Squad

Roger Prévost damages knee ligaments — 20 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 20 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

The dugout

Simon Meunier keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Paris Saint-Germain may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market

João Neves’s move to LOSC Lille falls through

The deal that would have taken João Neves to LOSC Lille has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Paris Saint-Germain with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Market

Nuno Mendes wants more than Paris Saint-Germain 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.

Squad

A move Wilfried Gnonto would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Wilfried Gnonto is living that version at Paris Saint-Germain, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

A falling-out at Paris Saint-Germain

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

Squad

Words at Paris Saint-Germain training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Hákon Arnar Haraldsson is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market

AS Nancy are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Paris Saint-Germain will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Loan watch

Renato Marin has seen enough of OGC Nice

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Paris Saint-Germain, and 0 appearances in 9 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

The knee: Roger Prévost out for 29 days

29 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Paris Saint-Germain lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market

Maghnes Akliouche asks to leave Paris Saint-Germain

“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.

Player ratings

Both of them Vitinha's — 8.36

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.36, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market

Vitinha wants more than Paris Saint-Germain 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.

The dugout

Ewen Lamothe says Paris Saint-Germain 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.

Boardroom

Deadline passes with 24 signed and 30 gone

That is the business done at Paris Saint-Germain 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 targets

Wilfried Gnonto due for a Paris Saint-Germain medical

Everything agreed with another club, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad

A move Stéphane Renault would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Stéphane Renault is living that version at Paris Saint-Germain, and it tends to show in the first month.

Market

LOSC Lille are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Paris Saint-Germain will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Squad

Roger Prévost damages knee ligaments — 38 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 38 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

The dugout

Demba Seck: 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.” Paris Saint-Germain have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

LOSC Lille watching João Neves

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Paris Saint-Germain have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Market

Bourg-Peronnas come back empty-handed

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

Player ratings

Demba Seck runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Théodore Gaillard 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. Théodore Gaillard has, at Paris Saint-Germain, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Transfer targets

Paris Saint-Germain rebuffed over Samu Aghehowa

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Monaco have kept their man, and Paris Saint-Germain go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match

LOSC Lille take the points off Paris Saint-Germain

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

Boardroom

Doors closed at Paris Saint-Germain

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.
