The Tours Chronicle

6 Sep 2027
From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market6 Sep 2027

FC Nantes come back empty-handed

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

Market6 Sep 2027

The AJ Auxerre deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Michel Barbier reports back to Tours with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Squad6 Sep 2027

Philippe Renaud: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Tours have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market6 Sep 2027

Emmanuel Leclerc has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Tours they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Match4 Sep 2027

Tours make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Tours have 3 straight wins of it.

Market6 Sep 2027

Frédéric Robert wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Tours hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Loan watch6 Sep 2027

Gabriel Brunet has seen enough of Clermont Foot

“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 Tours, and 0 appearances in 7 say he has earned the hearing.

Match4 Sep 2027

Tours get the job done against AS Nancy

A 1-0 win over AS Nancy, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad6 Sep 2027

Ashkan Alijani 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.

Match28 Aug 2027

14 unbeaten for Tours

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 14 matches without defeat is a foundation Tours did not have in the autumn.

Squad30 Aug 2027

A one-man rearguard from Frédéric Robert

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Michel Barbier: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Tours have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

FC Lorient come back empty-handed

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

Alejandro Arrieta has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Tours they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Match28 Aug 2027

Tours see off Stade Lavallois

Three points for Tours, 3-1 the final word against Stade Lavallois in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad30 Aug 2027

Philippe Lefebvre 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.

Market30 Aug 2027

A long bet from Tours on Edouard Thibault

He is 18, and nobody at Tours signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Market30 Aug 2027

Alexis Busin told to find a new club

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