A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. New Edubiase United will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.
Boardroom7 Sep 2026
New Edubiase United close the window on a squad of their own making
31 in and 0 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.
Boardroom7 Sep 2026
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.
Transfer targets7 Sep 2026
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.
Squad7 Sep 2026
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Randy Dwumfour was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Market7 Sep 2026
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Emmanuel Appiah has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
Market7 Sep 2026
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at New Edubiase United, another week without a signature from Emmanuel Yeboah.
Squad7 Sep 2026
Daniel Schlupp 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.

Enock Afram is no longer first choice
The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Enock Afram has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

Squad31 Aug 2026
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 72 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.
Market31 Aug 2026
“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.
Transfer targets31 Aug 2026
Shooting Stars wanted more than $56.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.
Squad31 Aug 2026
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Osas Okoro was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Transfer targets31 Aug 2026
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.
Squad31 Aug 2026
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at New Edubiase United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 80 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.
Squad24 Aug 2026
Emmanuel Yeboah 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.
Transfer targets24 Aug 2026
New Edubiase United have gone to Shooting Stars with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Osas Okoro 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.
Transfer targets24 Aug 2026
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. WAFA have kept their man, and New Edubiase United go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Squad24 Aug 2026
17 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.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Randy Dwumfour
20 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. New Edubiase United lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. New Edubiase United will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

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

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

A stepping stone, not a home, for Godbless Ayeke
He is doing his job and he is not settling. New Edubiase United were supposed to be a step up in his own reckoning, and his own reckoning has been adjusted since he arrived.
Squad17 Aug 2026
The formation has left Torric Jebrin behind
Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. New Edubiase United will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.
Market17 Aug 2026
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at New Edubiase United, another week without a signature from Pius Ibrahim.
Transfer targets17 Aug 2026
A loan enquiry to Hasaacas: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Francis Adjei is free to find somewhere else
“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at New Edubiase United has been clear about where Francis Adjei stands, which is more than many ever get.
