Squad

Daniel Addo damages knee ligaments — 14 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 14 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

Amos Afful is named among the best

There are footballers who have a good season and footballers a season is remembered for, and the second kind get their names read out in a hall in the summer. Wa All Stars will be quietly delighted and privately nervous.

Squad

Wa All Stars count the cost of losing Dumisani Zuma

29 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

Tempers go at Wa All Stars

Ebenezer Assifuah 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.

The terraces

$72.0K for Mohammed Bamba, and Wa All Stars supporters approve

Boards get told what they have done wrong for years and hear nothing on the days they get it right. This is one of those days: Mohammed Bamba from Aduana Stars for $72.0K, and a ticket office having a very good morning.

Market

Eyes on Kamaldeen Owusu again

The phone has started ringing about Kamaldeen Owusu again, and this time the name on the line is New Edubiase United. Wa All Stars are listening politely and promising nothing.

Market

Wa All Stars and Ebenezer Assifuah 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.

Boardroom

Wa All Stars release $106.6K for the manager

The board have put money on the table rather than an encouraging word. What happens to it now is somebody else's problem, and somebody else's job.

Market

Wa All Stars sign Mohammed Bamba, one for the future

Mohammed Bamba is 20, and Wa All Stars 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.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Daniel Addo

22 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Wa All Stars lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

Achraf Hermach 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 Wa All Stars, and it is not being withdrawn.

The terraces

Wa All Stars sell a favourite for $56.0K

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Kamaldeen Sulemana was one of the reasons people came, and $56.0K does not replace that by itself.

Market

Kwame Partey is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Wa All Stars is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Boardroom

Kwame Partey signs for Hearts of Oak while still at Wa All Stars

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Kwame Partey has agreed terms with Hearts of Oak for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Market

Wa All Stars get their man

The chase for Adams Abdul Jabal ended with $170.0K changing hands and Medeama out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

The terraces

$170.0K for Adams Abdul Jabal, and Wa All Stars supporters approve

Boards get told what they have done wrong for years and hear nothing on the days they get it right. This is one of those days: Adams Abdul Jabal from Medeama for $170.0K, and a ticket office having a very good morning.

Market

Business is business: Kamaldeen Sulemana goes

WAFA paid $56.0K and Wa All Stars took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Squad

Amos Afful 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.

So close: Kamaldeen Sulemana’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. WAFA moved on, Kamaldeen Sulemana reports back to Wa All Stars, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Tempers go at Wa All Stars

Amos Afful 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.
