Foot - Transferts - Odemwingie vers l'est ?

Malgré une saison quasiment blanche avec seulement cinq buts en L1 (aucun inscrit en Championnat depuis le 9 septembre), l'attaquant du LOSC Peter Odemwingie (25 ans) attire beaucoup deux clubs de l'Europe de l'est. En Ukraine, le Chakhtior Donetsk a récemment proposé 8 millions d'euros pour enrôler le Nigérian. Mais selon L'Equipe, le Spartak Moscou pourrait enchérir avec une offre de près de 11 millions d'euros. Mais Lille décidera-t-il de laisser partir un joueur important après les départs de Tavlaridis (Saint-Etienne), Keita et Bodmer (Lyon). Pas sûr...

Odemwingie is interested in Naples:

Lille : Naples sur Odemwingie ?
Ignazio GENUARDI - mardi 19 juin 2007 - 17h06

L'attaquant nigérian, Peter Odemwingie (Lille), intéresserait Naples.



A en croire certains médias italiens, Naples songerait à Peter Odemwingie (Lille). En quête d'un attaquant supplémentaire, les Transalpins se seraient récemment renseignés sur les conditions de l'international nigérian. Les Napolitains sont intéressés mais ils ne devraient pas être en mesure de soutenir la comparaison du Spartak Moscou et du Shakhtar Donetsk. Le LOSC espère récupérer plus de dix millions d'un éventuel transfert.

Par ailleurs, les Lillois suivet toujours Mohamed Tchité (Anderlecht). André-Pierre Gignac (Lorient) est une autre alternative.

47 millions
20 06 2007, 10:25
47 millions d'Euros, c'est le budget du LOSC (L1) pour la saison. C'est ce qu'a indiqué sur RMC Michel Seydoux qui sortait juste d'une réunion du Conseil d'Administration du LOSC qui a avalisé ce budget.
Rappelons que ce budget s'élevait à 36 millions la saison dernière et qu'il ne comprend pas la balance des transferts.

The LOSC fansite allezlesdogues.com has an interesting article about transfer rumors concerning the club. According to the fansite, Mathieu Chalmé may leave Lille to join Rennes,Bolton, or even Bordeaux. They also say that Daniel Gygax’s future may not remain at Lille. During the 06/07 season, the striker was loaned to Lille from FC Metz. Another rumor is that several players may come to LOSC by the end of the transfer period. They believe that Metz’s Sébastien Bassong (defender) and Babacar Gueye (striker) will come to Lille. Supposely, the newly promoted club Caen will also transfer two players to LOSC, Yohan Gouffran (striker) and Jérémy Sorbon (defender). It is also believed that Lorient’s André-Pierre Gignac (striker) will be transferred to Lille for 5 million euros.

Gygax was sent on loan from Lille to Metz.

Gygax was sent on loan from Lille to Metz.

Yeah, your right my mistake.I got it reversed.I will fix it.

[SportBoy333]

I'm a big Gygax fan. I hope to follow his progress again this season either at Metz or Lille.

[Allez Lyonnais]

Gygax will be signing a three-year contract with Metz.

http://www.football365.fr/depeches/filinfo_171935_34_Metz-Gygax-devrait-signer.shtml

He was a talented midfielder although his breakthrough never came at Lille. One thing I'll remember is his winning goal against AEK in the Champions League. He gave Lille a special European night..

Great news for the Grenats that they were able to reach an agreement with Lille, Gygax scored an amazing goal against Chateauroux, the second one on this clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1okGcXedQsM&NR=1 great to see it live and also when they clinched the Ligue 2 championship

Lille : Chalmé bloqué
Rédaction Football365 - vendredi 22 juin 2007 - 19h47

Matthieu Chalmé ne sait toujours pas de quoi sera fait son avenir. Plusieurs clubs français, dont Marseille et Paris, se sont renseignés mais le LOSC se montre gourmand pour lâcher son arrière droit.

Avec la signature de Franck Béria (24 ans, Metz), Lille se retrouve avec trois arrières droits de métier dans son effectif. Les Nordistes pourraient laisser filer Matthieu Chalmé (26 ans) ou Stéphane Lichtsteiner (23 ans) pour ménager les susceptibilités. Le premier nourrit toujours des envies d'ailleurs mais la direction lilloise ne fait rien pour lui faciliter la tâche. « Il ne me reste plus qu'une année de contrat mais Lille demande une indemnité de transfert trop importante pour de nombreuses équipes, explique Matthieu Chalmé. Pour l'instant, la situation est bloquée. Je m'apprête à reprendre l'entraînement avec le LOSC. » Paris, Lens et Marseille sont toujours sur le coup mais les offres concrètes se font toujours attendre. « Ca ne reste que des prises de renseignements. Ce sont des clubs intéressants mais je ne suis pas maître de mon destin. Je ne le prends pas mal mais je n'ai pas simplement le choix. Il y a également des pistes à l'étranger mais je garde une préférence pour la France. On verra. Je commence à avoir l'habitude. C'était pareil la saison passée. »

Another transfer rumor has emerged with the club. Supposely, Steaua Bucarest striker, Nicolas Dica, is another striker that has interested LOSC. A Lille OSC fansite, allezlesdogues.com, has reported that the Romanian striker is being followed by LOSC, and their rival RC Lens. Dica quotes: “Lille et Lens, c’est également dans l’air. J’irai là où l’on me désire le plus” (Lille and Lens are evenly in the air. I will go where I am wanted more). The fansite also said that it is more likely that Dica will move to Lille since Gignac is expected to go to Toulouse. Nicolas Dica (Nicolae Dică in Romanian) has also played for Dacia Piteşti, and FC Arges Pitesti. He has at least 17 caps for the Romanian National Team.

Lille land Yanes (http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=473673&CPID=24&clid=429&lid=11&title=Lille+land+Yanes&channel=&)


The Columbian Luis Yanes has finally completed his move to Lille.

The forward has admitted it has been a long wait for the transfer from Columbian outfit Independiente Santa Fe, but he is delighted to have the opportunity to play in the UEFA Champions League.

Lille manager Claude Puel has been chasing Yanes for some time and both parties are now happy to have the secured move.

"I have been waiting a long time for this chance because I knew that they had been following me for some time," said Yanes.

"French football is fast and very powerful.

"I have been asking things about my new team and I already know that they have reached the Champions League for the first time."

Yanes has also revealed he has been in contact with fellow Columbian Freddy Guarin, who currently plays for St Etienne, to get an understanding of life in France.

"I have spoken with Freddy and he told me that the French league is for me because they play very fast," said Yanes.

"He also told me that Lille is one of the best teams in France.

"My idea is to start to learn to speak French so I can adapt quickly and give the best of me to my team-mates and the club."

Toulouse claims that they have signed André-Pierre Gignac. Toulouse’s chairman, Olivier Sadran is now confirming that Gignac has signed a four year contract with Toulouse. “It is a settled case. Our administrative director was in Lorient on Monday. Lorient signed the last papers. Gignac has signed a four-year contract. We have followed the rules” (Sadran). Lille already said they struck a deal with Gignac with a deal around 4.5 million €. “I am sure of one thing, we had an agreement both with the player and FC Lorient” (Michel Seydoux, LOSC chairman). Sky Sports says that the Gignac transfer will be investigated by the juridicial committee of Ligue 1. According to Seydoux, Lille has experienced transfer disputes like this in the past with Abidal and Tavlaridis. This is an interesting transfer battle between Toulouse and Lille. I am not sure how legitimate Toulouse’s deal with Gignac is. We will just have to see how it turns out.

[AfrcnHrbMan]

I think the new kit looks slick. As for all the additions I don't know how they will turn as they are unknowns to me. Hopefully it works out.

[SportBoy333]

I've never seen Gignac play so I dont know if he's worth all this trouble but I somehow doubt it. He seems to be more suited for Lille rather than a club thats playing Champions league football.

[Douai]

Lille will benefit from the Abidal transfer:

Le transfert d'Abidal à Barcelone va générer une belle recette pour le LOSC. En effet, quand Eric a été transferé à Lyon , une clause précisait le versement de 50% de la plus-value sur un nouveau transfert.
C'est ainsi pas loin de 3 millions d'euros que le LOSC devrait récupérer.

Lille’s hunt for Nicolae Dică is over. Supposely, he is about to join the club’s rival, RC Lens, for 7 million euros:

DICA c'est fini!

Niculae Dica est sur le point de rejoindre le RC Lens après une proposition de ce dernier de 7 Millions d'euros. Il semble que l'International roumain, suivi par Lens et le LOSC depuis un certain temps, soit lensois dans quelques jours voire quelques heures. L'ASSE qui était également intéressé par le joueur, n'a proposé que 2,5 millions d'euros.
