Daniel Inusah breaks a bone — 19 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 19 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Only the photograph left for Ernest Appiah
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Ernest Appiah will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Wa All Stars the goodbyes have quietly begun.
Squad16 Aug 2027
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Daniel Alvarado is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Mohammed Djiku and Wa All Stars agree another 4 years.

Junaid Sait 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.

Junaid Sait 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.

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Edmund Asamoah commits to Wa All Stars for another 4 years.

A fracture rules Daniel Inusah out for 48 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Wa All Stars will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Ernest Appiah has one foot out of the door
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Wa All Stars they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

A season's verdict on Edmund Asamoah: the best of his age
Wa All Stars have a 21-year-old the division has just voted its finest young footballer. The club's next problem is that everybody else now knows it too.
Market5 Jul 2027
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.

28 games, 21 goals, and a squad option that has arrived without a fee attached. The interesting question at Wa All Stars now is not whether he plays but who he displaces.

The offer from Melbourne City for Joseph 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.

Abraham Afful 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.

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

“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.

0‑4 against Asante Kotoko, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.
Player ratings23 Nov 2026
Successful dribbles: 30. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
Squad23 Nov 2026
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Nobody left the Wa 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.
Loan watch23 Nov 2026
12 appearances at New Edubiase United and the goals keep coming. Wa All Stars are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

Words at Wa All Stars training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Abraham Afful 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.
Player ratings23 Nov 2026
Ten men and a goalkeeper behind him, and it still finished in the net. He knew before anybody told him, and nobody at Wa All Stars needed to.

Match3 Oct 2026
2 goals to the good, and then a slow surrender of everything that had been earned. Gladson Paintsil will not be the one blamed for it, but nobody at Wa All Stars escapes the conversation that follows a collapse like this.
Player ratings5 Oct 2026
Two goals and a mark of 8.67 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Successful dribbles: 29. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Market5 Oct 2026
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Wa All Stars is pretending he will be back in the shirt.
Boardroom5 Oct 2026
There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Bernard Boateng has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.
