Market18 Dec 2028

Jeffrey Mensah asks to leave Hasaacas

“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.

Squad18 Dec 2028

Rivio Ayemwenre 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 Hasaacas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The crowd has taken to Andrew Owusu

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

The dugout18 Dec 2028

Osman Essien gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings18 Dec 2028

Nobody on the pitch touched Andrew Owusu

7.60, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Hasaacas had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Squad18 Dec 2028

Andre Baba stays put

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

The dugout18 Dec 2028

Hasaacas keep their word to Osman Essien

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

The dugout18 Dec 2028

Afriyie Kudus on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Afriyie Kudus after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

The dugout18 Dec 2028

Hasaacas pick somebody else ahead of Eurichano Setila

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Market4 Dec 2028

Felix Adjei 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 Hasaacas can pretend not to have heard.

Squad4 Dec 2028

Thomas Adjei stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Thomas Adjei and Hasaacas agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad4 Dec 2028

Words exchanged at Hasaacas

Rivio Ayemwenre 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.

Squad4 Dec 2028

Eurichano Setila wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Hasaacas can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Market4 Dec 2028

Christian Paintsil steps up from the Hasaacas academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Christian Paintsil has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market4 Dec 2028

Hasaacas promote Albert Schlupp from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Albert Schlupp 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.

One of our own: Andre Baba joins the Hasaacas first team

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

Player ratings4 Dec 2028

Harrison Baba ran the middle of the pitch — 7.19

He won it back and then made something of it, which is two jobs and the reason the scoreline looks the way it does. 11 combined actions and a mark of 7.19, and not one of them will make a highlights package.

Squad4 Dec 2028

Eurichano Setila 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.
