Squad

Alex Diboto signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Alex Diboto commits to Victoria United for another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Victoria United

Bryan Nokoue 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.

Market

The ambition of Raphaël Anaba outgrows Victoria United early

Signings arrive with a picture of the club in their head, and this one’s picture was bigger than the building. He will play well and he will be gone, in that order, and everybody knows it.

Market

49 months and counting on Alex Diboto

Transfer targets

Victoria United try to borrow Donatien Tchami

Real Bamako 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.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Ahmadou Bello is in the works

Victoria United have made the call to Stade Malien. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Transfer targets

Victoria United try to borrow Paul Ombolo

Canon Yaounde 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.

Squad

5 new faces, and Victoria United are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

In brief
