57 points, and the rest of the division looking up. Every side that finishes first spends the season pretending it is not thinking about it, and this one has started pretending.

A brace, and Yassir Zabiri takes the afternoon — 9.02
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Yassir Zabiri provided it, and the 9.02 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.
“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at FC Nantes hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.
3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at FC Nantes this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
$1.2M on the table at AS Saint-Etienne. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.
Amine Gouiri 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.
It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Bosun Lawal wants continental football; whether FC Nantes can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. US Boulogne have kept their man, and FC Nantes go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. FC Nantes will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.
SC Bastia go through and FC Nantes go home, 1‑2 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.
1 on the scoresheet on his first appearance and a mark of 7.29 beside it. Most debuts are got through; this one was enjoyed, by him and by everybody watching it.
At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.87 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.
“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at FC Nantes hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason FC Nantes will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Tiago Santos 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.
“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 dugout30 Oct 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.” Hervé Hubert, on a 2‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.
Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.
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.
9 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.
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.
“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.
It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Yassir Zabiri signs something — a contract at FC Nantes or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.
The deal that would have taken Mathieu Cafaro to Monaco has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to FC Nantes with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.
“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 FC Nantes, and it is not being withdrawn.
Tiago Santos 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.
“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 FC Nantes, and 2 appearances in 13 say he has earned the hearing.
He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Dijon in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.
The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around FC Nantes people have started saying his name in the past tense.
He arrived for a fee and leaves for a fraction of it. $487.8K of what FC Nantes paid for Tom Ducrocq is money the club will not see again, and the boardroom will be asked about it for two seasons.
The clubs have shaken hands with Monaco; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.
“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 FC Nantes, and it is not being withdrawn.
Boardroom4 Sep 2028
FC Nantes close the window on a squad of their own making
32 in and 46 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.
The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: RC Strasbourg keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.
Amine Gouiri 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.
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Warren Zaïre-Emery has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” SC Aubagne Air Bel had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.
Fee agreed, wages agreed, and NK Varazdin waiting with a shirt. Nobody at FC Nantes is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.
OGC Nice paid $8.5M and FC Nantes took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.
The offer went to AS Saint-Etienne 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.
Warren Zaïre-Emery 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.
There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Idrissa Camara is living that version at FC Nantes, and it tends to show in the first month.
“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Ibrahima Sissoko had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.
“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 FC Nantes, and it is not being withdrawn.
Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Alverca is saying, and nobody at FC Nantes is enjoying the guessing.
FC Nantes asked and Pescara said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” FC Villefranche had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. FC Nantes have lost him in all but the paperwork.
The offer from Monaco for Anthony Martial 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.
Mathys Detourbet 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.
10 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.
FC Nantes had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Olympique de Marseille, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.
There comes a point where a club either backs its own ambition or admits it does not have any. FC Nantes have paid $28.9M for Yassir Zabiri, which is the loudest way there is of saying which one it chose.
“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 FC Nantes, and it is not being withdrawn.
FC Nantes offered $6.8M; Paris FC said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.
The phone has started ringing about Mathieu Cafaro again, and this time the name on the line is FC Villefranche. FC Nantes are listening politely and promising nothing.
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. ESTAC Troyes have kept their man, and FC Nantes go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
$2.1M on the table at OGC Nice. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.
“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at FC Nantes hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Willian Pacho was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. FC Nantes have lost him in all but the paperwork.
“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” FC Villefranche had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.
The name of Willian Pacho has come up in conversations FC Nantes were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at FC Nantes this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 15 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

Lucas Perrin 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.
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at FC Nantes, and both men came out saying it was fine.
There were 88 minutes on the clock and AS Nancy had all but banked the point. Football rarely reads the room, and FC Nantes did not stop to explain themselves.
Warren Zaïre-Emery and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Willian Pacho 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.
13 clean sheets from 31 appearances at Le Mans FC. That is the whole of a goalkeeper’s job done properly, and it is being done a long way from the club that owns him.
Marked 8.09 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. FC Nantes told Dehmaine Tabibou something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.
The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around FC Nantes people have started saying his name in the past tense.
It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Fabián wants continental football; whether FC Nantes can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.
Paul Pogba 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 academy exists for exactly this morning. Marc Hubert 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.
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Emmanuel Blanc has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
“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.
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Mathis Holo is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.
Squad28 Feb 2028
Willian Pacho 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.
12 shut-outs in 28 games. A goalkeeper’s loan is judged on the afternoons when nothing happened at all, and Alexis Mirbach has been having a lot of them.
“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Hervé Hubert after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.
The words a physio says slowly. 36 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.
“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.
The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around FC Nantes people have started saying his name in the past tense.
1 for Fabián, marked 7.73, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.
Boardroom7 Feb 2028
Deadline passes with 11 signed and 8 gone
That is the business done at FC Nantes 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.
Warren Zaïre-Emery 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.

Transfer targetsNo deal for Clinton Mata at that price
The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Torino keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 28 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.
FC Nantes and Olympique Lyonnais have settled on $5.6M. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.
$6.5M on the table at AS Saint-Etienne. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.
Olympique Lyonnais wanted more than $6.5M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around FC Nantes they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

38 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. FC Nantes lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.
Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Ibrahima Sissoko scored, was marked 7.68, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.
A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.93 for the rest of it.
The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

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.
A 3‑2 win over Stade Lavallois, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 90 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.
Position 2, 29 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.
“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 FC Nantes, and it is not being withdrawn.
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Kelvin Amian will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around FC Nantes the goodbyes have quietly begun.
Paul Pogba 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.
8 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.
Successful dribbles: 18. 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.
“I watch every FC Nantes game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at FC Villefranche runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

7.90, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.
He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. FC Nantes will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Francis Coquelin 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.
“I watch every FC Nantes game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at FC Villefranche runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.
28 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. FC Nantes lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
4 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at FC Nantes this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Willian Pacho was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
“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 FC Nantes, and 3 appearances in 13 say he has earned the hearing.
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 10 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.
“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 FC Nantes, and it is not being withdrawn.
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” FC Nantes have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
He won it back and then made something of it, which is two jobs and the reason the scoreline looks the way it does. 12 combined actions and a mark of 7.07, and not one of them will make a highlights package.
He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.
It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what FC Nantes can pretend not to have heard.
FC Nantes ran out of time with Málaga. The paperwork was open when the deadline passed, and a transfer that was almost done is now a transfer that never happened.
