The Toulouse FC Courier
Squad23 Aug 2027
A one-man rearguard from Guillaume Restes
There were 10 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.
Match21 Aug 2027
Toulouse FC get the job done against Chamois Niortais
A 2-0 win over Chamois Niortais, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
Boardroom23 Aug 2027
A promise the Toulouse FC board did not keep
There was a commitment, there was a date, and the date went past. Trust at a football club takes years to build and one afternoon to spend.
Market23 Aug 2027
Toulouse FC sign Frédéric Simon, one for the future
Frédéric Simon is 15, and Toulouse FC have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

The terraces23 Aug 2027
Everybody has an opinion about Guillaume Restes
He is the name in every column and on every phone-in, which is a heavy thing to carry at any age. Some footballers thrive on it; others are quietly finished by it.
Squad23 Aug 2027
Jacen Russell-Rowe is off the mark for Toulouse FC
The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.
In brief
- Squad Gaëtan Bakhouche knocks on the manager's door
- Squad Santiago Hidalgo wants a proper job in this side
