Transfer targets

An offer of $170.0K for Dimpol Omamo

Bidco United have gone to Posta Rangers with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad

Tempers go at Bidco United

Michael Bodo 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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on David Simiyu

Bidco United asked and Kenya Police said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

A row about effort at Bidco United

One of our own: Harun Kipkirui joins the Bidco United first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Harun Kipkirui is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Collins Odhiambo steps up from the Bidco United academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Collins Odhiambo has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of David Kalama

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

In brief
