Ibisevic signed by PSG

[Bosanac]

Ibisevic a signé

COMME PRÉVU, l'attaquant bosniaque Vedad Ibisevic, 19 ans, a transformé son essai par la signature d'un contrat de trois ans au PSG. Le PSG a déjà reçu la lettre de sortie de la Fédération américaine et l'a transmise à la Ligue pour que l'ex-joueur de l'université de Saint-Louis (Missouri, Etats-Unis) puisse jouer ce soir. Pedro Pauleta devrait donc rester dans les tribunes.
Sa préparation n'est pas terminée mais Halilhodzic le reconnaît : « Il n'a pas tout perdu en quinze jours. Il ne redémarre pas de zéro. » Paris n'engagera désormais un nouvel attaquant que « pour un coup exceptionnel ». Le néo-pro Franck DjaDjedje a, lui, bien été prêté à Brest (L 2).

Can someone translate the whole thing? I get the main point, but I dont understand everything. I get he signed, the papers were transffered over, and that the signing means he can play and Pauleta can sit out..what else?

[SportBoy333]

Pauleta's not sitting out for this guy.

Ibisevic Vedad has signed 3 year contract at PSG, with an option for one more year. :D
Just got this info from a french(PSG) friend of mine. :cool:
Wish him a good luck at PSG.

What you understood sums up the first paragraph.
The second is "his preparation (Ibisevic's) isn't complete, Halilhodzic
admits to this and says "he hasn't lost everything in 2 weeks,
he isn't starting from scratch". The PSG is done hiring strikers,
"unless something exceptional comes up". The neo-pro Franck
DjaDjedje has been lent to Brest (second division)".

And, on an unrelated/side note: there are a lot of Bosnians in
my area of town, right here on my street. I know a lot of them,
including my best "buddy", Senad, who's from Sarajevo.
We jokingly call our street "little Bosnia" ;)
All this to say: I know what they went through and this kid's
story brings a BIG smile on my face. So, here's wishing him
good luck, becoming a great player and maybe being able to
help Bosnia's national team.

From today's L'Equipe:

"Foot - Transferts : Ibisevic dans l'expectative

Vedad Ibisevic n'a obtenu qu'une licence provisoire de six mois au Paris-SG de la part de la commission paritaire exceptionnelle. Cette décision fait suite au trop-plein de joueurs extra-communautaires du club parisien.

En effet, le PSG pourrait compter cinq joueurs hors communauté (Yepes, Reinaldo, Boskovic, Ibisevic et Cesar) si Paulo Cesar effectuait son retour de prêt des Corinthians début 2005. La délivrance de cette licence provisoire au jeune Croate laisse donc six mois à Paris pour résoudre ce problème."

Basically, Ibisevic was only given a 6 months temporary license
to play with PSG. If Paulo Cesar were to return from Corinthians
(Brazil) early 2005, PSG would have one too many non-EU players.
(Cesar is on a loan at Corinthians).
PSG has 6 months to solve this problem.
(I have to believe they already know the answer...If they signed him,
this is already planned).

Just to understand:

A license to play in France and a contract are two different things? So they signed him to 3yrs...but that license situation needs to be solved??

I agree with you, if they signed him to three years, they will work that out or already have an idea what to do anyways.

Well, the club signs contracts, the commission is a national
one which will approve these contracts and give licenses.
That's my understanding of it.
In this case, the commission would be taking the "cautious"
decision of giving a temporary license and wait to see how
PSG will handle this problem (one too many non-EU player if
Cesar were to return from his loan early 2005)
Cesar could maybe stay on loan or he could return and then maybe another
player would be lent, etc. There are many possibilities, I don't know
what PSG's management has planned.

[Bosanac]

Thanks...that makes sense. I'm sure they have something planned, or they would have not signed him to a 3yr contract! (as you mention as well)

[fishbiproduct]

One little detail: I actually do not know wether this commission is a national
one, or EU, or UEFA?. I am assuming "national" because, as far as I
know, different countries have different rules when it comes to
this matter.Ultimately, it doesn't make a difference (just wanted
to point this out) and PSG knows these rules better than I do ;)

paying attention to the game live through this link http://sports.fr/fr/football/directs/2005/tropheechampions/comment/8215.html?psg

Yesterday I heard Ibisevic would start, then it changed that he would be on the bench..and officially I saw his name on the PSG site as one of the 17 players to play/sit on the bench for the game..now his name has dissapeared of the bench on that live game link...hmmmm

[fishbiproduct]

I missed the beginning of this game, but he isn't on the bench according to this PBP either:

Bosanac, if you understand French: I am following this game through

broadcast.

now his name has dissapeared of the bench on that live game link...hmmmm

They had his name during the first-half and it was replaced by
Pauleta's later on. Maybe they had started with the info. as well.

[Bosanac]

Lyon is leading 1-0. Pauleta has entered the game.

[Bosanac]

1-1!

[Bosanac]

Lyon win the Super Cup 7-6 on penalties.

Congrats to them!
