Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Albert Schlupp

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

Market

Baba Schlupp 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.

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Liberty Professionals and New Edubiase United in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Match

A bad afternoon for Liberty Professionals against New Edubiase United

2‑4 to New Edubiase United, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Christian Asamoah 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.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Felix Ayew at his very best

Marked 8.11. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Liberty Professionals.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Jonathan Paintsil

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Richard Afriyie

“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

Patrick Ofori dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Squad

Andrew Boateng damages knee ligaments — 24 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 24 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.

Market

Ernest Mohammed 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 Liberty Professionals, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Liberty Professionals say no — this time

The offer from Heart of Lions for Daniel Partey was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Andrew Boateng

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

Market

Liberty Professionals say no — this time

The offer from Hearts of Oak for Afriyie Appiah was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Patrick Gyan hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Liberty Professionals can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Afriyie Appiah 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.

Market

Edmund Djiku moves on

Aduana Stars pay $510.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad

No hiding place for Felix Owusu

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

Squad

Tempers go at Liberty Professionals

Afriyie Appiah 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

Felix Ayew 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

Francis Nuhu stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Francis Nuhu and Liberty Professionals agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
