Manuel Maurice Nkoulou 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 Dynamo Douala can pretend not to have heard.

Dynamo Douala close the window on a squad of their own making
7 in and 10 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.

So close: Karim Hamadou’s move dies late

No place for Laurian Nguefack in the new shape
He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Dynamo Douala are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.
