Squad1 Jul 2030

Benjamin Tsivanyo is the young player of the season

Not a month, not a run of form — a whole season of being the best 21-year-old anybody in this division could put on a pitch. This is the honour that gets mentioned for the rest of his career.

Words exchanged at Aduana Stars

Daouda Sidibé 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.

Squad1 Jul 2030

Daniel Awuni 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.

Dinamo Minsk tell Aduana Stars: Mikhail Klyakin is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Aduana Stars try to borrow Taj Rožič Šuligoj

ND Gorica have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Mohammed Seidu 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.

Charles Gyamfi Kamara 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 Charles Gyamfi Kamara is on it.

Market1 Jul 2030

The William Dankyi talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Aduana Stars know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Squad15 Apr 2030

Abraham Annan damages knee ligaments — 76 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 76 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Emmanuel Abban keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Aduana Stars may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad15 Apr 2030

A falling-out at Aduana Stars

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

Squad15 Apr 2030

A row about effort at Aduana Stars

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

Emmanuel Sefah 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.

The dugout15 Apr 2030

Mezack Afriyie has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Aduana Stars 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.
