10 saves: Osman Atiemo was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 10 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Mohammed Addo agrees terms with Unisport Bafang
The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around BA All Stars people have started saying his name in the past tense.

A fracture rules Patrick Essien out for 81 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason BA All Stars will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Deadline passes with 5 signed and 0 gone
That is the business done at BA All Stars until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Tempers go at BA All Stars
Harrison Inusah 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.

Words at BA All Stars training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Albert Addo 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 crowd has taken to Osman Atiemo
At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
