Squad19 Jun 2028

A fracture rules Ali Issa Blagué out for 117 days

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

Market19 Jun 2028

Narcisse Mbainaissem agrees terms with US Moursal

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around AS PSI people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Hassan Doungous due for a AS PSI medical

Everything agreed with US Moursal, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad19 Jun 2028

Words exchanged at AS PSI

Brahim Goudja 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.

Transfer targets19 Jun 2028

Door shut on Oumar Mbainaissem

AS PSI asked and Foullah Edifice said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad19 Jun 2028

A row about effort at AS PSI

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Joël Djingar was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout19 Jun 2028

Gabkala Daba gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Gabkala Daba is on it.

The Brahim Goudja question follows AS PSI around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Brahim Goudja’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Market19 Jun 2028

Still no signature from Joseph Ofori

7 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what AS PSI could get for him.

Squad12 Jun 2028

A fracture rules Ali Issa Blagué out for 124 days

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

Market12 Jun 2028

Narcisse Mbainaissem 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 AS PSI can pretend not to have heard.

Squad12 Jun 2028

Tempers go at AS PSI

Brahim Goudja 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.

Squad12 Jun 2028

Words at AS PSI training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Félix Noubara 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.

Squad12 Jun 2028

No place for Youssouf Youssouf in the new shape

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

Transfer targets12 Jun 2028

AS PSI ask about Oumar Mbainaissem

A loan enquiry to Foullah Edifice: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Market12 Jun 2028

AS PSI sign Jonathan Baba, one for the future

Jonathan Baba is 20, and AS PSI 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.

The dugout12 Jun 2028

When it matters, Joël Djingar plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market12 Jun 2028

The Mahamat Adam Ali talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. AS PSI know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
