Squad

A falling-out at Aduana Stars

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

Squad

The step up is real for Abubakar Adams

At 19 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

One of our own: David Partey joins the Aduana Stars first team

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

Squad

Maxwell Arthur 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Mezack Afriyie

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

Looking ahead

Daouda Sidibé faces his old club

Medeama next, and one man in the Aduana Stars dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

The dugout

Godfred Boakye asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad

Bismark Anim has settled at Aduana Stars

The shrug has gone, the language is coming, and he now argues in training like somebody who expects to be here next year. Half a signing's value is this and none of it appears on a fee.

The Patrick Mensah story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Patrick Mensah signs something — a contract at Aduana Stars or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

In brief
