Market

WAFA come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Wa All Stars did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Daniel Baba turns Ghazl El Mahalla 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

Afriyie Mensah stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Afriyie Mensah and Wa All Stars agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Afriyie Mensah 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

Door shut on Mohammed Afful

Wa All Stars asked and Liberty Professionals said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Transfer targets

Wa All Stars ask about Cemran Dansin

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

Transfer targets

Wa All Stars ask about Uzoma Chinonso

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

The dugout

Baba Mohammed 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.

Squad

This league is too small for Siyabonga Mabena

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Wa All Stars will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Market

Rangers International come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Wa All Stars did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Tempers go at Wa All Stars

Afriyie Mensah 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

Nana Sulemana attracts admirers

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

Transfer targets

Wa All Stars ask about Siyabonga Mabena

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

The dugout

Afriyie Mensah 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.

Squad

Gladson Asante handed the armband

The captaincy goes to Gladson Asante. It is not a job that wins matches, but a dressing room always notices who is given it.
