Squad

4 goals for Pierre Lees-Melou

The match ball belongs to Pierre Lees-Melou, whose 4 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Match

Pierre Lees-Melou leads the rout of Olympique de Marseille

4‑1, and Pierre Lees-Melou took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Paris FC tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Market

Paris FC get their man

The chase for Leonardo Campana ended with $15.4M changing hands and New England Revolution out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Squad

Kevin Trapp keeps Paris FC in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

Paris FC say no — this time

The offer from Frosinone for Luca Koleosho was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Lamine Guèye moves on

Sochaux pay $7.3M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Player ratings

Pierre Lees-Melou, 33, rolls back the years — 8.30

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.30 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Market

Julien Lopez hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Paris FC can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets

Paris FC baulk at the price for Marius Courcoul

Angers SCO wanted more than $1.7M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Transfer targets

RC Lens tell Paris FC: Odsonne Édouard 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.

Market

Paris FC sell Ilan Kebbal for $8.1M

Ilan Kebbal has left for FC Nantes in a $8.1M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Transfer targets

Paris FC bid $1.7M for Marius Courcoul

The offer went to Angers SCO this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Market

Paris FC turn down Charleroi for Obed Nkambadio

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

Market

Moses Simon wants more than Paris FC 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

Moses Simon signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Moses Simon and Paris FC agree another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Paris FC

Kevin Trapp 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.

Market

Eyes on Lamine Guèye again

The phone has started ringing about Lamine Guèye again, and this time the name on the line is Stade Rennais. Paris FC are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

No place for Alvinho in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Paris FC are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.
