Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Abdramane Oumar is 17, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Saleh Moustapha has improved at 26, which nobody expected
Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Ali Ngaradoumbe commits to AS Algoy for another 3 years.

Ali Ngaradoumbe 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.

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at AS Algoy, and 0 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.

Ahmat Ndoram is 14, and AS Algoy have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what AS Algoy can pretend not to have heard.

Aiglons come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and AS Algoy did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

The name of Moussa Youssouf has come up in conversations AS Algoy were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.
Squad24 Aug 2026
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Youssouf Bechir, and the manager let it.

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at AS Algoy this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Market24 Aug 2026
Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. AS Algoy will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

“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 The request is on a desk at AS Algoy, and it is not being withdrawn.

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Ahmat Abakar and AS Algoy agree another 2 years.

Business is business: Ali Hissein goes
AS Etat Major paid $11.0K and AS Algoy took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Brahim Haroun 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.
