gazelle come back empty-handed

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

The terraces

Supporters turn on the $6.0K sale of Oumar Abba

He is going to Aiglons, the club has $6.0K it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Market

Hassan Oumar 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 AS Etat Major, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Tempers go at AS Etat Major

Nodirbek Ahmadjonov 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.

Market

Business is business: Adam Abakar goes

Galactik paid $5.0K and AS Etat Major took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Market

AS Etat Major sell Oumar Abba for $6.0K

Oumar Abba has left for Aiglons in a $6.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

In brief
