Bonjour, qu'est-ce que vous avez fait pendant les vacances?

Monday saw the squad back in training after the summer break, with our burgeoning French contingent swelled by Mehdi Abeid, whose arrival from Lens on a free transfer was finally confirmed by the club on Friday, weeks after the player himself announced the deal. Good to know that our new recruits will all (hopefully) have a full pre-season - as will Hatem Ben Arfa and Dan Gosling.
