Marked for Luc Legrand

Squad7 Feb 2028

The knee: Luc Legrand out for 15 days

15 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Pau FC lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market7 Feb 2028

Terms done: Amine Akkal is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Le Puy Foot 43 waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Pau FC is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Player ratings7 Feb 2028

Djylian N'Guessan, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 7.85

A mark of 7.85 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Boardroom7 Feb 2028

Deadline passes with 3 signed and 7 gone

That is the business done at Pau FC until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Transfer targets7 Feb 2028

Raphael Veiga turns down Pau FC

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Palmeiras keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad7 Feb 2028

A row about effort at Pau FC

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Ylber Ramadani was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad7 Feb 2028

Home is on Yadaly Diaby's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Pau FC are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Boardroom7 Feb 2028

Pau FC beat the market to Djibril Diallo from Stade Rennais

Stade Rennais will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Djibril Diallo has pre-agreed a move to Pau FC, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Transfer targets7 Feb 2028

Palmeiras tell Pau FC: Raphael Veiga is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad31 Jan 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for Luc Legrand

22 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Pau FC lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Boardroom31 Jan 2028

Pressure builds in the Pau FC boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Market31 Jan 2028

Yadaly Diaby asks to leave Pau FC

“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.

Market31 Jan 2028

Augustin Delbecque agrees terms with Dijon

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Pau FC people have started saying his name in the past tense.

The dugout31 Jan 2028

Théo Epailly: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Pau FC have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad31 Jan 2028

Iyad Mohamed 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. Iyad Mohamed has, at Pau FC, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Transfer targets31 Jan 2028

The paperwork begins on Raphael Veiga

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Pau FC have done the hard part with Palmeiras, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Market31 Jan 2028

Norwich City come back empty-handed

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

Market31 Jan 2028

Iyad Mohamed comes home

The shirt still fits. Iyad Mohamed is back at Pau FC, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.
