Market

Abdul Atiemo has one foot out of the door

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

Match

The wait goes on for BA All Stars

7 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad

Words exchanged at BA All Stars

Daddy Abdulrahman 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for BA All Stars against Bechem United

1‑2 to Bechem United, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Looking ahead

A six-pointer for BA All Stars

Inter Allies next, and both sides can do the sum. Win and the table looks different; lose and it looks the way everybody has been fearing.

The dugout

Christian Ofori answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Squad

Isaac Baba stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Isaac Baba and BA All Stars agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Words at BA All Stars training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Albert Asante is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Albert Asante

“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

The knee: Edmund Essien out for 21 days

21 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. BA All Stars lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market

Only the photograph left for Albert Adjei

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Albert Adjei will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around BA All Stars the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Match

5 matches without a win for BA All Stars

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around BA All Stars are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Albert Adjei 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 BA All Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

One of our own: Felix Kudus joins the BA All Stars first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Felix Kudus is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

One of our own: Thomas Appiah joins the BA All Stars first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Thomas Appiah is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

One of our own: Isaac Baba joins the BA All Stars first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Isaac Baba is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Squad

A row about effort at BA All Stars

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Abdul Atiemo was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

Robert Mboya signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Robert Mboya commits to BA All Stars for another 1 years.
