Squad

Abdulaziz Dalhatu 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.

Squad

Andrew Annan signs on for more

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

Match

Wa All Stars come up short against Asante Kotoko

Asante Kotoko left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

Andrew Annan 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.

The dugout

Jonathan Annan answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout

When it matters, Emmanuel Kudus plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout

Kamaldeen Ayew left out for tactical reasons at Wa All Stars

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Player ratings

Abdulaziz Dalhatu beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 7. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Market

Kwadwo Schlupp placed on the list

Wa All Stars have made Kwadwo Schlupp available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Market

Francis Waris 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 Wa All Stars can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

A move Friday Ubong would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Friday Ubong is living that version at Wa All Stars, and it tends to show in the first month.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Zalli Abdullahi

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Wa All Stars have done the hard part with Rivers United, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad

Friday Ubong signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Friday Ubong commits to Wa All Stars for another 3 years.

Squad

Afriyie Djiku 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.

Squad

Words at Wa All Stars training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Andrew Annan 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

Samuel Atiemo 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.

Market

Andre Asamoah told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Andre Asamoah has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Wa All Stars.

The dugout

Afriyie Djiku 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 Wa All Stars, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

Tempers go at Wa All Stars

Afriyie Djiku 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

Barnet tell Wa All Stars: Nnamdi Ofoborh 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.

Squad

Andrew Annan 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

Andre Asamoah signs on for more

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

Transfer targets

Wa All Stars ask about Segun Owoade

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

The dugout

Afriyie Djiku 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 Wa All Stars, and both men came out saying it was fine.
