Market

Terms done: Daniel Baba is going

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

Market

Liberty Professionals 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.

Transfer targets

Muttaka Musa is a medical away from Wa All Stars

The deal with Kano Pillars is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Transfer targets

Cemran Dansin will not be coming to Wa All Stars

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Orlando Pirates is saying, and nobody at Wa All Stars is enjoying the guessing.

Market

Eyes on Andre Asante again

The phone has started ringing about Andre Asante again, and this time the name on the line is Inter Allies. Wa All Stars are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

A falling-out at Wa All Stars

Afriyie Mensah and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets

Liberty Professionals tell Wa All Stars: Kwame Owusu is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The dugout

No hiding place for Felix Partey

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Felix Partey, and the manager let it.

Squad

Andre Paintsil stays put

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

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.
