Simon Ebonog says Rodez AF 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.

Rodez AF say no — this time
The offer from Canon Yaounde for Wilitty Younoussa 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.

Álex Millán turns down Rodez AF
The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Leganés keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Nobody could get near Nathan Ngoumou
Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Rodez AF rebuffed over Leonardo Spinazzola
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Napoli have kept their man, and Rodez AF go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

No hiding place for Wilitty Younoussa
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Wilitty Younoussa, and the manager let it.
