The dugout

Samson Olasupo keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Remo Stars may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Transfer targets

Remo Stars rebuffed over Riquelme Felipe

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

Squad

A falling-out at Remo Stars

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

Match

A bad afternoon for Remo Stars against Wikki Tourists

0‑2 to Wikki Tourists, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Adama Goïta

“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

Odunsi Sunday 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

Adebayo Balogun answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Remo Stars

5 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Squad

Umar Adebayor signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Umar Adebayor and Remo Stars agree another 4 years.

Squad

Johnson Amuzu breaks a bone — 64 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 64 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Terms done: Emmanuel Olisa is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Warri Wolves waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Remo Stars is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Market

Wisdom Udom 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 Remo Stars can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

A move Raymond Anthony would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Raymond Anthony is living that version at Remo Stars, and it tends to show in the first month.

Match

Nobody wins at Remo Stars

10 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Boardroom

6 academy graduates step up at Remo Stars

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

The dugout

Joseph Abah frozen out at Remo Stars

This is not rotation. Joseph Abah has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Remo Stars is pretending otherwise.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Gimba Ajiji

Remo Stars asked and Plateau United 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

Words exchanged at Remo Stars

Sunday Aniebet 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.

In brief
