Market

Only the photograph left for Eric Ngamaleu

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Eric Ngamaleu will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around PWD Bamenda the goodbyes have quietly begun.

The dugout

Valentine Abeweh frozen out at PWD Bamenda

This is not rotation. Valentine Abeweh has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at PWD Bamenda is pretending otherwise.

Squad

Christian Nga Mvogo is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Christian Nga Mvogo 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.

Squad

Valentine Abeweh 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 PWD Bamenda this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

Junior Ambassa has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at PWD Bamenda will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout

No hiding place for Brice Ngamakoua

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Brice Ngamakoua, and the manager let it.

Market

A year in the wrong dressing room for Kadad Ning Che

He went out to keep goal every week and came back with 3 games and 1 of them shut out. Somebody at PWD Bamenda argued for this move last summer; nobody is arguing for it now.

The dugout

The manager has not finished forgetting Fabrice Ndeh Nsoh's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Market

The Serge Daura story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Serge Daura signs something — a contract at PWD Bamenda or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

PWD Bamenda say no — this time

The offer from Unisport Bafang for Serge Daura was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Odrick Bisah has said yes to Fortuna Mfou

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. PWD Bamenda have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market

Valentine Abeweh 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 PWD Bamenda can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Only the photograph left for Alain Sifor

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Alain Sifor will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around PWD Bamenda the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Serge Daura 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 PWD Bamenda this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

Yaya Aluyu frozen out at PWD Bamenda

This is not rotation. Yaya Aluyu has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at PWD Bamenda is pretending otherwise.

Squad

Benjamin Siani signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Benjamin Siani commits to PWD Bamenda for another 3 years.

Squad

Words at PWD Bamenda training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Abdoullahi Sabo 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

Fon Boris Kache gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Fon Boris Kache is on it.

In brief
