From our football correspondent Uneasy

The dugout

Lamine Sy says AJ Auxerre went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Transfer targets

$1.8M settles it between the clubs for Ilann Garin

Sochaux have accepted the money. What AJ Auxerre do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Market

Peter Ouaneh asks to leave AJ Auxerre

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Transfer targets

AJ Auxerre rebuffed over Nordan Mukiele

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

Market

Peter Ouaneh is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at AJ Auxerre is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Andrés Vombergar 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 AJ Auxerre this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Bobby Yahouedeou arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Bobby Yahouedeou has, at AJ Auxerre, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad

Words at AJ Auxerre training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Sinaly Diomandé 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.

Transfer targets

AJ Auxerre try to borrow Ilyas Azizi

Valenciennes have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

In brief
