Squad

Saleh Bechir damages knee ligaments — 32 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 32 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.

Transfer targets

Fee done, terms next for Mattéo Paumier

Stars Jeunes Talents and Aiglons have settled on $6.0K. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Market

Brahim Abba 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 Stars Jeunes Talents can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout

Oumar Tokindang frozen out at Stars Jeunes Talents

This is not rotation. Oumar Tokindang has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Stars Jeunes Talents is pretending otherwise.

Transfer targets

Mohamed El Ouardi turns down Stars Jeunes Talents

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Renaissance keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Transfer targets

An offer of $57.0K for Gabkala Daba

Stars Jeunes Talents have gone to AS PSI 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Stars Jeunes Talents

Issa Bechir 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.

Transfer targets

Stars Jeunes Talents rebuffed over Pablo Saint Martin

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. CotonTchad have kept their man, and Stars Jeunes Talents go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

Words at Stars Jeunes Talents training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Narcisse Ndoram 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.

Market

Brahim Abba 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 The request is on a desk at Stars Jeunes Talents, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Words exchanged at Stars Jeunes Talents

Abdramane Oumar and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Words at Stars Jeunes Talents training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Narcisse Ndoram 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.

Match

Moussa Mbaiguedem sends Stars Jeunes Talents past AS DGSSIE

It finished 1‑0, and it was Moussa Mbaiguedem’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Stars Jeunes Talents.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Marius Mbaiguedem

“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.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Moussa Mbaiguedem

A mark of 7.51, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

The dugout

A satisfied Brahim Adoum

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 1‑0, Brahim Adoum could afford to be generous.

The dugout

The form table has caught Issa Djimet

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.

Looking ahead

The leaders are next for Stars Jeunes Talents

Renaissance top the table and they are coming into view. Nothing to lose, which is what every manager says before losing.

In brief
