Squad

Amos Annan keeps BA All Stars in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 11 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Jonathan Gyan at 21 — 7.82

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Jonathan Gyan did not need any: 7.82, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Market

Kwame Bukari 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

Words exchanged at BA All Stars

Jonathan Gyan 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.

Match

BA All Stars share the spoils with Hearts of Oak

A 1‑1 draw with Hearts of Oak leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The dugout

Half-satisfied: Baba Ayew on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 1‑1, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

Market

The shop window has Harrison Partey in it

BA All Stars have let the market know Harrison Partey can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

The dugout

Harrison Partey knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Harrison Partey trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

The dugout

Somebody else is better right now than Kwadwo Waris

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

In brief

Squad

Jonathan Gyan 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

Albert Afful signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Albert Afful and BA All Stars agree another 2 years.

Squad

A row about effort at BA All Stars

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

Squad

The formation has left Mamudo Moro behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. BA All Stars will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Isaac Frimpong is in the works

BA All Stars have made the call to Hearts of Oak. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Transfer targets

BA All Stars ask about Kelvin Appiah

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