Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Bakaye Dibassy

35 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. RC Strasbourg lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

RC Strasbourg sign Eduardo Quaresma for $32.4M

The paperwork is done: Eduardo Quaresma joins from Sporting CP in a deal worth $32.4M. Now comes the harder part.

Market

Thomas Guérin is a RC Strasbourg player

The fee is $15.1M, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Chamois Niortais drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Market

Terms done: Deivid Washington is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Red Star waiting with a shirt. Nobody at RC Strasbourg is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Transfer targets

Sochaux tell RC Strasbourg: Boubacar Fofana 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.

The dugout

Deivid Washington says RC Strasbourg 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.

Squad

Tempers go at RC Strasbourg

Hamza Igamane 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

The step up is real for Demba Sy

At 18 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.

Market

Sebastian Nanasi wants more than RC Strasbourg are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

In brief
