Market28 May 2029

Babacar Leye 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 Lavallois can pretend not to have heard.

Squad28 May 2029

Words exchanged at Stade Lavallois

Denzel 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.

Squad28 May 2029

A row about effort at Stade Lavallois

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

The dugout28 May 2029

No hiding place for Jules Meyer

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

The dugout28 May 2029

Denzel 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 Lavallois, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout28 May 2029

Mamadou Samassa gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Mamadou Samassa is on it.

Market28 May 2029

The Ethan Clavreul 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.

Squad28 May 2029

Mathis Renault has had enough of the bench

“I did not come here to warm up in front of people.” He is out of contract eventually, he is old enough to count the weeks, and Stade Lavallois will have to give him a reason to stay or an exit.

The dugout28 May 2029

The manager makes Issiaka Karamoko a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Stade Lavallois. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Market5 Feb 2029

Ethan Clavreul asks to leave Stade Lavallois

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Boardroom5 Feb 2029

Deadline passes with 7 signed and 2 gone

That is the business done at Stade Lavallois 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.

Match3 Feb 2029

No end in sight to Stade Lavallois's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Stade Lavallois has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad5 Feb 2029

Tempers go at Stade Lavallois

Marvin Elimbi 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.

Match3 Feb 2029

Stade Lavallois come up short against Red Star

Red Star left with the points after a 2‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad5 Feb 2029

Julien Maggiotti 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 targets5 Feb 2029

Door shut on Thomas Callens

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

Player ratings5 Feb 2029

Lasso Coulibaly in the eights

A performance of 8.20 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad5 Feb 2029

A month that belonged to Quentin Ndjantou

The young player of the month award goes to a 21-year-old at Stade Lavallois who has looked like the finished article for four weekends running. The next four are the ones that decide whether he is.
