Failed medical for Mohamed El Ouardi

The deal with Renaissance died in the treatment room. Nobody will say what was found and everybody in the game will find out by Friday.

The dugout11 Jun 2029

Issa Bechir frozen out at Stars Jeunes Talents

This is not rotation. Issa Bechir has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Stars Jeunes Talents is pretending otherwise.

Brahim Abba 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 The request is on a desk at Stars Jeunes Talents, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad11 Jun 2029

A falling-out at Stars Jeunes Talents

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

Transfer targets11 Jun 2029

Stars Jeunes Talents baulk at the price for Goukouni Abakar

Elect Sport wanted more than $22.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Squad11 Jun 2029

A row about effort at Stars Jeunes Talents

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

Transfer targets11 Jun 2029

A loan move for Corentin Nicolas is in the works

Stars Jeunes Talents have made the call to Foullah Edifice. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

The dugout11 Jun 2029

Narcisse Ndoram 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 Narcisse Ndoram is on it.

The dugout11 Jun 2029

Issa Bechir knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Stars Jeunes Talents, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Saleh Bechir frozen out at Stars Jeunes Talents

This is not rotation. Saleh Bechir has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Stars Jeunes Talents is pretending otherwise.

Squad18 Dec 2028

A falling-out at Stars Jeunes Talents

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

Squad18 Dec 2028

Words at Stars Jeunes Talents training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Narcisse Ndoram 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 dugout18 Dec 2028

Issa Djimet is still paying for one afternoon at Stars Jeunes Talents

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

Issa Djimet knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Stars Jeunes Talents, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout18 Dec 2028

Oumar Mahamat has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Stars Jeunes Talents 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.

Market18 Dec 2028

Still no signature from Marius Mbaiguedem

3 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what Stars Jeunes Talents could get for him.

Market18 Dec 2028

The Narcisse Ndoram talk will not go away

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

Market18 Dec 2028

The shop window has Issa Bechir in it

Stars Jeunes Talents have let the market know Issa Bechir can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.
