Market

Ludovic Ajorque puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Stade Brestois, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

RC Lens come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Stade Brestois did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Boardroom

Stade Brestois close the window on a squad of their own making

4 in and 10 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Maxi Oyedele

Stade Brestois asked and RC Strasbourg said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

Tempers go at Stade Brestois

Gautier Lloris 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.

Squad

8 new faces, and Stade Brestois are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Squad

Patrick Gauthier signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Patrick Gauthier commits to Stade Brestois for another 3 years.

Squad

A step back for Gautier Lloris at Stade Brestois

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

Looking ahead

Stade Brestois take on the side everybody is chasing

Angers SCO arrive as leaders. A side at the top is beaten roughly once a month, and the club that does it gets a week it remembers for a year.

Market

Stade Brestois sell Luck Zogbé for $4.6M

Luck Zogbé has left for LOSC Lille in a $4.6M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Market

Stade Brestois say no — this time

The offer from USM Alger for Léo Botz was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Transfer targets

Pape Cabral due for a Stade Brestois medical

Everything agreed with Monaco, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Stade Brestois

2 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Squad

Words exchanged at Stade Brestois

Lucas Tousart 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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Diego Coppola

Stade Brestois asked and Paris FC said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

Stade Brestois promote Christophe Laine from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Christophe Laine has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Patrick Gauthier steps up from the Stade Brestois academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Patrick Gauthier has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Squad

Stade Brestois count the cost of losing Angelo Bico

29 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

In brief
