Market14 Jun 2027

Antonin Bobichon has said yes to FC Fleury 91

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

Pau FC agree $1.6M for Enguerrand Bouard

The clubs have shaken hands with OGC Nice; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Market14 Jun 2027

Salif Lebouath 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 Pau FC can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets14 Jun 2027

No deal for Mohamed Abdelmonem at that price

Pau FC offered $2.7M; OGC Nice 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.

Maxence Soulet due for a Pau FC medical

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

Squad14 Jun 2027

Anthony Briançon 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 Pau FC this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad14 Jun 2027

The step up is real for Robin Verhaeghe

At 23 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.

Román Sequeira gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Román Sequeira has just signed for Pau FC, and for once the answer mattered.

Transfer targets14 Jun 2027

Door shut on Paul Bernardoni

Pau FC asked and Paris FC said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match10 Apr 2027

The wait goes on for Pau FC

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Player ratings12 Apr 2027

Alphadjo Cissé was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 27. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Match10 Apr 2027

The goals have deserted Pau FC

6 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Pau FC can tell you which week it ends in.

Squad12 Apr 2027

Words exchanged at Pau FC

Anthony Briançon 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.

Squad12 Apr 2027

Antonin Bobichon 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.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

No hiding place for Léo Botz

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

The dugout12 Apr 2027

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Julien Schmitt was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Pau FC dressing room was either.

Match10 Apr 2027

Pau FC and EA Guingamp cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. EA Guingamp came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

Betão left out for tactical reasons at Pau FC

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.
