Transfer targets

Amiens SC bid $4.8M for Denis Bouanga

The offer went to Los Angeles Football Club this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Transfer targets

Amiens SC rebuffed over Yoann Cathline

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Utrecht have kept their man, and Amiens SC go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Ibou Sané at 21 — 7.74

One of our own: Michel Royer joins the Amiens SC first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Michel Royer is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

In brief
