Market

Kwadwo Boateng 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.

Market

Liberty Professionals turn down Heart of Lions for Etebo Onuachu

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

Squad

Tempers go at Liberty Professionals

Baba Djiku 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

Liberty Professionals count the cost of losing Abdul Ayew

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

Transfer targets

Liberty Professionals rebuffed over Risen Albert

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. University of Pretoria have kept their man, and Liberty Professionals go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

Words at Liberty Professionals training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Baba Atiemo 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 dugout

Abdul Ayew 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.

Transfer targets

Liberty Professionals try to borrow Matías Esquivel

Mamelodi Sundowns have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Transfer targets

Liberty Professionals try to borrow Percy Zungu

SuperSport United have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Squad

Baba Atiemo signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Baba Atiemo and Liberty Professionals agree another 2 years.

Squad

A falling-out at Liberty Professionals

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

Transfer targets

Liberty Professionals rebuffed over Makabi Lilepo

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Kaizer Chiefs have kept their man, and Liberty Professionals go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

A row about effort at Liberty Professionals

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

Transfer targets

A loan move for Walid Fuseini is in the works

Liberty Professionals have made the call to Asante Kotoko. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

The dugout

Baba Djiku asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
