Révolution Rouge et Noire - Stade Rennais Thread

[The Old Lady Hertha]

We shall see if he can win the Bundesliga golden boot next season. I dont think he will but he should be in the top 5 in goals scored by the end of the season.

Don't think so. He is still a Rennes player, so I wouldn't be so fast. Even if he does move to BvB, I still think he's just top 3 striker (Klose, Makaay are better).

It's official, Gourcuff has gone to Milan

Frei is still technically a Rennes player but they have already signed his replacement.

Dumbest move of the year. He will hardly get any playing time over there and he'll be back in France in less than 2 years.

Bruno Cheyrou is close to signing. I think its interesting than Rennes are willing to pay him and Bordeaux arent.

[Nanbawan]

I'm glad I let you the keys ! :D

I heard there were rumours at some time concerning Ghanaian Paintsil.

[SportBoy333]

Has John Menash been signed to a permanent deal yet ?

[AlexFrei]

Has John Menash been signed to a permanent deal yet ?
Yes. He signed for three years immediately after the season finished. :)

Dumbest move of the year. He will hardly get any playing time over there and he'll be back in France in less than 2 years.anyone remember n'gotty before he went to milan? he made a decent career after that, but he never got back those two years. he looks at pat vieira these days and sighs, that could have been me...

[SportBoy333]

Cheyrou ripped Bordeaux management on his way out the door. He is very unhappy with them on how things went down. He clearly wanted to stay but I guess he thought they didnt want to keep him.

[Allez Lyonnais]

Cheyrou would've had to ward off Micoud's challenge for the starting role anyways and I still think Ricardo is doing a decent job in the transfer market. He managed to keep Fernando on permanent basis and most importantly convinced Micoud to come back home. I'm telling you those were vital moments.

So, has Dr. Dre finally managed to turn the table around?

Rennes may play with Puma gear next year...Sponsorship, furnishing...No, Stade Rennais' owner François Pinault* is simply buying the brand !

In other news, Rennes are after - yet - another Swede.

It's official, I hate him !

[Catel]

I thought Rennes fans hate him since he's here... Because of Lucas and Turdo. :D

[Nanbawan]

Because of Lucas and Turdo. :D

Who ? :D

[Nanbawan]

Strange feeling : hard to rejoice over Nantes' woes while Rennes makes another last gasp attempt to reach the european places. Same as two years ago, the same question haunting us ; why such a bad start to the season ?

Sorry Nantes, from a general POV, Rennais have much more respect for the Canaries - given what they achieved - than the opposite but what can we do. Apparently the FCNA staff has been digging its own grave althrough the season...

Can anyone imagine Rennes claiming that third spot ?

Here is the final schedule :

Rennes - Bordeaux
Troyes - Rennes
Rennes - Lorient
Lille - Rennes

The game against Bordeaux will have vital important in that regard.
