Player ratings

Both of them Moïse Sahi Dion's — 9.14

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.14, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Aron Dønnum

FC Annecy asked and Toulouse 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.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Travis Patterson at 20 — 7.77

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Travis Patterson did not need any: 7.77, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Transfer targets

An offer of $240.0K for Dan Sinaté

FC Annecy have gone to Angers SCO with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Market

OH Leuven watching Quentin Paris

The interest is real enough to have reached print. FC Annecy have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

The terraces

One of their own: Travis Patterson

He is 20 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match

FC Annecy find a way past Rodez AF

Rodez AF made FC Annecy work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Market

Antoine Rousseau steps up from the FC Annecy academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Antoine Rousseau 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.

FC Annecy promote Laurent Roche from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Laurent Roche 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.

In brief
