Market

David Gyan asks to leave AS PSI

“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

Ronwen Jali has one foot out of the door

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

Squad

Tempers go at AS PSI

Yannick Masra 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

Real improvement from Darwin Rondon at AS PSI

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Darwin Rondon is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Fabien Djedanoum has improved at 25, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Market

Renaissance watching Isaac Omweri

The interest is real enough to have reached print. AS PSI have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

In brief

  • Squad David Gyan falls out with a teammate over standards
  • Market AS Algoy are about to pick up the phone

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Adu Emmanuel

136 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. AS PSI lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

AS PSI turn down AS DGSSIE for Nassar Koulelengar

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

Market

Michael Stamatelopoulos hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what AS PSI can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Marius Mbaiguedem is on his way

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

Squad

Tempers go at AS PSI

Nassar Koulelengar 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

Aiglons join the queue for Terem Eze

Add another name to the list: Aiglons have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Terem Eze. The answer from AS PSI has not changed — yet.

Market

Only the photograph left for Nassar Koulelengar

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Nassar Koulelengar will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around AS PSI the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Boardroom

The numbers do not look good at AS PSI

Wages have outrun income and the accountants have started attending meetings they used to send apologies to. Ambition comes second in a season like this.

Market

Abdramane Mbainaissem hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what AS PSI can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Nassar Koulelengar 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 PSI this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A late step up for Teddy Dok

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

Brahim Souleymane gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Brahim Souleymane has just signed for AS PSI, and for once the answer mattered.
