Squad

Thomas Atiemo breaks a bone — 57 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 57 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Dennis Konney 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 BA All Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Abdallah Maga

“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.

Squad

A fracture rules Thomas Atiemo out for 64 days

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

Market

Jeffrey Bukari 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 BA All Stars can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Words at BA All Stars training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dennis Konney is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Jamilu Nwankwo

“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.

Squad

Tempers go at BA All Stars

Andre Schlupp 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.

Market

Still no ink between BA All Stars and Abdallah Maga

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at BA All Stars, another week without a signature from Abdallah Maga.

Squad

Abdallah Maga: “I am not a substitute”

“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one BA All Stars will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

Boardroom

Open for business: BA All Stars enter the window

The registration window is open and the phone has started. Between now and the deadline this club will be linked with forty players and sign three, which is the usual ratio.

Market

6 months and counting on a squad player

Still no offer on the table, and a squad player’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Squad

A fracture rules Amos Schlupp out for 25 days

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

The dugout

Andre Baba says BA All Stars went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dennis Konney is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

A falling-out at BA All Stars

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

The dugout

Abdallah Maga knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at BA All Stars, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout

A door opens for Shadrack Kobedi

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

BA All Stars sell their best player to Ashanti Gold

$150.0K is a serious amount of money and it does not play centre-forward. Everybody in the dressing room knows who used to be looked at when it went wrong.

Market

David 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 BA All Stars, and it is not being withdrawn.

The terraces

Supporters turn on the $150.0K sale of Emmanuel Kyereh

He is going to Ashanti Gold, the club has $150.0K it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Market

Amos Schlupp attracts admirers

The name of Amos Schlupp has come up in conversations BA All Stars were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.
