Market8 Sep 2031

Dijon turn down AJ Auxerre for Konstantinos Angelakis

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

Market8 Sep 2031

Yanis Barka is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Dijon is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Boardroom8 Sep 2031

Yanis Barka has agreed to leave Dijon for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Deadline beats Dijon to Zakaria Ztouti

The clock did what FC Metz would not, and ended it. Supporters who watched the countdown will spend the next window doing it again.

Squad8 Sep 2031

Tempers go at Dijon

Luck Zogbé 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.

Squad8 Sep 2031

Jibril Bouzaiene is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad8 Sep 2031

Dijon lose Benoît Mathieu

23 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Match6 Sep 2031

A bad afternoon for Dijon against AC Ajaccio

0‑2 to AC Ajaccio, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad8 Sep 2031

Teddy Bouriaud 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.

Terms done: Ayman Sellouf is going

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

Zadig Lanssade says Dijon 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.

Transfer targets11 Aug 2031

Amine Harit turns down Dijon

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

Dijon baulk at the price for Zakaria Ztouti

FC Metz wanted more than $2.7M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Ayman Sellouf has agreed to leave Dijon for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad11 Aug 2031

The step up is real for Jibril Bouzaiene

At 23 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad11 Aug 2031

Dijon lose Benoît Mathieu

51 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad11 Aug 2031

Late improvement for Konstantinos Angelakis

At 24 the improving is meant to be over, and it is not: 4 points better than a year ago. It happens to the ones who take the boring parts seriously.
