Squad

Kingsford Boakye damages knee ligaments — 26 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 26 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

Real improvement from Jonathan Addo at Wa All Stars

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

Squad

Tempers go at Wa All Stars

Isaac Mensah 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 knee injury of the worst kind for Jonathan

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

Squad

Jonathan Addo says Wa All Stars 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.

Squad

At 19, Belal Ateya is already the best thing here

An average of 7.20 in a first team he is several years too young for. Wa All Stars have something, and by now the whole division has noticed.

Squad

Daniel Boateng is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.53 with 26 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Player ratings

Daniel Boateng scores twice — 8.84

Two goals and a mark of 8.84 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market

Wa All Stars turn down Burnley for Daniel Boateng

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

Squad

Jonathan Addo: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Wa All Stars have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Jonathan Addo 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 Wa All Stars

Carlinhos 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.

Match

Daniel Boateng among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Daniel Boateng on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Wa All Stars and Hearts of Oak.

Match

Daniel Boateng’s goal not enough for Wa All Stars

Daniel Boateng scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑4 to Hearts of Oak, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Market

Business is business: Samuel Schlupp goes

Liberty Professionals paid $11.0K and Wa All Stars took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Daniel Asamoah is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Daniel Asamoah: 3 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Match

Cup progress for Wa All Stars

A 1‑1 win over Great Olympics, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Match

4 matches without a win for Wa All Stars

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Wa All Stars are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Jonathan Addo 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 Wa All Stars

Erick Flores 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

Words at Wa All Stars training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Patrick Amoah 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.

Player ratings

Daniel Boateng was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.49. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Carlinhos

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings

Belal Ateya misses from twelve yards

It was his to settle and he did not settle it. A long walk back to the halfway line, and a considerably longer week.

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

Player ratings

Erick Flores runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Tempers go at Wa All Stars

Erick Flores 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

The manager makes an example of Taoufik Safsafi

“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.

Squad

Words at Wa All Stars training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. David Asante 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.

Player ratings

Gladson Boateng ran the game

Chances created: 10. Not on the scoresheet and not remotely anonymous — a passing performance that pulled a defence apart without leaving a mark on the column that gets read.
