Market21 Jan 2036

Adams Abdul Jabal has said yes to Ashanti Gold

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Medeama have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Player ratings21 Jan 2036

A brace, and Emmanuel Asante takes the afternoon — 9.15

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Emmanuel Asante provided it, and the 9.15 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Match19 Jan 2036

Medeama leave it late against Ashanti Gold

Ninety minutes of very little, and then everything at once. The winner arrived in the 88th, and Ashanti Gold spent what remained of the match appealing to the referee rather than chasing the ball.

Market21 Jan 2036

Abdul Mensah 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 The request is on a desk at Medeama, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings21 Jan 2036

Derrick Fordjour, 33, rolls back the years — 8.12

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.12 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Market21 Jan 2036

Medeama say no — this time

The offer from Heart of Lions for Abraham Kudus 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.

Market21 Jan 2036

Mohammed Addo is on his way

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

Transfer targets21 Jan 2036

Skima Togbe is a medical away from Medeama

The deal with Braga is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad21 Jan 2036

A falling-out at Medeama

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

The dugout20 Nov 2034

Thomas Afful: 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.” Medeama have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad20 Nov 2034

Fuzy Taylor 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 Medeama this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout20 Nov 2034

Derrick Fordjour has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Medeama 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.

The dugout20 Nov 2034

Daniel Boateng is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

Market20 Nov 2034

Fuzy Taylor linked with a move away

The name of Fuzy Taylor keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Medeama say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout20 Nov 2034

A door opens for Adams Abdul Jabal

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.
