Squad

The knee: Andre Afful out for 44 days

44 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. WAFA lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad

A fracture rules Kamaldeen Partey out for 20 days

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

Market

Inter Allies come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and WAFA did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Dari Haruna

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

Squad

A falling-out at WAFA

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

Squad

Patrick Waris stays put

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

Squad

Tempers go at WAFA

Kamaldeen Partey 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.

Squad

Andre Mohammed 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

Andrew Ayew has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at WAFA 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Patrick Waris

“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

Still no ink between WAFA and Kwadwo Wakaso

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at WAFA, another week without a signature from Kwadwo Wakaso.

The dugout

A door opens for Anthony Nwadioha

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Market

Kwame Baba has said yes to Dynamo Douala

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. WAFA have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market

Kwame Baba 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 WAFA can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Amadou Kante 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.

Squad

Words exchanged at WAFA

Wasiu Falolu 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.

Market

Abeiku Mohammed placed on the list

WAFA have made Abeiku Mohammed available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

The dugout

No hiding place for Abdul Afful

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Abdul Afful, and the manager let it.
