From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

Gaëtan Poussin stands alone

11 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Market

Red Star turn down ES Setif for Islamdine Halifa

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

Squad

Gaëtan Poussin signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Gaëtan Poussin and Red Star agree another 4 years.

Squad

A falling-out at Red Star

Gaëtan Poussin and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets

Grasshopper tell Red Star: Nikolas Muci 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.

Match

SC Bastia take the points off Red Star

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market

USM Khenchela join the queue for Hacène Benali

Add another name to the list: USM Khenchela have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Hacène Benali. The answer from Red Star has not changed — yet.

Squad

A row about effort at Red Star

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

Market

49 months and counting on Leonardo Buta

Still no offer on the table, and Leonardo Buta’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

In brief
