Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Stéphane Bekolo

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Victoria United have done the hard part with Canon Yaounde, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad

Words exchanged at Victoria United

Bryan Nokoue and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets

Victoria United rebuffed over Joshua Baba

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Bendel Insurance have kept their man, and Victoria United go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

Oko Onyedika 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.

Squad

Benard Mundi needs a bigger stage

He is doing things every Saturday that nobody around him can answer. It is flattering for a season and a problem after that, and Victoria United know which stage they are at.

Transfer targets

Victoria United try to borrow Adama Traoré

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

Donatien Tchami is a medical away from Victoria United

The deal with Real Bamako 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.

Squad

Jason Moulle signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jason Moulle commits to Victoria United for another 3 years.

Squad

Bryan Nokoue 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 Victoria United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Herve Aboubakar steps up from the Victoria United academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Herve Aboubakar has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

Victoria United promote Andre Etame from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Andre Etame 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.

Market

One of our own: Boris Anguissa joins the Victoria United first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Boris Anguissa is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

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.

Squad

Aminou Bouba has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Victoria United know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Market

49 months and counting on Alex Diboto

Still no offer on the table, and Alex Diboto’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

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.
