Some spontaneously broken gauge theories with left couplings to fermions, like the abelian model that we propose here, can be endowed with a composite scalar sector and Wess-Zumino field ; their quantization in the functionnal integral formalism accordingly requires the introduction of constraints that, together with the breaking of the gauge symmetry by the scalars, and among other consequences, give the Higgs field and the fermions (quarks) infinite masses; this makes them unobservable. Gauge invariance and unitarity are achieved through a derivative coupling of the W-Z field to the fermionic current; the anomaly gets cancelled in the above infinite fermion mass limit. We show how the problems of renormalizability are evaded at the one-loop level by resumming diagrams at the ladder approximation and reshuffling the perturbative series, and because the fermionic current is conserved. The Wess-Zumino field can be "gauged away" to become the 3rd polarization of the massive gauge field; the pseudoscalar partner of the Higgs, tightly linked to the W-Z field, behaves like an abelian pion. In particular, no extra scale of interaction has to be introduced, unlike in "technicolour" theories. Problems concerning the leptonic sector are only mentionned.
