Player ratings

A defender's goal wins it for WAFA — 7.79

1 for Harrison Schlupp, marked 7.79, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Squad

Real improvement from Andre Mensah at WAFA

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Andre Mensah is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Kamaldeen Partey

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

A bad afternoon for WAFA against Medeama

1‑3 to Medeama, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Kamaldeen Partey falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Emmanuel Partey gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market

Berekum Chelsea come back empty-handed

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

Market

Amos Paintsil 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 WAFA can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

No hiding place for Afriyie Sulemana

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

Market

Eyes on Samuel Baba again

The phone has started ringing about Samuel Baba again, and this time the name on the line is Berekum Chelsea. WAFA are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

Tempers go at WAFA

Samuel Baba 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.

Squad

Afriyie Sulemana falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Emmanuel Partey gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market

The Andre Acquah conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Plateau United will make the call about Andre Acquah this week. WAFA have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Market

No place for Francis Bukari in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Francis Bukari has his answer from WAFA; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Market

Vancouver Whitecaps join the queue for Afriyie Sulemana

Add another name to the list: Vancouver Whitecaps have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Afriyie Sulemana. The answer from WAFA has not changed — yet.

Squad

Samuel Baba 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 WAFA this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Andrew Wakaso stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Andrew Wakaso and WAFA agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Words at WAFA training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kamaldeen Partey 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.

Market

No place for Amos Paintsil in the plan

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

Squad

Kamaldeen Partey knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at WAFA, and both men came out saying it was fine.
