Player ratings3 Jan 2028

Fabio Baldé was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 39. 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.

Market3 Jan 2028

Tom Renaud 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 FC Versailles can pretend not to have heard.

Squad3 Jan 2028

Tempers go at FC Versailles

Sinaly Diomandé 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.

Squad3 Jan 2028

A row about effort at FC Versailles

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Mohamed Rahim was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets3 Jan 2028

Door shut on Noah Raveyre

FC Versailles asked and Pau FC said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Loan watch3 Jan 2028

Romain Basque wants to come home

“I did not go to EA Guingamp to sit and watch. I want to come back to FC Versailles and fight for my place.” 5 appearances in 29 matches say the rest.

The dugout3 Jan 2028

Luca Sonzogni gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match1 Jan 2028

US Concarneau take the points off FC Versailles

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

The dugout3 Jan 2028

Luc André: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Nathan Yavorsky agrees terms with Sochaux

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around FC Versailles people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Transfer targets16 Aug 2027

Bradley Locko turns down FC Versailles

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

Squad16 Aug 2027

Lucas Bernadou 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 FC Versailles this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Door shut on Omar Sissoko

FC Versailles asked and Paris FC said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad16 Aug 2027

FC Versailles are still strangers to each other

8 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.

Transfer targets16 Aug 2027

FC Versailles ask about Claudio Morra

A loan enquiry to Vicenza: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Transfer targets16 Aug 2027

FC Versailles try to borrow Samir Chergui

Paris FC have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

The dugout16 Aug 2027

No hiding place for Tom Renaud

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

The knee: Johan Dorilas out for 20 days

20 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. FC Versailles lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Nathan Yavorsky 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 FC Versailles can pretend not to have heard.

Market2 Aug 2027

FC Versailles say no — this time

The offer from FC Fleury 91 for Alex Monde 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.

Squad2 Aug 2027

Cédric Odzoumo signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Cédric Odzoumo commits to FC Versailles for another 2 years.

Market2 Aug 2027

Only the photograph left for Ryan Tchapda

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Ryan Tchapda will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around FC Versailles the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Cédric Odzoumo 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 FC Versailles this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at FC Versailles training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Samir Ben Brahim 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.

Door shut on Thomas Henry

FC Versailles asked and Reggiana said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad26 Apr 2027

Johan Dorilas damages knee ligaments — 125 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 125 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.

Match24 Apr 2027

Whatever happens, FC Versailles do not lose

16 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Player ratings26 Apr 2027

Samir Ben Brahim runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 28. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout26 Apr 2027

Kurtis Chadet says FC Versailles 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.

Lucas Bernadou in a row with a teammate

The run at home goes on for FC Versailles

9 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Lucas Bernadou takes the honours

Marked 7.10 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, FC Versailles had the best player on the pitch.

The dugout26 Apr 2027

The view from the dugout

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Luc André chose the glass-half-full version of 0‑0; the supporters left with the other one.
