Marked for Baba Mohammed

Upbeat
Player ratings2 Nov 2026
Marked 7.80 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Wa All Stars had the best player on the pitch.
Squad2 Nov 2026
Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.
Squad2 Nov 2026
Abeiku Asamoah 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.
Match31 Oct 2026
It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.
The dugout2 Nov 2026
“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.

Half-satisfied: Isaac Boateng on the draw
“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 1‑1, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.
The dugout2 Nov 2026
Mohammed Partey has become a man the manager trusts
Nobody at Wa All Stars will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.
Looking ahead2 Nov 2026
Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Stephen Kwakye’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Wa All Stars needing him to play as if none of it matters.

Successful dribbles: 10. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Triumph
Match26 Sep 2026
Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Wa All Stars have 3 straight wins of it.
Squad28 Sep 2026
Andre Inusah 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.
Match26 Sep 2026
Three points for Wa All Stars, 1‑0 the final word against Hasaacas in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Andre Inusah was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.00. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.
Loan watch28 Sep 2026
“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Wa All Stars, and 0 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.
The dugout28 Sep 2026
“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 1‑0, already talking about the next one.
Player ratings28 Sep 2026
Successful dribbles: 14. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.
The dugout28 Sep 2026
The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Steady
Market24 Aug 2026
“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.
Market24 Aug 2026
The offer from Sirens for David Mohammed 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.
Market24 Aug 2026
Add another name to the list: Javor-Matis have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Daouda Kone. The answer from Wa All Stars has not changed — yet.
Transfer targets24 Aug 2026
The deal with Liberty Professionals is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.
Transfer targets24 Aug 2026
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Marbella have kept their man, and Wa All Stars go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Squad24 Aug 2026
Andre Inusah 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.
