Market

Marius Tokindang 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.

Market

Marius Abakar has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Stars Jeunes Talents they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

The step up is real for Bright Lawal

At 19 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad

Tempers go at Stars Jeunes Talents

Oumar Oumar 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.

The dugout

Tyron Macomba 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.

Squad

Words at Stars Jeunes Talents training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ali Mbainaissem 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

Abdramane Oumar 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.

Squad

The division's best last weekend was a Stars Jeunes Talents man

It is a small honour and it is not nothing: somebody watched every match in the division and decided that Oumar Oumar was the best thing in any of them.

Market

Abdramane Bechir is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Stars Jeunes Talents has been clear about where Abdramane Bechir stands, which is more than many ever get.

The Stars Jeunes Talents Gazette

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match

Stars Jeunes Talents are in among the leaders

Position 3 and 18 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Player ratings

Odion Collins goes up and wins it — 7.75

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.75 for the rest of it.

Market

Abdramane Bechir asks to leave Stars Jeunes Talents

“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

The run is over for Stars Jeunes Talents

8 matches without defeat, and then Aiglons. Nobody at the ground pretended it would go on forever; nobody expected it to stop here either.

Match

A bad afternoon for Stars Jeunes Talents against Aiglons

1‑2 to Aiglons, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market

Abdramane Oumar told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Abdramane Oumar has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Stars Jeunes Talents.

Market

US Moursal join the queue for Moussa Doungous

Add another name to the list: US Moursal have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Moussa Doungous. The answer from Stars Jeunes Talents has not changed — yet.

Player ratings

Both jobs done by Issa Hissein — 6.69

A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 11 actions, 6.69, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Timothy Imala

“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.
