Squad

Ernest Baba breaks a bone — 30 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 30 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Patrick Annan 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 The request is on a desk at WAFA, and it is not being withdrawn.

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

Jonathan Adjei damages knee ligaments — 39 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 39 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

Ernest Baba breaks a bone — 60 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 60 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Patrick Annan 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

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.

Match

Yaw Annor’s goal not enough for WAFA

Yaw Annor scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Berekum Chelsea, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

Jonathan Adjei damages knee ligaments — 99 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 99 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

WAFA taken apart

1‑5 to Aduana Stars, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Player ratings

Up for the corner, and Samuel Baba delivers — 7.55

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Samuel Baba scored, was marked 7.55, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

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.

Match

6 goals as WAFA and Aduana Stars go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between WAFA and Aduana Stars, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Squad

Patrick Annan is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Market

$40.0K — a new record at WAFA

No footballer has ever cost this club more, and the number will be read out every time he misplaces a pass for the next two years.

Market

Felix Ofori sold, and an era ends

$72.0K from Heart of Lions for Felix Ofori. Money is money, but the dressing room has lost the man it looked to.

The terraces

Supporters turn on the $72.0K sale of Felix Ofori

He is going to Heart of Lions, the club has $72.0K it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Market

Andre Mensah 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.

The terraces

$40.0K for Yaw Annor, and WAFA supporters approve

Boards get told what they have done wrong for years and hear nothing on the days they get it right. This is one of those days: Yaw Annor from Bechem United for $40.0K, and a ticket office having a very good morning.

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.
