Squad

The knee: Stéphane Laurent out for 130 days

130 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Tours lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market

Olivier Adam is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Tours is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Raymond Henry 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.

Squad

Antoine Le Goff stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Antoine Le Goff and Tours agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Juan Carlos Paz wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Tours know it.

The dugout

Théodore Rey 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.

Market

Tours turn down Paradou for Édouard Dupuy

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Tours

Yves Deschamps 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.

Squad

Guillaume Aubry 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.

The dugout

Olivier Adam 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Tours against Dijon

0‑1 to Dijon, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings

Édouard Dupuy was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 17. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The dugout

Emmanuel Dubois answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Transfer targets

Tours ask about Luck Zogbé

A loan enquiry to Stade Brestois: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Transfer targets

Tours try to borrow Joan Tincres

Le Havre AC have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.
