Vittorino Hilton, It’s done!
By: Magnusson |An avalanche of good news seems to be balancing out the few bad ones we’ve had these days. After Samir Nasri’s now certain departure (it seems to be a salary problem between the player and Arsenal at this point), we are trying to get rid of all the dead weight (no offense to those concerned) [...]
Aït Ben Idir has been approached…
By: Magnusson |YAY, this is the best news I’ve had all week. Even better than Mandanda making the 23. Sidebar, I would have gladly offered my left nut to be there when Domenech was announcing it to Cissé and Landreau, two players he has a father-son relationship with.
Anyway, to get back to the topic, I’ve told everyone [...]
MERCATO: Day 1
By: Magnusson |Wilson Oruma and Juan Angel Krupoviesa are not going to play for Marseille ever again. The nigerian international is supposedly one of the pririties of Grenoble for next season. His argentinian colleague will retun to Boca Junior, not convinving enough.
Modeste M’bami wants to leave after two years at Marseille. Despite being one of the main [...]
Zidane: “Nasri should stay”…
By: Magnusson |As the special guest of Luis Fernandez’s show on RMC, Zinédine Zidane was of course asked about his opinion on a bunch of stuff on thursday. Obviously, as the icon of french football, hi advice is seekd by a lot of these players and Luis Fernandez couldn’t help but ask him if he advised Samir [...]
What do you mean Samir’s not gone yet?
By: Magnusson |While we were already mourning Samir Nasri’s memory at Marseille, his agent, Jean-Pierre Bernès, has come out pretty vehemently this afternoon to make sure everyone heard that Samir Nasri was still a Marseille player and had not decided anything yet. Bernès, who used to be Bernard Tapie’s right hand man in the darkest hours of [...]
Samir Nasri is a Gunner…
By: Magnusson |While we were sleeping, Marseille lost its “best talent”. A mere three days after sealing a qualification for next season’s Champions League, Samir Nasri decided to go on and sign with Arsenal. We all know how Arsène Wenger and Gilles Grimandi have been sniffing around our training grounds ever since they sneakily stole Mathieu Flamini [...]
Akalé, Oruma and Krupoviesa are gone…
By: Magnusson |In an attempt to make sure the squad is made of “great players” who can handle the pressure, Eric gerets decided to let go of players who have not been entirely staisfactory this season.
Wilson Oruma has not been playing for the last two seasons and despite a lot of offers last year, he decided instead [...]
Marseille in the Champions League, Samir Nasri leaves…
By: Magnusson |Thank God Micka Pagis doesn’t hold a grudge. The Rnnes striker who still is very popular with Marseille fans is going to be even more popular. Saturday at 8, Marseille was fourth and Nancy had their future in their own hands. To be completely truthful, I didn’t believe one second Nancy would let anything by [...]
Three Marseillais in Raymond Domenech’s 30…
By: Magnusson |Three of our players made the cut in Raymond Domenech’s list of 30 (That’s the first surprise, not 29, 30). Samir Nasri, Djibril Cissé and Steve Mandanda will be at Clairefontaine for at least the next two weeks and on May 28th, we’ll know if they’ll be in Switzerland and Austria this summer. A lot [...]
It’s already next season…
By: Magnusson |Marseille has decided to do something that I believe has never been done before and what a great idea this is. For the last game of the season that will be played tomorrow at the Vélodrome against Strasbourg, and that could have critical consequences on next year, the marketing teams at Adidas and Marseille have [...]
