Marked for Caleb Njeru

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market24 Mar 2036

Caleb Njeru hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Bidco United can pretend not to have heard.

Squad24 Mar 2036

Tempers go at Bidco United

Sandile Ndlovu was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match22 Mar 2036

Whatever happens, Bidco United do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

The terraces24 Mar 2036

The crowd has taken to Anthony Kamau

At 18 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match22 Mar 2036

Izzadin Juma sends Bidco United past Kenya Police

It finished 1‑0, and it was Izzadin Juma’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Bidco United.

Player ratings24 Mar 2036

Izzadin Juma stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.61 on the card, and the Bidco United support went home talking about one name.

The dugout24 Mar 2036

Daniel Hoffmann has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Daniel Hoffmann on a 1‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

Market24 Mar 2036

Izzadin Juma runs his contract down

2 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Bidco United money.

Market24 Mar 2036

The Izzadin Juma talk will not go away

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

Squad4 Feb 2036

Caleb Omondi keeps Bidco United in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match2 Feb 2036

Nowhere to hide for Bidco United

0‑3 against Gor Mahia, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

The dugout4 Feb 2036

Timothy Mainge: 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.” Bidco United have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Boardroom4 Feb 2036

Deadline passes with 5 signed and 2 gone

That is the business done at Bidco United until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Match2 Feb 2036

4 matches without a win for Bidco United

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Bidco United are no longer polite ones.

Transfer targets4 Feb 2036

Bidco United bid $1.0K for Timothy Kahata

The offer went to Kenya Police 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.

Boardroom4 Feb 2036

5 academy graduates step up at Bidco United

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Squad4 Feb 2036

A row about effort at Bidco United

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

Market4 Feb 2036

Bidco United promote Samuel Muguna from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Samuel Muguna 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.
