Squad

A fracture rules Fady Nagah out for 102 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Fortuna Mfou will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match

Fortuna Mfou are in real trouble now

Position 13, 13 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Squad

Yakoub Guellati is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Market

Serge Eloundou is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Fortuna Mfou is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Tempers go at Fortuna Mfou

Fady Nagah 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

A late step up for Kgwadi Molepo

At 25 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Squad

Tempers go at Fortuna Mfou

Philippe Essama 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.

Market

Fortuna Mfou finally fill the problem position with Mahmoud Labib

Every supporter in the ground could have named the hole in this team, and most of them did, loudly, for months. Mahmoud Labib has been signed to close it.

Market

Fortuna Mfou and Mahmoud Labib are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad

5 new faces, and Fortuna Mfou are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Squad

Kgwadi Molepo still has not settled

A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at Fortuna Mfou would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.

Market

Patrick Mani is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Fortuna Mfou has been clear about where Patrick Mani stands, which is more than many ever get.

Squad

Fady Nagah 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 Fortuna Mfou this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Fady Nagah has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Fortuna Mfou know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Market

Talks stall between Fortuna Mfou and Kgwadi Molepo

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market

The clock runs on Sebastian Arnaud's contract

48 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Market

Fortuna Mfou buy the years ahead of Patrick Mani

He is 16, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Market

Fortuna Mfou buy the years ahead of Emmanuel Mbia

He is 16, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.
