Squad14 Sep 2026

The knee: John Patrick out for 16 days

16 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Stade de Reims lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match12 Sep 2026

Stade de Reims run riot against Clermont Foot

5‑1, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

A brace, and Mohamed Daramy takes the afternoon — 8.88

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Mohamed Daramy provided it, and the 8.88 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Jordan scores twice — 8.81

Two goals and a mark of 8.81 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market14 Sep 2026

Not going: Patrick Zabi stays at Stade de Reims

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” FC Fleury 91 had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Match12 Sep 2026

Stade de Reims cannot stop winning

3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Transfer targets14 Sep 2026

Door shut on Tom Ducrocq

Stade de Reims asked and SC Bastia said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Stade de Reims

Antoine Leautey 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.

Match12 Sep 2026

6 goals as Stade de Reims and Clermont Foot go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Stade de Reims and Clermont Foot, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Squad7 Sep 2026

John Patrick damages knee ligaments — 24 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 24 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

AS Saint-Etienne tell Stade de Reims: Irvin Cardona 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.

Market7 Sep 2026

John Patrick 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 Stade de Reims can pretend not to have heard.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Stade de Reims close the window on a squad of their own making

18 in and 35 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Market7 Sep 2026

Ismaël Bennacer raises the bar for Stade de Reims

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Stade de Reims heard it as anything else.

Squad7 Sep 2026

A falling-out at Stade de Reims

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

Squad7 Sep 2026

A row about effort at Stade de Reims

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

Squad7 Sep 2026

A place in the month's best eleven for Antoine Leautey

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Antoine Leautey has come out of that comparison in the side, and Stade de Reims have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

Market7 Sep 2026

Nobody at Stade de Reims has picked up the phone to Uroš Radaković

11 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for John Patrick

31 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Stade de Reims lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

A brace, and Mohamed Daramy takes the afternoon — 8.53

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Mohamed Daramy provided it, and the 8.53 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market31 Aug 2026

Mory Gbané 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 Stade de Reims, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Antoine Leautey

Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market31 Aug 2026

Stade de Reims turn down Cittadella for Ewen Jaouen

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Match29 Aug 2026

Stade de Reims see off AS Nancy

Three points for Stade de Reims, 3‑2 the final word against AS Nancy in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Stade de Reims

Abdülkerim Bardakcı 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 targets31 Aug 2026

Door shut on Allan Tchaptchet

Stade de Reims asked and Grenoble Foot 38 said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Words at Stade de Reims training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gaëtan Coucke 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.

Squad24 Aug 2026

John Patrick damages knee ligaments — 40 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 40 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Both of them Jordan's — 9.20

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.20, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad24 Aug 2026

8 saves: Gaëtan Coucke was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 8 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Market24 Aug 2026

Stade de Reims sell Keito Nakamura for $13.4M

Keito Nakamura has left for Deportivo La Coruña in a $13.4M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Too dear: Stade de Reims walk away from Denis Bouanga

$8.0M was the most the club would pay and Los Angeles Football Club were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

The terraces24 Aug 2026

Stade de Reims sell a favourite for $13.4M

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Keito Nakamura was one of the reasons people came, and $13.4M does not replace that by itself.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Stade de Reims

Ismaël Bennacer 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.

Match22 Aug 2026

Jordan the difference as Stade de Reims beat Stade Lavallois

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Jordan. 4‑3 against Stade Lavallois, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Match22 Aug 2026

Jordan among the goals in a wild afternoon

7 goals in one match, Jordan on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Stade de Reims and Stade Lavallois.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for John Patrick

47 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Stade de Reims lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Odsonne Édouard is a medical away from Stade de Reims

The deal with RC Lens 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.

Market17 Aug 2026

Keito Nakamura has said yes to Deportivo La Coruña

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

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

An offer of $8.0M for Denis Bouanga

Stade de Reims have gone to Los Angeles Football Club 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 targets17 Aug 2026

Young Boys tell Stade de Reims: Marvin Keller 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.

Market17 Aug 2026

Stade de Reims spend $1.8M to raise the standard

This is not cover and nobody is pretending it is. $1.8M has been paid because Gaëtan Coucke is straightforwardly better than what was already here, and the club has decided to stop waiting.

Market17 Aug 2026

Stade de Reims turn down Alavés for Mohamed Daramy

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Stade de Reims go back to the board over Odsonne Édouard

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $17.8M — a club that wants Odsonne Édouard enough to be asked twice.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Stade de Reims

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