By: Magnusson | 6 Comments

If there has been one player who hasn’t said a word since the beginning of the seaosn it is Djibril Cissé. After having been left off Raymond Domenech’s France 23, Djibril went back “home” to his wife and told the Observer how much he missed his life in the U.K. and how much he wanted [...]

A few moments ago, our reader Alex left a comment saying taht he reads mexican newspaper El Norte every day and that the Monterey paper never published such a headline. Wich led me to try and verify how that could be, seen as this rumour was huge last week and that it was relayed by [...]

Tuesday, slow news day…

By: Magnusson | 7 Comments

A lot has happened in the last four days. Once Bakary Koné was signed from Nice, Pape Diouf told the press that the Mercato was over for us, unless some other players leave. This of course came as a surprise as many players were believed to still be on their way out, namely Karim Ziani, [...]

Hello Baky!

By: Magnusson | 5 Comments

The soap of the summer (incredibly short by other season’s standards) is finally over and done with. Bakary Koné and Nice came to an agreement this morning when the player decided to let them have part of the 630.000 Euros he was entitled to (7% of his tranfer, a clause similar to Ben Arfa’s) in [...]

Hatem Ben Arfa and Djibril Cissé already fighting…

By: Magnusson | 8 Comments

If asked which one of our players had the biggest ego, I’m pretty sure most people would answer either “Djibril Cissé” or “Hatem Ben Arfa“, or both. That might be true since the two have been.

President Maurice Cohen gave Pape Diouf and his Marseille counterparts an ultimatum stating that if Marseille didn’t give them what they were asking for on tuesday (that’s yesterday not next week), Bakary Koné would remain a Nice player for at least one more season.
Pape Diouf didn’t seem all that impressed with the declarations and believed [...]

The “Drogbathon” is in full effect…

By: Magnusson | 12 Comments

A group of incredibly commited supporters (led by the 24 year-old Mathieu Gomila aka “Kain34″) decided to see if the marseillais fans across the world could virtually pay Chelsea to bring back Didier Drogba to the Vélodrome and maybe make sure the Marseille staff and the superstar aware of their initiative.
The price set by the [...]
