Yussif Moro Owusu 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 The request is on a desk at Great Olympics, and it is not being withdrawn.

No end in sight to Great Olympics's wait for a win
6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Great Olympics has to find a result from somewhere.

Matthew Agama is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Great Olympics is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Osafo Antwi says Great Olympics went back on their word

Great Olympics sign Erick Dala, one for the future
Erick Dala is 18, and Great Olympics have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Erick Dala signs a new deal
