Hendricks Cakin: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Tours have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Marcel Dupuis stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Marcel Dupuis and Tours agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Thomas Vannoye 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.

From our football correspondent Steady

Match10 Oct 2026

Still nobody has beaten Tours

The unbeaten run reaches 8. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Alexandre Barbier wants to come home

“I did not go to Ceuta to sit and watch. I want to come back to Tours and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 8 matches say the rest.

The manager makes an example of José Capon

“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.

Tours share the spoils with Sochaux

A 1-1 draw with Sochaux leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Stanis Idumbo is off the mark for Tours

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Tours bring in an old head

Clément Michel is 33 and has run out of things to prove. What he has left is where to stand, when to slow it down and what to say at half-time, and none of that is on a fitness chart.

Experience through the door at Tours

Babacar Diallo arrives at 37 with nothing left to prove and plenty left to pass on. Legs are a young man's currency; knowing where to stand never ages.
