Squad

A fracture rules Gualberto out for 85 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason BA All Stars will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Abraham Afful is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at BA All Stars is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Sheriff Alabani keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” BA All Stars may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Brahim Sabaouni 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 BA All Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at BA All Stars training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Edimar 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for BA All Stars against Asante Kotoko

0‑1 to Asante Kotoko, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Gualberto breaks a bone — 121 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 121 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match

BA All Stars taken apart

0‑4 to Ashanti Gold, 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.

Squad

Tempers go at BA All Stars

Samuel Acquah 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

Edimar 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.

Loan watch

Ernest Essien has seen enough of Inter Allies

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at BA All Stars, and 1 appearances in 6 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Gualberto

“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.

Boardroom

Nobody left the BA All Stars dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Market

BA All Stars and Gualberto are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Market

BA All Stars bring in an old head

Neguete is 36 and has run out of things to prove. What he has left is where to stand, when to slow it down and what to say at half-time, and none of that is on a fitness chart.

Market

Andre Appiah 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 BA All Stars, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Brahim Sabaouni 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 BA All Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

No hiding place for Abdul Bukari

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

Market

Hasaacas come back empty-handed

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

Market

Felix Adjei asks to leave BA All Stars

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Tempers go at BA All Stars

Osman Mohammed 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

Words at BA All Stars training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Brahim Sabaouni 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Osman Mohammed

“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

6 new faces, and BA All Stars are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Market

BA All Stars turn down Bechem United for Samuel Acquah

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Abdul Bukari 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 BA All Stars can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

BA All Stars lose Samuel Acquah

56 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad

Samuel Acquah stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Samuel Acquah and BA All Stars agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Osman Mohammed 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 BA All Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
