[*= The Ben Arfiles is the name I'm gonna give all the articles on Hatem Ben Arfa until his situation is sorted out. The name is courtesy of his tunisian cousin Rami.]
Mute ever since the “Hatem Ben Arfa Affair” started, Claude Puel was the first to fire this sunday morning in L’Equipe. The newly appointed [...]

These were supposed to come out in two weeks just in time for the UEFA to decide wether or not they will allow us to have our crest on the new uniforms. It seems very unlikely since UEFA are dumb enough to refuse Nancy the right to wear “Say No To Racism” on their jerseys [...]
Breaking News: Ben Arfa transfer annuled…

I think this is the first time I’ve been litterally been shocked by a “Communiqué”. At around 11.25pm tonight, my RSS Feed went insane once again wih headlines that the official Olympique Lyonnais website just released some pretty incredible news.
I’m shocked and I’m just going to give it to you raw:
“L’Olympique Lyonnais informs that the [...]

If you’re anything like me, you want to know what’s holding up the Ben Arfa transfer and more importantly why a club so eager to get rid of a player wants HIM to agree to a deal with THEM. Lyon gave an ultimatum so succint on thursday that it intigued most people. It finally turns [...]

You have to give credit to Jean-Michel Aulas, he never disappoints. Never. While everyone agreed that the Hatem Ben Arfa transfer was super easy and smooth (not top mention cheap since it turns out Ben Arfa was sold at around 12 million), Nothing had been said on Lyon’s side. Now at around midnight last night, [...]

So wednesday was the official start of the season and every player was at the Commanderie except for the internationals who were still recovering from their World Cup Qualifiers (Modeste M’Bami, Amine Erbati, Karim Ziani and Taye Taiwo) or on vacation because of the Euro (Steve Mandanda and Samir Nasri). All the players on loan [...]

As any other team in the world, Marseille has brand new uniforms for this season and they are changing a bit from last season’s. First of all, NEUF Télécom will no longer be the main sponsor as Robert Louis-Dreyfus’s other company will take over.
Created in 2003, DIRECT ENERGIE is an alternative electricity provider in [...]

This is the biggest surprise of this mercato yet! Just a few days ago I assumed Hatem Ben Arfa wouldn’t be a Marseille player until July 31st (if he ever were to become one) since Jean-Michel Aulas suddenly asked for more money this weekend (he went from 15 to 17 out of the blue) as [...]
Samir Nasri signed with Arsenal, or maybe he hasn’t…
By: Magnusson | No Comments
So this afternoon around 4 pm on my RSS feed comes the offcial announcement from Samir Nasri’s official website:
“We inform you that Samir Nasri will not be an Olympique de Marseille player next season. We would also like to tell you that he has signed a four-year contract with the London club, Arsenal,”
So Samir Nasri’s [...]

I’ve been talking about the “BAK27” project for a while now and never took time to eplain it. It’s pretty easy BA as in Ben Arfa, K as in Koné and 27 as in 27 million euros. This is the financial montage that will help us land these two players without having to do anything [...]
