Player ratings

A brace, and Frédéric Le Gall takes the afternoon — 8.46

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Frédéric Le Gall provided it, and the 8.46 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market

Dominique Henry 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 Tours can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Red Star 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Tours

Pedro Godoy 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.

Player ratings

Pedro Godoy runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Tours sell Julien Martin for $320.0K

Julien Martin has left for AC Ajaccio in a $320.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Match

Tours see off Valenciennes

Three points for Tours, 2‑1 the final word against Valenciennes in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Thibault Paris

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad

The month belongs to Frédéric Le Gall

The award is a small thing with a heavy meaning: for four weeks nobody in this division did his job better. Tours have the trophy on a shelf and the player in the side.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market

Tours turn down Cosenza for Jean-Baptiste Morel

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

Market

Christophe Laurent 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 Tours can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Words at Tours training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Karim Azamoum is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

Tours come up short against Clermont Foot

Clermont Foot left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

No hiding place for Mathis Hannedouche

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

Market

Eyes on Dominique Henry again

The phone has started ringing about Dominique Henry again, and this time the name on the line is AC Ajaccio. Tours are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

Diogo Ferreira 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 ratings

Nobody could get near Frédéric Le Gall

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Dijon expected to open talks for Rémi Carpentier

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Tours will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

In brief

  • Squad A Tours teenager takes the young player award
  • Player ratings Pedro Godoy ran the game
