Squad15 May 2028

58 days out for Gaëtan Perrin after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. LOSC Lille will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

The dugout15 May 2028

Bruno Leclerc says LOSC Lille 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.

Squad15 May 2028

A falling-out at LOSC Lille

Hákon Arnar Haraldsson and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad15 May 2028

Remember the name: Jérôme Barbier

He is 21, he is averaging 7.06, and older professionals have started passing to him in the difficult minutes. That last part is the real scouting report.

Squad15 May 2028

Nathan Ngoy 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.

The dugout15 May 2028

The manager makes an example of Eliezer Mayenda

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout15 May 2028

Hákon Arnar Haraldsson 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 Hákon Arnar Haraldsson is on it.

Market15 May 2028

The Hákon Arnar Haraldsson story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Hákon Arnar Haraldsson signs something — a contract at LOSC Lille or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Loan watch15 May 2028

6 goals on loan for Shina Ayodele

29 appearances at USM Khenchela and the goals keep coming. LOSC Lille are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

Squad27 Mar 2028

Alexsandro Ribeiro in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at LOSC Lille this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad27 Mar 2028

Home is on Ilan Kebbal'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; LOSC Lille are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad27 Mar 2028

LOSC Lille are still strangers to each other

7 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout27 Mar 2028

No hiding place for Mohamed Bayo

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Mohamed Bayo, and the manager let it.

The dugout27 Mar 2028

Jérôme Barbier 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 Jérôme Barbier is on it.

Market27 Mar 2028

Alexsandro Ribeiro linked with a move away

The name of Alexsandro Ribeiro keeps appearing in other people's back pages. LOSC Lille say nothing, which says plenty.

Looking ahead27 Mar 2028

Jeffrey de Lange goes back to face Olympique de Marseille

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Jeffrey de Lange’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and LOSC Lille needing him to play as if none of it matters.

Loan watch27 Mar 2028

Shina Ayodele keeps scoring at USM Khenchela

26 appearances away from home and 6 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

Loan watch27 Mar 2028

Başar Önal first choice at FC Lorient

24 starts and a season average of 6.71. The loan is doing exactly what it was arranged to do.

Terms done: Nabil Bentaleb is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and AC Ajaccio waiting with a shirt. Nobody at LOSC Lille is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Player ratings23 Aug 2027

Félix Correia was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 32. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Eliezer Mayenda says LOSC Lille went back on their word

Squad23 Aug 2027

Words exchanged at LOSC Lille

Jérôme Barbier 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.

Boardroom23 Aug 2027

Graduation day at LOSC Lille

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Transfer targets23 Aug 2027

Paris Saint-Germain tell LOSC Lille: Philipp Köhn 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.

One of our own: Jacques Poirier joins the LOSC Lille first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Jacques Poirier is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

One of our own: David Le Gall joins the LOSC Lille first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. David Le Gall is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market23 Aug 2027

LOSC Lille promote Bruno Leclerc from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Bruno Leclerc 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.
