Match

Patrick Mensah leads the rout of Berekum Chelsea

3‑0, and Patrick Mensah took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Wa All Stars tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Player ratings

Patrick Mensah scores twice — 9.44

Two goals and a mark of 9.44 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Transfer targets

Wa All Stars make their move for Percy Mphela

$4.0M on the table at Ajax Cape Town. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Player ratings

Jeffrey Adjei, 20, steals the show — 7.88

Marked 7.88 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Market

Ernest Baba 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 The request is on a desk at Wa All Stars, and it is not being withdrawn.

Boardroom

Wa All Stars close the window on a squad of their own making

7 in and 3 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Market

Wa All Stars say no — this time

The offer from Gazelle for Andre Bukari 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.

Market

The Aduana Stars deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Kamaldeen Waris reports back to Wa All Stars with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Boardroom

3 academy graduates step up at Wa All Stars

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Market

Terms done: Kwame Inusah is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Liberty Professionals waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Wa All Stars is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Market

Kamaldeen Waris 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 The request is on a desk at Wa All Stars, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Tempers go at Wa All Stars

Eric Oteng 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.

Transfer targets

An offer of $44.0K for Yaw Annor

Wa All Stars have gone to Bechem United with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Transfer targets

No deal for Yaw Annor at that price

Wa All Stars offered $48.0K; Bechem United said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Transfer targets

Wa All Stars rebuffed over Yaw Ofori

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

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Ernest Baba

“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

Competition arrives for David Atiemo

A new face in his position and a shirt he thought he owned suddenly up for discussion. Wa All Stars have promised nothing, which is what clubs promise at this stage.

Market

Wa All Stars borrow Muttaka Musa

A season-long look at somebody else’s player: Muttaka Musa arrives from Kano Pillars with something to prove and a return ticket in the drawer. Good loans make everybody richer; this one starts Saturday.
