Squad

Mark Gibson says Remo Stars went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market

Moses Simon is on his way

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

Squad

Tempers go at Remo Stars

Muhammed Kabiru 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

Moses Simon has one foot out of the door

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

Squad

Robert Mizo stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Robert Mizo and Remo Stars agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Remo Stars

Muhammed Kabiru 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

Luis Fariña 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.

Boardroom

$3.8M on the table at Remo Stars

The board have answered with money instead of encouragement, which is the only answer a manager ever wants. Spending it well is now entirely his problem.

Squad

Elvis Bwomono named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Elvis Bwomono is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Match

10 unbeaten for Remo Stars

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 10 matches without defeat is a foundation Remo Stars did not have in the autumn.

Market

Lekan Malik 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

Sodiq Oshidero 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.

Squad

Another clean sheet for Biola Sabitu

20 shut-outs and counting. Goalkeepers are only noticed when they fail, and Biola Sabitu has given nobody the chance.

Market

Wikki Tourists come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Remo Stars did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Moses Simon is on his way

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

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Emmanuel Ugwu

Defensive actions: 25. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

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.

Player ratings

Samuel Anakwe runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
