The Angers SCO Courier
Market21 Aug 2028
Terms done: Louis Mouton is going
Fee agreed, wages agreed, and AS Nancy waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Angers SCO is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.
Player ratings21 Aug 2028
Dro, 20, steals the show — 8.34
Marked 8.34 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.
The dugout21 Aug 2028
Jonathan Clauss keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Angers SCO may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.
Boardroom21 Aug 2028
Stéphane Gérard signs on for the long haul
Angers SCO moved before anybody else could: a new deal for Stéphane Gérard, agreed quietly and announced loudly. Boards extend managers for many reasons; the good one is the one this looks like.
Squad21 Aug 2028
Words exchanged at Angers SCO
Jordan Teze 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.
Squad21 Aug 2028
Sanah Camara is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.
Boardroom21 Aug 2028
6 academy graduates step up at Angers SCO
Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.
Transfer targets21 Aug 2028
Angers SCO rebuffed over Philippe Legrand
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Paris Saint-Germain have kept their man, and Angers SCO go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
The terraces21 Aug 2028
One of their own: Dro
He is 20 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.
