Match

PWD Bamenda are in among the leaders

Position 2 and 46 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Market

Christian Mbia asks to leave PWD Bamenda

“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.

Squad

Words at PWD Bamenda training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Abdel Razack 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.

Squad

Words exchanged at PWD Bamenda

Kelvin Leku 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.

The dugout

Roan Nogha 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 Roan Nogha is on it.

Market

The Beck-Ray Enoru question follows PWD Bamenda around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Beck-Ray Enoru’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

The dugout

Patrick Song 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.

Market

PWD Bamenda put Joel Siani up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Joel Siani may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Market

The clock does Jean Moukandjo’s negotiating for him

4 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee PWD Bamenda could ask drops and the wages Jean Moukandjo can ask rise.

Squad

46 days out for Mamoudou Hassana after a fracture

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

Market

Landry Onguene puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at PWD Bamenda, and it is not being withdrawn.

Boardroom

PWD Bamenda close the window on a squad of their own making

5 in and 16 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.

Boardroom

PWD Bamenda tie Ambroise Mbarga down

A new deal for the man in the dugout, and the clearest thing a board can say without calling a press conference about it. Stability is cheap to promise and expensive to deliver.

Market

So close: Kadad Ning Che’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Canon Yaounde moved on, Kadad Ning Che reports back to PWD Bamenda, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Squad

Words exchanged at PWD Bamenda

Abdel Razack 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.

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at PWD Bamenda

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Carlos Yougouda

PWD Bamenda asked and Canon Yaounde said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

PWD Bamenda promote Emmanuel Song from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Emmanuel Song 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.
