Squad

Yaw Acheampong breaks a bone — 119 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 119 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The terraces

Supporters organise against the BA All Stars board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Market

Nana Kyereh has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around BA All Stars they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Market

Nana Wakaso 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 The request is on a desk at BA All Stars, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Kamaldeen Addo 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 BA All Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

BA All Stars rebuffed over Christian Baba

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Ashanti Gold have kept their man, and BA All Stars go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

A row about effort at BA All Stars

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

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Lizalise Mahumza

“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.

Squad

Daniel Addo signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Daniel Addo commits to BA All Stars for another 3 years.

Boardroom

Pressure builds in the BA All Stars boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Squad

Abdul Paintsil breaks a bone — 16 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 16 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The dugout

Daniel Addo: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” BA All Stars have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

A falling-out at BA All Stars

Kamaldeen Addo and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Abeiku Appiah 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.

The dugout

Baba Asante loses the manager who believed in him

A change in the dugout is not one story, it is twenty-five of them. This is Baba Asante's: he was somebody's player, and now he has to be somebody else's, starting from nothing.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Mohammed Amoah

“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.

Squad

BA All Stars have started building around Andre Gyan

He used to be one of the options. He is now one of the men the options are picked around, and the change happened quietly enough that only the dressing room noticed on the day.

Market

The Kamaldeen Addo story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Kamaldeen Addo signs something — a contract at BA All Stars or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.
