Will Dos Santos be staying? He's probably been the biggest underachiever so far.

He was very close to Nancy or Sochaux but for the moment nothing happened. I think that now that Moreira is gone, he won't leave the club.

Toulouse : Sadran et ses objectifs (28/07)
Le président de Toulouse Olivier Sadran rappelle les objectifs du club en termes économiques. "Dans notre budget, on s’est positionnés tout comme l’année dernière à la onzième place. Cette place correspond à un équilibre budgétaire de ‘sécurité’, confie-t-il sur le site officiel. Le club était mort il y a cinq ans. On espère être rentrés dans un cycle de stabilité. Franchir les échelons à une vitesse faramineuse, ce n’est pas obligatoirement très bon non plus." Sadran n’en oublie pas pour autant les enjeux sportifs. "Il y a des objectifs de reconquête du jeu, d’enthousiasme au Stadium, être plus guerriers. Ce sont des choses que l’on peut se fixer, déclare le dirigeant toulousain. Après vous savez, le football revêt plus d’incertitudes que dans d’autres jeux, qui font que le ballon est dehors ou dedans pour pas grand-chose. Les conclusions ne sont plus les mêmes à quelques détails près." (Par Urbain Mandrillon)

Toulouse : un nouveau stade ? (28/07)
Lors de la conférence de presse d'avant-saison, l'ambitieux président du Toulouse FC Olivier Sadran a laissé entendre qu'un nouveau stade pourrait voir le jour dans la ville rose d'ici cinq ou six ans. "Je commence à considérer cette idée car le football est un sport en perpétuelle évolution. Or, si notre club veut suivre cette évolution et continuer à grandir, il faudra peut-être envisager de tels changements" a indiqué M. Sadran. L'actuel Stadium de Toulouse a une capacité de 37 000 places et 10 millions d'euros ont été investis dans sa modernisation depuis 2001. (Par Alexis Pereira)

Toulouse: a new stage? (28/07)
At the time of the press conference of before-season, the ambitious president of Toulouse FC Olivier Sadran made it clear that a new stage could be born in the pink city from here five or six years. "I start to consider this idea because football is a sport in perpetual evolution. Perhaps however, if our club wants to follow this evolution and to continue to grow, such changes will have to be considered "indicated Mr. Sadran. Current Stadium of Toulouse has a capacity of 37 000 places and 10 million euros were invested in its modernization since 2001.

Toulouse: Sadran and its objectives (28/07)
The president of Toulouse Olivier Sadran points out the objectives of the club in economic terms. "In our budget, one positioned just like last year in the eleventh place. This place corresponds to a balance in the budget of ' sécurité', entrusts it on the official site. The club had died five years ago. One hopes to have returned in a cycle of stability. To cross the levels at an amazing speed, it is not obligatorily very good either." Sadran does not forget any therefore the sporting stakes. "There are objectives of reconquest of the play, of enthusiasm to Stadium, being more warlike. These are things that one can set, the leader declares Toulouse. After you know, football revêt more uncertainties than in other plays, which make that the balloon is outside or inside for step large-thing. The conclusions are not any more the same ones more or less."

[toulousain]

The game against Marseille was lost 1 - 0.

And we start the season with two away games against Bordeaux and Lyon.:(
Very tough start.

Anyway, here is the 2006/07 Toulouse kit :

Both very very cool looking.

I wonder if Randy is going to paint his subby team this way ;)

[sl7vk]

That away kit is awefully..... pink.

[SportBoy333]

It should be pink since Toulouse is known as The Pink City.

[toulousain]

I had the honor to be at the Stade Chaban Delmas yesterday. Nothing to say in particular, the Bordelais were better physically and they deserved their 2-0 win.
Best Toulouse players were Emana and Bergougnoux who substituted Elmander.
Elmander and Fabinho, the two newbies, didn't show anything but let them play some games before having a point of view.

[toulousain]

Good start for les toulousains ! Since the first loss against Bordeaux, 2 wins and 1 draw.

Lyon - Toulouse : 1 - 1 :cool:
Toulouse - Nice : 1 - 0
Troyes - Toulouse : 1 - 2

The team seems to have found the good rythm.

[SportBoy333]

Whats going on with Barthez

[panicfc]

How is Elmander doing?

Who plays on the right mid now?

[SportBoy333]

Elmander hasnt scored yet. Fabinho is playing pretty well. I think Santos is still out injured.

[toulousain]

Whats going on with Barthez

Well,

Barthez wants to play one or years more. He would like to do it in Toulouse because his family lives in the region.

Baup is Barthez's friend and he wants to have him in the team. They worked together during Barthez's first (and only) professional season in Toulouse, Baup trained only the keepers at this time. It could be part of the reason why Revault didn't play, but it's just an hypothesis.

President Sadran said he didn't need a new goalkeeper, even after that Revault left the club. So now we Douchez (about 15 games in L1) as n°1 who is very good since the start I must say, and Benvegnu (no games in L1) as n°2.

I'm a little confused about all this. Revault wasn't deserving this, remember he accepted to stay when the club fell in National (3rd national level). Many changes can happen until the 31st of August, the end of the transferts period.

Toulouse: Emana prolongs (05/09)
The medium of ground of the TFC, Achille Emana, prolonged its two additional season old contract, announces the official site of the Toulouse club. The 24 year old Cameronian is from now on related to the pink city until 2010. Emanated had begun the Toulouse adventure in 2001 when the club evolved/moved in National. (By Nicolas Lagavardan)

[SportBoy333]

Toulouse are on the rise. They beat Lille 3-1 in Lille. Time to celebrate !

[toulousain]

4th of L1 !
Well, it's early in the season but this start is full of promise.
The new players, Elmander and Fabinho, played very well and we saw a big Emana on this game.
