"Release the hounds!" - Lille OSC official thread [R]

Martin & Kalou are pretty solid replacements.

Has Debuchy left yet?

Not yet. They said he cant leave until they have found a replacement.

Hey whoever the replacement is, guarantee you he's not of French international caliber.

Maybe not yet, but he may be after a season with Lille.

'Lille is my priority' - Mendes tells Le Havre that he wants to leave

The 22-year old has made it clear to the Ciel et Marine president that he intends to depart in the current transfer window, and has revealed he would like to join les Dogues

Newcastle was in the race for a top 4 spot in the EPL where the top 4 spots have been pretty much set in stone before match 1 for every year in the last eons of years so that isn't exactly a small club. Just my 2 cents.

LOSC was mentioned as an after thought as a possible loan destination for Dzeko. Probably by some blogger who had trop de vin.

THAT WOULD BE A PREFECT LOAN TO LOSC new stadium /champs league / give some extra heat vs psg and others....

It would be a perfect situation if it weren't for the money Man City wants. They paid 37 million € for him and they want a huge amount for the loan (sorry I can't remember the number). I would think Milan would be the most interested. Dortmund was also mentioned but they don't need a striker.

Dzeko cant be true. They are looking for a winger, a cb, and rb if Debuchy leaves. I havent read anything that says they are looking at a striker.

Another silly rumor.

Saw Lille v PSG. Seems PSG is starting to find their form, could be trouble for the rest of the league.

Lille - I did enjoy watching Nolen Roux up top.

I enjoyed the game, felt that Lille gave up a bit of attacking adventure after they got exposed badly on Ibra's second.

He didnt do anything other than run around a lot.

I think he did more than that. My memory is he had a few shots on goal, created a couple of chances.
