Market

Carlos Guerreño 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 The request is on a desk at Stade Nyonnais, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings

Selim Telib scores twice — 8.12

Two goals and a mark of 8.12 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Boardroom

Stade Nyonnais told to sell

The instruction came from the boardroom and the dugout did not agree with it. Somebody will go, the fee will be called good business, and the manager will spend the season rebuilding around the space.

Match

A bad afternoon for Stade Nyonnais against Vaduz

2‑3 to Vaduz, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Words at Stade Nyonnais training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Léo Seydoux 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

Stade Nyonnais rebuffed over Tiemoko Ouattara

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Stade Nyonnais

Selim Telib 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.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Selim Telib

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad

Dominick Zator wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Stade Nyonnais know it.

Squad

Kamari Doyle damages knee ligaments — 34 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 34 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 targets

Stade Nyonnais agree $270.0K for Mamadou Koné

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Stade Nyonnais

Mattéo Titalom Penka 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.

Squad

Words at Stade Nyonnais training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Léo Seydoux 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

Servette tell Stade Nyonnais: Tiemoko Ouattara 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.

Squad

Stade Nyonnais are still strangers to each other

9 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Transfer targets

Stade Nyonnais ask about Samuel Marques

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

The dugout

When it matters, Léo Seydoux plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout

Selim Telib knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Stade Nyonnais, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

The knee: Kamari Doyle out for 41 days

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

Market

Thun come back empty-handed

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

Squad

A falling-out at Stade Nyonnais

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

Transfer targets

Door shut on Simon Okafor

Stade Nyonnais asked and Lausanne-Sport said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

Words at Stade Nyonnais training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jasper van der Werff 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.

Squad

Carlos Guerreño is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Carlos Guerreño has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Luca Marino is in the works

Stade Nyonnais have made the call to St. Gallen. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Boardroom

Intake day at the Stade Nyonnais academy

4 arrivals, an average age nobody would call a squad, and a set of parents being shown around a building their sons will spend more time in than at home. The scouting has already happened; today is only the paperwork.

The dugout

Selim Telib 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.

Market

Marcos Soares 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 Nyonnais can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Sekou Fofana

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Stade Nyonnais have done the hard part with Lausanne-Sport, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad

Léo Seydoux 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.

Transfer targets

Sion tell Stade Nyonnais: Fabián Franco 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Stade Nyonnais

Selim Telib 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.

Squad

Home is on Marcos Soares's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Stade Nyonnais are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Market

Stade Nyonnais and Selim Telib 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Ferre Van Herrewege

“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.

Market

The clock does Jasper van der Werff’s negotiating for him

2 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee Stade Nyonnais could ask drops and the wages Jasper van der Werff can ask rise.
