Akpan Nsikak-Abong keeps Kun Khalifat in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Olayinka Osayi-Samuel 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 The request is on a desk at Kun Khalifat, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout28 Jun 2032

Osayi Olagunju: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Kun Khalifat have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market28 Jun 2032

Bongani Erasmus is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Kun Khalifat is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Transfer targets28 Jun 2032

Kun Khalifat bid $230.0K for Samuel Anakwe

The offer went to Remo Stars this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Akpan Nsikak-Abong 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 Kun Khalifat this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Blessed Iyamu 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.

Door shut on Kelvin Akinmola

Kun Khalifat asked and Enyimba said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match26 Jun 2032

Kano Pillars take the points off Kun Khalifat

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market21 Jun 2032

Kun Khalifat say no — this time

The offer from Wikki Tourists for Adam Price 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.

Peter Okereke 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 The request is on a desk at Kun Khalifat, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad21 Jun 2032

A falling-out at Kun Khalifat

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

Transfer targets21 Jun 2032

Too dear: Kun Khalifat walk away from Samuel Anakwe

$230.0K was the most the club would pay and Remo Stars were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Transfer targets21 Jun 2032

Remo Stars tell Kun Khalifat: Luphumlo Sifumba 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.

Squad21 Jun 2032

Words at Kun Khalifat training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Blessed Iyamu 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.

Match19 Jun 2032

Honours even between Kun Khalifat and Bayelsa United

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

The dugout21 Jun 2032

Interim Coach on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Interim Coach after the 1‑1 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

The dugout21 Jun 2032

No hiding place for Odion Eze

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