Market5 Jul 2027

Liberty Professionals break the bank for Marvin Owusu

$130.0K. No player has ever cost Liberty Professionals more, and expectation arrives with him.

Market5 Jul 2027

Emmanuel Gyan asks to leave Liberty Professionals

“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.

Transfer targets5 Jul 2027

An offer of $400.0K for Johnson Amuzu

Liberty Professionals have gone to Berekum Chelsea with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad5 Jul 2027

Tempers go at Liberty Professionals

Abraham Annan 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.

The terraces5 Jul 2027

Liberty Professionals spend $130.0K on the signing the town wanted

It is the rarest sequence in football: supporters ask for something, and the club goes and does it. $130.0K for Marvin Owusu, and for one week nobody is complaining about anything.

Squad5 Jul 2027

Words at Liberty Professionals training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Abraham Ayew 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.

Market5 Jul 2027

Abraham Annan returns a better player

29 games and 6 goals away from here, and a man the manager did not have last summer. The loan did what loans are supposed to do and almost never do.

Squad5 Jul 2027

Amos Sulemana is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Amos Sulemana has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

Squad5 Jul 2027

Anthony Simon stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Anthony Simon and Liberty Professionals agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad31 May 2027

Tempers go at Liberty Professionals

Amos Sulemana 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.

Squad31 May 2027

Kwadwo Schlupp 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 dugout31 May 2027

Anthony Simon 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.

Loan watch31 May 2027

6 goals on loan for Abraham Annan

29 appearances at Ashanti Gold and the goals keep coming. Liberty Professionals are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

The dugout31 May 2027

When it matters, Jonathan Boakye 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.

Loan watch31 May 2027

Christian Ayew keeps scoring at Medeama

26 appearances away from home and 5 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

The dugout31 May 2027

Joseph Ablorh has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Joseph Ablorh has written the date down.

The dugout31 May 2027

Francis Boateng knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Francis Boateng trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad31 May 2027

Kwame Kudus finally belongs at Liberty Professionals

The language has come, the shrug has gone, and he argues in training like a man who expects to be here next year. None of it shows up on a fee and all of it shows up on the pitch.

The dugout24 May 2027

Anthony Simon says Liberty Professionals went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad24 May 2027

Amos Sulemana 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 Liberty Professionals this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad24 May 2027

Words at Liberty Professionals training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Amos Gyan 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.

The dugout24 May 2027

The manager makes Abongwe Newman a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Liberty Professionals. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

The dugout24 May 2027

Amos Asamoah knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Amos Asamoah trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

The dugout24 May 2027

Christian Bukari keeps his manager's vote

The message was aimed at the stands as much as the dressing room: Christian Bukari plays, and the argument is closed until the manager decides otherwise.

Squad29 Mar 2027

A late step up for Francis Boateng

At 24 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Squad29 Mar 2027

Kwadwo Schlupp 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.

Squad29 Mar 2027

Tempers go at Liberty Professionals

Nana Amoah 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.

Squad29 Mar 2027

Abdul Bukari stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Abdul Bukari and Liberty Professionals agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout29 Mar 2027

No hiding place for Luke Badley-Morgan

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

The dugout29 Mar 2027

When it matters, Jonathan Boakye 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.

Loan watch29 Mar 2027

The goals keep arriving from Christian Ayew’s exile

5 goals in 22 games at Medeama — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Liberty Professionals updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

The dugout29 Mar 2027

A door opens for Joseph Ablorh

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Loan watch29 Mar 2027

Abraham Annan keeps scoring at Ashanti Gold

26 appearances away from home and 4 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.
