Market

Amos Addo turns BA All Stars down

“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.

Squad

A fracture rules David Paintsil out for 38 days

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

Market

David Paintsil asks to leave Wa All Stars

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Bennet Mokoena

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Wa All Stars have done the hard part with Mamelodi Sundowns, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad

Anderson Asiedu 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 Wa All Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Wa All Stars rebuffed over Zalli Abdullahi

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Rivers United have kept their man, and Wa All Stars go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

Words at Wa All Stars training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Albert Paintsil 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

No place for Henry Ndedi in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Wa All Stars are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Kegan Johannes is in the works

Wa All Stars have made the call to Mamelodi Sundowns. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Market

Wa All Stars say no — this time

The offer from Stabaek for Jeffrey Adjei 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.

Squad

The formation has left Ramon Azeez behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Wa All Stars will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

Transfer targets

Wa All Stars try to borrow Kofi Asmah

Medeama have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Sharif Shuaib is in the works

Wa All Stars have made the call to Hearts of Oak. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

The dugout

Samuel Baba asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

No place for David Paintsil in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” David Paintsil has his answer from Wa All Stars; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Market

Ramon Azeez brings the grey hairs Wa All Stars lacked

At 33, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.
