Market

WAFA sell Kwame Owusu for $1.3M

Kwame Owusu has left for Asante Kotoko in a $1.3M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Transfer targets

WAFA baulk at the price for Shayibu Abubakari

Asante Kotoko wanted more than $21.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Squad

Joseph Nuhu 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.

The dugout

Afriyie Wakaso 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

No place for Nurudeen Abdulai in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation WAFA are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Squad

Words exchanged at WAFA

Abraham Sulemana 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

Edmund Appiah signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Edmund Appiah commits to WAFA for another 3 years.

Market

The Yaw Asante conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: BA All Stars will make the call about Yaw Asante this week. WAFA have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Market

Talks stall between WAFA and Nurudeen Abdulai

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market

WAFA say no — this time

The offer from Heart of Lions for Kwame Owusu 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

Abraham Sulemana puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at WAFA, and it is not being withdrawn.

Boardroom

WAFA go back to the board over Shayibu Abubakari

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $22.8K — a club that wants Shayibu Abubakari enough to be asked twice.

Squad

Afriyie Wakaso stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Afriyie Wakaso and WAFA agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Kwame Owusu 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 WAFA this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

WAFA make their move for Shayibu Abubakari

$21.0K on the table at Asante Kotoko. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.
