Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Thomas Schlupp

18 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. WAFA lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match

WAFA let it slip despite Andre Appiah

Andre Appiah had done his part in building a 3-goal cushion. What happened after that was collective, and Ashanti Gold were allowed back into a match that had been finished with.

Player ratings

Both of them Samuel Asamoah's — 9.83

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.83, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

Bernard Asante keeps WAFA in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

WAFA say no — this time

The offer from Asante Kotoko for David Wakaso was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

The Ashanti Gold deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and David Kyereh reports back to WAFA with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Market

Emmanuel Boateng 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Gladson Adjei

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Thomas Schlupp damages knee ligaments — 26 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 26 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.

Market

WAFA turn down Asante Kotoko for Samuel Asamoah

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

Market

Felix Waris 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 The request is on a desk at WAFA, and it is not being withdrawn.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

Tempers go at WAFA

Bernard Asante 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

Eyes on David Kyereh again

The phone has started ringing about David Kyereh again, and this time the name on the line is Ashanti Gold. WAFA are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

Emmanuel Paintsil 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

A knee injury of the worst kind for Thomas Schlupp

34 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. WAFA lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

WAFA say no — this time

The offer from Asante Kotoko for Abeiku Bukari was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Osman Bukari asks to leave WAFA

“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.
