Market3 Jul 2028

Sinaly Diomandé puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at AJ Auxerre, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market3 Jul 2028

Naouirou Ahamada turns Eupen down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Market3 Jul 2028

Enzo Bardeli wants more than AJ Auxerre are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Boardroom3 Jul 2028

AJ Auxerre to lose Théo Mary for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Théo Mary has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad3 Jul 2028

Words exchanged at AJ Auxerre

Mamadou Coulibaly and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets3 Jul 2028

Door shut on Ignatius Ganago

AJ Auxerre asked and FC Nantes said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market3 Jul 2028

A long bet from AJ Auxerre on Zinedine Hasni

He is 20, and nobody at AJ Auxerre signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Boardroom3 Jul 2028

7 new boys at the AJ Auxerre academy

Signed today, seen by nobody for years, and one of them may one day be the reason the club exists. That is the whole of the argument for an academy, and it is a good one.

Donovan Léon gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Donovan Léon is on it.

Squad6 Mar 2028

Words exchanged at AJ Auxerre

Axel Tuanzebe and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout6 Mar 2028

Anatole Abang 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.

Match4 Mar 2028

Laurs Skjellerup sends AJ Auxerre past Le Mans FC

It finished 1‑0, and it was Laurs Skjellerup’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to AJ Auxerre.

Squad6 Mar 2028

Theo Bair 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.

Player ratings6 Mar 2028

The afternoon belonged to Laurs Skjellerup

A mark of 7.71, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

The dugout6 Mar 2028

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Bruno Lopez, on a 1‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

The dugout6 Mar 2028

Axel Tuanzebe gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Axel Tuanzebe is on it.

Player ratings6 Mar 2028

Aristide Zossou beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 14. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout6 Mar 2028

AJ Auxerre pick somebody else ahead of Marvin Senaya

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.
