Robin Thiland-Hérard due for a US Orleans medical

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

A row about effort at US Orleans

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

Olympique de Marseille tell US Orleans: CJ Egan-Riley 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.

Squad12 Jul 2027

Tempers go at US Orleans

Johann Obiang 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.

Squad12 Jul 2027

US Orleans count the cost of losing Nils Jacquet

31 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

The dugout12 Jul 2027

The manager makes an example of Alexandre Coeff

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market12 Jul 2027

The Alaa Bakir question follows US Orleans around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Alaa Bakir’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

The dugout12 Jul 2027

Grégory Berthier asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad12 Jul 2027

Ange Bailly is not doing himself any favours

A manager forgives a bad Saturday far more readily than a bad Tuesday, because one of them he can explain and the other one he chose. The reports this week have not been good.

Squad4 Jan 2027

A fracture rules Youness Aouladzian out for 21 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason US Orleans will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market4 Jan 2027

Ange Bailly 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 US Orleans can pretend not to have heard.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Tempers go at US Orleans

David Mokwa 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.

Transfer targets4 Jan 2027

Door shut on Patrik Gunnarsson

US Orleans asked and KV Kortrijk said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Words at US Orleans training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal 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.

Player ratings4 Jan 2027

David Mokwa runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match4 Jan 2027

Halfway: US Orleans sit in position 10

21 points at the turn. The first half of a season is a promise; the second is a bill, and the town is about to find out which of the two this one was.

Market4 Jan 2027

US Orleans and Alaa Bakir are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Transfer targets4 Jan 2027

A loan move for Keita Baldé is in the works

US Orleans have made the call to Lazio. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad5 Oct 2026

Fahd El Khoumisti breaks a bone — 78 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 78 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

David Mokwa beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 30. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Tempers go at US Orleans

Alaa Bakir 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.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Stefan Bajić has improved at 24, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Squad5 Oct 2026

A row about effort at US Orleans

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

Boardroom5 Oct 2026

Wages swallow 124% of the US Orleans income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Alaa Bakir takes the honours

Marked 7.29 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, US Orleans had the best player on the pitch.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

Rémy Richard on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Rémy Richard after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

No hiding place for Ange Bailly

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Ange Bailly, and the manager let it.
