Market

Ibrahim Cissoko asks to leave Toulouse 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.

Market

Toulouse FC get their man

The chase for Elysée Logbo ended with $3.1M changing hands and Le Havre AC out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Market

Toulouse FC turn down Sambenedettese for Julián Vignolo

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Toulouse FC may not be able to give Charlie Cresswell what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Charlie Cresswell wants continental football; whether Toulouse FC can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad

Charlie Cresswell signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Charlie Cresswell commits to Toulouse FC for another 5 years.

Squad

Real improvement from Patrick Maillard at Toulouse FC

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Patrick Maillard is 16, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Player ratings

A chastening introduction for Patrick Maillard — 5.75

It is a hard way to meet a crowd. Marked 5.75 on the day he was handed the shirt, and the important thing now is what the next one looks like.

Squad

Guillaume Restes signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Guillaume Restes and Toulouse FC agree another 5 years.

Squad

Dejan Joveljić falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Tempers go at Toulouse FC

Rasmus Nicolaisen was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Mário Sauer gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

RC Lens take the points off Toulouse FC

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Loan watch

Seny Koumbassa wants to come home

“I did not go to Stade Brestois to sit and watch. I want to come back to Toulouse FC and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 6 matches say the rest.

The terraces

The spotlight tightens on Dejan Joveljić

Every touch is being weighed now, in print and everywhere else. Some players grow into that and some are quietly ruined by it, and nobody knows which in advance.

Player ratings

Off the pace: Santiago Hidalgo

A mark of 5.57 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.
