From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A fracture rules Francis Atiemo out for 33 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Hasaacas will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Hasaacas say no — this time

The offer from Hearts of Oak for Andre Paintsil 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.

Transfer targets

Hasaacas make their move for Solomon Agbesi

$100.0K on the table at Hearts of Oak. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad

A falling-out at Hasaacas

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

Squad

A row about effort at Hasaacas

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Nana Partey was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market

Hasaacas and Ebuka Akobundu are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

The dugout

Lawal Muritala 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 Lawal Muritala trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

The dugout

When it matters, Albert Adjei plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad

Thapelo Ngcongo wants out of the dugout

“I did not sign to watch. Nobody does.” The oldest complaint in the game, and Hasaacas will have to answer it with minutes or with a move.

In brief
