Marked for Anthony Rouault

Market

Stade Rennais turn down Sochaux for Djaoui Cissé

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

Squad

Anthony Rouault signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Anthony Rouault commits to Stade Rennais for another 5 years.

Squad

Adrien Thomasson 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 Stade Rennais this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Chamois Niortais expected to open talks for Brendan Chardonnet

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Stade Rennais will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Squad

Miguel Reichmuth 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.

Market

The Brice Samba story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Brice Samba signs something — a contract at Stade Rennais or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

From our football correspondent Steady

Market

Quentin Merlin puts it in writing

“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 The request is on a desk at Stade Rennais, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Stade Rennais lose Guillermo Paiva

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

Player ratings

Quentin Merlin runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Tempers go at Stade Rennais

Lilian Brassier 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.

Match

Stade Rennais come up short against Dijon

Dijon left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Anthony Rouault

“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.

Boardroom

Doors closed at Stade Rennais

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

Squad

Arnaud Nordin is carrying Stade Rennais

3 goals and a season average of 7.34. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Player ratings

Marius Broholm leaves them behind him

Shots: 8. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.
