Market

Abeiku Wakaso 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 Wa All Stars can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Words exchanged at Wa All Stars

Isaac Atiemo 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 targets

Door shut on Daniel Partey

Wa All Stars asked and Hasaacas said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Transfer targets

Wa All Stars try to borrow Handsome Surveyor

Rivers United 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.

Transfer targets

Wa All Stars ask about Divine Chidera

A loan enquiry to Rangers International: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Patrick Afful

“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.

Market

Wa All Stars bring in Victor Torisheju on loan

A season-long audition: Bendel Insurance still own him, but the shirt and the minutes are Wa All Stars's to give. A loan is a bet both clubs believe they are winning.

Squad

Somebody is after Kamaldeen Inusah’s shirt

A new face in his position, and Kamaldeen Inusah suddenly has to win back what he thought he owned. Wa All Stars have promised nothing — clubs rarely do at this stage.

Squad

Alex Obafemi is finding his feet at Wa All Stars

The language is coming and there is somebody to talk to in the dressing room. A footballer who feels at home plays like one, and it never shows up in a scouting report.

Squad

Afriyie Boakye 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 Wa All Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Jeffrey Ofori 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.

The dugout

Jeffrey Ofori 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.

Transfer targets

Wa All Stars try to borrow Zalli Abdullahi

Rivers United 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.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Bernard Schlupp is in the works

Wa All Stars have made the call to WAFA. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Squad

Patrick Afful stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Patrick Afful and Wa All Stars agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Mohammed Addo

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Wa All Stars have done the hard part with WAFA, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad

Jeffrey Ofori signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Jeffrey Ofori and Wa All Stars agree another 4 years.

Squad

Words exchanged at Wa All Stars

Afriyie Boakye 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 targets

Wa All Stars ask about Prosper Obah

A loan enquiry to Shakhtar: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Transfer targets

Wa All Stars ask about Kammonke Willie

A loan enquiry to Ikorodu City: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

The dugout

Jeffrey Ofori knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Jeffrey Ofori trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
