Market

$180.0K — a new record at Fortuna Mfou

No footballer has ever cost this club more, and the number will be read out every time he misplaces a pass for the next two years.

Squad

The knee: Alex Mani Onguene out for 39 days

39 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Fortuna Mfou lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market

Franck Bekono 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 The request is on a desk at Fortuna Mfou, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on David Ntsama

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Fortuna Mfou have done the hard part with Aigle Royal de Moungo, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad

The step up is real for Marc Tsala Ndi

At 21 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad

Paschal Durugbor 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 Fortuna Mfou this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

An offer of $38.0K for Sanda Oumarou

Fortuna Mfou have gone to Dynamo Douala with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Transfer targets

No deal for Franck Talla at that price

Fortuna Mfou offered $29.0K; Dynamo Douala said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

The terraces

Fortuna Mfou spend $180.0K on the signing the town wanted

It is the rarest sequence in football: supporters ask for something, and the club goes and does it. $180.0K for Kadad Ning Che, and for one week nobody is complaining about anything.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Alex Mani Onguene

46 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Fortuna Mfou lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

Gislain Abianda 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 Fortuna Mfou, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets

Kadad Ning Che due for a Fortuna Mfou medical

Everything agreed with PWD Bamenda, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Market

AS PSI come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Fortuna Mfou did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

A falling-out at Fortuna Mfou

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

Transfer targets

Fortuna Mfou make their move for Franck Talla

$26.0K on the table at Dynamo Douala. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Alex Mani Onguene

53 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Fortuna Mfou lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Transfer targets

Fortuna Mfou make their move for Kadad Ning Che

$170.0K on the table at PWD Bamenda. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad

Words exchanged at Fortuna Mfou

Paschal Durugbor 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

Door shut on Edward Maova

Fortuna Mfou asked and Golden Arrows said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

Carlitos Djapa attracts admirers

The name of Carlitos Djapa has come up in conversations Fortuna Mfou were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

Paschal Durugbor 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 Fortuna Mfou know which stage they are at.

Squad

Zaharaddeen Bello is a square peg at Fortuna Mfou

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Transfer targets

Fortuna Mfou ask about Jordy Doumbe Youmba

A loan enquiry to Gazelle Garoua: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Market

Gislain Abianda placed on the list

Fortuna Mfou have made Gislain Abianda available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Squad

Zaharaddeen Bello arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Zaharaddeen Bello has, at Fortuna Mfou, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad

Paschal Durugbor 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 Fortuna Mfou this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Zaharaddeen Bello stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Zaharaddeen Bello and Fortuna Mfou agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Words at Fortuna Mfou training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Aminou Bouba 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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Banou Cissé

Fortuna Mfou asked and Real Bamako said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

One of our own: Achille Embolo joins the Fortuna Mfou first team

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

Squad

Aliou Souleyman Hendji signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Aliou Souleyman Hendji and Fortuna Mfou agree another 4 years.

Squad

Nurudeen Araromi 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 Fortuna Mfou this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Stade Malien tell Fortuna Mfou: Solomane Coulibaly 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.

Market

Nurudeen Araromi already looking beyond Fortuna Mfou

He signed expecting a bigger stage than the one he found. It has not taken long, and it has not taken the dressing room long to notice either.

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. Fortuna Mfou know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Market

The clock runs on Aliou Souleyman Hendji's contract

49 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.
