Match

WAFA refuse to lose to Asante Kotoko

A point taken on 86 minutes is worth exactly one point and considerably more than that to a dressing room. This side does not stop, which is a reputation worth more than the result.

Squad

Words exchanged at WAFA

Afriyie Addo 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.

Squad

Words at WAFA training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Emmanuel Paintsil 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 ratings

The afternoon belonged to a squad player

A mark of 7.64, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Match

WAFA and Asante Kotoko take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

The dugout

Francis Annan: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 1‑1 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

Market

WAFA and Kwame Gyan are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Isaac Adjei

Successful dribbles: 10. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The dugout

No place in the plan for Afriyie Addo

The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Dennis Konney

36 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. WAFA lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

Gladson Nuhu asks to leave WAFA

“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.

Boardroom

WAFA close the window on a squad of their own making

10 in and 2 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Market

WAFA say no — this time

The offer from Ashanti Gold for Gladson Nuhu 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.

Transfer targets

WAFA baulk at the price for Kelvin Appiah

Hearts of Oak wanted more than $33.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Boardroom

Graduation day at WAFA

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Transfer targets

Amadu Abdulai stays at Bechem United as time runs out

A deal that was a phone call from completion at lunchtime was dead by midnight. WAFA will try again when the window opens; Bechem United may not be selling by then.

Market

Afriyie Atiemo steps up from the WAFA academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Afriyie Atiemo has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

WAFA promote Nana Paintsil from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Nana Paintsil has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
