The AS Etat Major Post

7 Sep 2026
From our football correspondent Steady

Market7 Sep 2026

Hassan Souleymane 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 AS Etat Major can pretend not to have heard.

Market7 Sep 2026

So close: Djibrine Abba’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. AS DGSSIE moved on, Djibrine Abba reports back to AS Etat Major, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Window shuts: 11 in, 7 out at AS Etat Major

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 11 arrived, 7 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Market7 Sep 2026

AS Etat Major turn down Stars Jeunes Talents for Hassan Haroun

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

Market7 Sep 2026

a squad player is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at AS Etat Major is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Words exchanged at AS Etat Major

Djibrine Djimet 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.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Door shut on Mbogo Acyl

AS Etat Major asked and Foullah Edifice said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad7 Sep 2026

a squad player is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and a squad player 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Ezechiel Oumar moves up the pecking order

Nothing is announced when this happens and everybody knows. He is a bigger part of the plan at AS Etat Major than he was a month ago, and the training ground worked that out before the team sheet said so.

Market31 Aug 2026

Aiglons come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and AS Etat Major did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market31 Aug 2026

Brahim Mbainaissem asks to leave AS Etat Major

“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.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A falling-out at AS Etat Major

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

Market31 Aug 2026

AS DGSSIE are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. AS Etat Major will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Market31 Aug 2026

Business is business: Moussa Oumar goes

Galactik paid $3.0K and AS Etat Major took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

AS Etat Major try to borrow Mbogo Acyl

Foullah Edifice 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.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Issa Doungous

“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.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Narcisse Adoum loses a friend at AS Etat Major

The move was somebody else's story. What it left behind was a dressing-room stall nobody has taken and a player who keeps looking at it.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

The manager comes out for Djibrine Djimet

Public backing, and the sort that costs a manager something if it turns out to be wrong. Djibrine Djimet has been told in front of everybody that the shirt is his.

Moussa Youssouf 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 AS Etat Major can pretend not to have heard.

Market10 Aug 2026

Terms done: a squad player is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and AS Algoy waiting with a shirt. Nobody at AS Etat Major is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Market10 Aug 2026

AS Etat Major say no — this time

The offer from CotonTchad for Issa Youssouf 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.

Market10 Aug 2026

Narcisse Mbainaissem turns Foullah Edifice down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

The paperwork begins on Bicto Tyonga

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. AS Etat Major have done the hard part with Foullah Edifice, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Ousmane Hissein turns down AS Etat Major

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.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Moussa Youssouf signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Moussa Youssouf commits to AS Etat Major for another 1 years.

A falling-out at AS Etat Major

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

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words at AS Etat Major training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Moussa Youssouf 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.
