From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

The knee: Afriyie Baba out for 38 days

38 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Wa All Stars lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match

12 matches without a win for Wa All Stars

The run now stands at 12, and the questions being asked around Wa All Stars are no longer polite ones.

Market

Emmanuel Asamoah asks to leave Wa 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.

The dugout

Steven Nufour frozen out at Wa All Stars

This is not rotation. Steven Nufour has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Wa All Stars is pretending otherwise.

Squad

A falling-out at Wa All Stars

Harrison Nuhu and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Words at Wa All Stars training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Abdul Adjei 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

No hiding place for Nana Amoah

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

Squad

Andre Schlupp signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Andre Schlupp and Wa All Stars agree another 3 years.

Match

Thomas Ayew rescues a point for Wa All Stars

It needed Thomas Ayew to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Bechem United, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

In brief

  • The dugout When it matters, Bernard Owusu plays
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict

From our football correspondent Steady

The dugout

Ibrahim Haidara says Wa All Stars went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Tempers go at Wa All Stars

Bernard Owusu 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

Thomas Ayew stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Thomas Ayew and Wa All Stars agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout

Steven Nufour gets it from the manager

“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.

Squad

A row about effort at Wa All Stars

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Samuel Adeleye was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

Gladson Mensah gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Gladson Mensah is on it.

In brief
