From our football correspondent Steady

The dugout7 Feb 2028

Geoffrey Kondogbia says Nimes went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Boardroom7 Feb 2028

Deadline passes with 10 signed and 9 gone

That is the business done at Nimes until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Squad7 Feb 2028

Morgan Sanson signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Morgan Sanson commits to Nimes for another 3 years.

Squad7 Feb 2028

Tempers go at Nimes

Geoffrey Kondogbia 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.

Squad7 Feb 2028

Luca Mailhol 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. Luca Mailhol has, at Nimes, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad7 Feb 2028

A row about effort at Nimes

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

Transfer targets7 Feb 2028

Door shut on Glen Kamara

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

Market7 Feb 2028

Nimes buy the years ahead of Mathis Ntessa

He is 19, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Market7 Feb 2028

Marc Paget told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Marc Paget has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Nimes.

The Stade Lavallois Courier

9 Aug 2027
From our football correspondent Steady

Squad9 Aug 2027

Yohan Tavares damages knee ligaments — 66 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 66 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.

Squad9 Aug 2027

70 days out for Julien Maggiotti after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Stade Lavallois will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad9 Aug 2027

The step up is real for Bahmed Deuff

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.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Tempers go at Stade Lavallois

Thibaut Vargas 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 targets9 Aug 2027

Door shut on Alessandro Vogliacco

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

Loan watch9 Aug 2027

Mathys Houdayer has seen enough of Le Havre AC

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Stade Lavallois, and 0 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.

The dugout9 Aug 2027

Ethan Clavreul gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market9 Aug 2027

The Thibaut Vargas talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Stade Lavallois know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout9 Aug 2027

Sidi Bane has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Stade Lavallois will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

In brief
