Market10 Aug 2026

RC Strasbourg 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.

Marcel Henry stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Marcel Henry and Tours agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Hervé Lopez in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Tours this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Marcel Henry scores twice — 8.69

Two goals and a mark of 8.69 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Tours turn down Albacete for Louis Marchand

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Nobody could get near Nicolas Guillaume

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Joseph Fournier stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Joseph Fournier and Tours agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Tempers go at Tours

Hervé Lopez 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.

Match1 Aug 2026

Tours see off Dijon

Three points for Tours, 3‑2 the final word against Dijon in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Nicolas Guillaume 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.

Tours supporters have found a favourite in Richard Leroux

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Richard Leroux has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad3 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Joseph Fournier

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