Market

AS Etat Major turn down AS DGSSIE for Oumar Mbainaissem

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

Market

Issa Bechir 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 The request is on a desk at AS Etat Major, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Adam Adoum agrees terms with AS Algoy

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around AS Etat Major people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Squad

Ali Oumar 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 AS Etat Major this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Abdramane Haroun attracts admirers

The name of Abdramane Haroun has come up in conversations AS Etat Major were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

A row about effort at AS Etat Major

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Maxime Mbeumo was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

Ezechiel Mbaiguedem stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Ezechiel Mbaiguedem and AS Etat Major agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout

No hiding place for Ezechiel Mbaiguedem

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Ezechiel Mbaiguedem, and the manager let it.

The dugout

Brahim Bechir asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

Narcisse Oumar asks to leave AS Etat Major

“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.

Market

AS Etat Major say no — this time

The offer from AS DGSSIE for Abdramane Haroun 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.

Squad

Ali Oumar signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Ali Oumar and AS Etat Major agree another 2 years.

Squad

Tempers go at AS Etat Major

Maxime Mbeumo 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.

Squad

Ali Oumar 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.

Market

AS Etat Major promote Brahim Bechir from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Brahim Bechir 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.
