Any news rumors transfers that you want to discuss. Lets start with Nice getting a new manager, with a familiar old face....

Let the recycling of managers begin for a Greener 05-06!

Looks like this one is a done deal..... Bad news for Rennes as Sorlin is going to Monaco.
Monaco : Sorlin (Rennes) a signé quatre ans (http://fr.sports.yahoo.com/050523/47/7g8g.html)

Kalou and Utaka are rumoured to be going everywhere right now.
Kalou going to PSG, Marseille, Lyon or England, and Utaka rumoured to go to Monaco, Rennes or even Liverpool.

Here's a hunch... Kalou ends up in Marseille. With Utaka actually staying in Lens for one more year.

Auxuree will want to cash out with Kalou after the year he had. 10 million Euro's?

Yeah but whens the last time Guy Roux sold a good player to another French team. Cisse, Mexes, Fadiga, Kapo, Boumsoung, all sold abroad.

Trezeguet staying in Turin
Lyon : Trezeguet ne viendra pas ! (http://fr.sports.yahoo.com/050525/35/7h47.html)
Can't say that I'm dissapointed. Juve wanted way too much for him. 20 million Euro's? Come on....

Mansare signs for Toulouse, and Ribery might be coming back to France....

Monaco really has a propensity to sign major club rejects and make the most of it don't they. Gerard is a very good signing in my opinion.

Transfert - Monaco engage Gerard, de Barcelone, pour quatre ans (http://fr.sports.yahoo.com/050601/1/7lwn.html)

PSG look to be pursuing Dhorasoo... His good play for the national team has to be turning some heads, and I'm sure that he isn't interested in rotting on the AC Milan bench much longer.

Transfert - Paris SG: Dhorasoo "serait le bienvenu", selon Fournier (http://fr.sports.yahoo.com/050601/1/7lx8.html)

man, Dhorasso coming to PSG would be the greatest thing since the invention of the wire to cut butter ...

now you are talking and we can start dreaming !

I think every French team does that. I mean Dhorasso is a Milan reject and PSG want him.

Well, I think it is a little different.... Vikash is french and played in league 1 for 10 odd years, so coming back is natural. Lately Monaco have gotten League 1 "virgins" if you will. Saviola, Morientes, Gerard, Bernardi, etc... They've also gone to Serie A, with Flavio Roma, Kallon, and Chevanton. They just seem to have a large international web compared to the other League 1 clubs.

the acceleration and imagination he has shown for france have always been his trademark. the consistency he has shown in blue is something he never really had at OL.

he's never been considered a great addition to the locker room atmosphere.

as for riding the bench at milan, i think his playing time this season was exactly what he expected. he started 8 league matches, and played in over 20 matches all told.

Maybe Sylvain Monsoreau will hange to Werder Bremen. The manager of werder observed the match between Ajaccio and Sochaux last weekend. According to rumors he got shown the association area of werder bremen. He woulöd cost approximately 4 million Euros. What do you think about it? Does he play more as a central defender or as a left? Which strengths does he have?

I personally can't speak to Monsoreau's strength's, being that I've only seen him play once.... but Bremen seem to be pretty adept at scouting League 1 (and after their Euro tie with Lyon, maybe more League one players would suit them :) ). Here's the article you referenced in French...Transfert: Brême s'intéresse à Monsoreau, de Sochaux (http://fr.sports.yahoo.com/050602/1/7m7f.html)
The guy seems to have a similar profile to Ismael, only younger.... Could be a good pick up for you, and I certainly think he's better than Frings who's also referenced in the article as a possible replacement for Ismael.

Lyon backup goalkeeper Nicolas Puydebois has signed a 3 year deal with Strasbourg.

@sl7vk
You have misunderstood something.If Frings comes, he will not be successor of Ismael, he's a midfield-allrounder but he can't play as defender.
Concerning Monsoreau: What do you think, is he more a central defender or a left?

[panicfc]

What about Dalmat? Where will that punk end up?

Being that the kid is 1m86, and 80 kilos.... I think his natural position is central defense. He can and has played on the left, but that seems to be more stop gap than long term.
And props for making it over to the French transfer board, and having some input. Welcome to BigSoccer....

Here's a hunch... With Utaka actually staying in Lens for one more year.


Utaka will either be sold or his contract renegotiated with an extension. Next season is the last year of his contract so if Lens want to make something from him they'll have to sell him this year or he'll be off on a free next year. Of course, they could keep him, not extend him and hope there are mercato offers next January but that would be terribly risky.

Maybe it would be easier to identify every team he's screwed over, and just look at the handful of clubs left after that.... ;)
