James Kinyanjui asks to leave Bandari

“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.

Transfer targets28 Jan 2030

Kenneth Igboke due for a Bandari medical

Everything agreed with Gor Mahia, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Transfer targets28 Jan 2030

Door shut on Byrne Omondi

Bandari asked and Gor Mahia said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market28 Jan 2030

Eyes on Yakubu Saeed again

The phone has started ringing about Yakubu Saeed again, and this time the name on the line is Posta Rangers. Bandari are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad28 Jan 2030

A row about effort at Bandari

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

Brian Olunga stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Brian Olunga and Bandari agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Words exchanged at Bandari

Brian Olunga 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.

No hiding place for Hansel Ochieng

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

David Sakwa 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.

Squad19 Nov 2029

The season belongs to Albert Boakye

An individual honour is a strange thing in a team game, and the best of them are never argued with. He has had the sort of year that ends with his name being read out, and Bandari have had the benefit of it.

Daniel Sulemana gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Daniel Sulemana has just signed for Bandari, and for once the answer mattered.

A row about effort at Bandari

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

Boardroom19 Nov 2029

Wages eat 110% of everything Bandari earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Brian Olunga 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 Bandari this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

James Kinyanjui linked with a move away

The name of James Kinyanjui keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Bandari say nothing, which says plenty.
