Squad

Saleh Abba breaks a bone — 35 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 35 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Transfer targets

Marius Oumar is a medical away from AS DGSSIE

The deal with Elect Sport is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Transfer targets

No deal for Saleh Mbaiguedem at that price

AS DGSSIE offered $7.0K; Stars Jeunes Talents said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Transfer targets

AS DGSSIE rebuffed over Abdramane Allamine

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. AS Algoy have kept their man, and AS DGSSIE go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

Tempers go at AS DGSSIE

Ousmane Hissein 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

Ousmane Hissein signs for AS DGSSIE to fix the gap everybody could see

There is a particular relief in a club addressing the thing its own crowd has been shouting about. Ousmane Hissein arrives for exactly that job, and now he has to do it.

Squad

7 new faces, and AS DGSSIE 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.

Transfer targets

AS DGSSIE ask about Adam Mbaiguedem

A loan enquiry to Elect Sport: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Squad

Marius Djimet signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Marius Djimet and AS DGSSIE agree another 3 years.

Squad

Abdramane Djimet damages knee ligaments — 23 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 23 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

Umar Ekong 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 Stars Jeunes Talents can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Words exchanged at Stars Jeunes Talents

Umar Ekong and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market

Noussair Regragui attracts admirers

The name of Noussair Regragui has come up in conversations Stars Jeunes Talents were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

Words at Stars Jeunes Talents training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ahmat Allamine 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.

Transfer targets

Stars Jeunes Talents ask about Noël Allaramadji

A loan enquiry to AS PSI: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Ezechiel Mbaiguedem is in the works

Stars Jeunes Talents have made the call to AS Algoy. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Market

The Brahim Ndoram conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Galactik will make the call about Brahim Ndoram this week. Stars Jeunes Talents have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Squad

Questions about Oumar Hissein on the training pitch

The standards have slipped, and in a building where everybody watches everybody it has not gone unremarked. This is how a player loses a place before he loses one.

Market

Arnaud Kunde agrees terms with AS Etat Major

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Stars Jeunes Talents people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market

Stars Jeunes Talents say no — this time

The offer from AS PSI for Abdoulaye Abakar 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

Oumar Hissein asks to leave Stars Jeunes Talents

“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

Umar Ekong signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Umar Ekong commits to Stars Jeunes Talents for another 3 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Stars Jeunes Talents

Umar Ekong 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.

Transfer targets

Foullah Edifice tell Stars Jeunes Talents: Florent Warna is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Transfer targets

Stars Jeunes Talents ask about Florent Warna

A loan enquiry to Foullah Edifice: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Squad

Words at Stars Jeunes Talents training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Abdoulaye Haroun 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.

The dugout

Umar Ekong asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

Abdoulaye Abakar 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 Stars Jeunes Talents can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Umar Ekong 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 Stars Jeunes Talents this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

AS Etat Major watching Arnaud Kunde

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Stars Jeunes Talents have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad

Words at Stars Jeunes Talents training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ahmat Allamine 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

Abdoulaye Haroun stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Abdoulaye Haroun and Stars Jeunes Talents agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Florent Warna is in the works

Stars Jeunes Talents have made the call to Foullah Edifice. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

The dugout

Umar Ekong 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 Stars Jeunes Talents, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

Abdoulaye Doungous told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Abdoulaye Doungous has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Stars Jeunes Talents.

Market

The Ezechiel Mbainaissem question follows Stars Jeunes Talents around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Ezechiel Mbainaissem’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.
