Summer transfer tidings – a look into Evian TG, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127
With the summer transfer window starting to heat up in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899, bettor.com takes a look at the curious cases of newly-promoted Evian TG, seven-time Ligue 1 winners Olympique Lyonnais and Didier Deschamps’ Olympique de Marseille.
Evian-TG: A club in pursuit of experience
Last season it was Arles-Avignon and the season before that it was Grenoble. These two clubs won promotion but turned out to be the worst teams of the 2009/2010 (Grenoble) and 2010/2011 (Arles) campaigns.
Evian-TG won the Ligue 2 and thus won the right to play in France’s top football division. Hopefully the same fate does not befall Evian. The transfer window was started at a very slow pace by the Gaillard-based club. Reports now indicate that the club is
looking to get services of a few experienced players who can support an inexperienced, yet talented squad.
Former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sidney-Govou-c33474 are in the frame of playing for TG next season. French daily, L’Equipe reckons that the duo will be signing for the newly-promoted side soon which means that Evian will not be without experience when they
play their first Ligue 1 games ever.
Olympique Lyonnais: looking to fill in for expected departures
Jeremy Toulalan has already left Les Gones for La Liga side Malaga. Cesar Delgado also chose to walk away following the end of his contract. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ederson-c11880 in attracting a lot of interest from
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Miralem-Pjanic-c25984 is also getting frustrated at the lack of playing time so the Bosnian might also leave for either Serie A or the German Bundesliga.
If all these aforementioned players were to leave the club, president Jean-Michel Aulas will have his work cut short in order to bring in replacements. Though Lyon are not looking to break the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bank-c38601 this summer following a two-year spending spree in the summers
of 2009 and 2010, the club might be forced to spend a lot this summer again.
Lyon are reportedly looking to bring in Sochaux Montbéliard duo http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ryad-Boudebouz-c31970 to the Stade Gerland. A fee in the region of 25 million Euros is required in order to sign the highly-rated youngsters. Even though Les Lionceaux are not willing
to let go of either of the two, Lyon would do well to sign two of the best midfielder Ligue 1 has to offer.
Jaroslav Plasil is also linked with a move to Stade Gerland but the Czech international might not join Les Gones if the Sochaux duo is signed.
Olympique de Marseille: looking to cut down losses
Following the arrival of Vincent Labrune as the new president of the club, a lot of changes have already been witnessed. Les Phoceens are no more looking to pay astronomical wages for players. In order to tighten the finances, the club is looking to let
go of a few players by the end of this summer.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gonzalez-c15099 might also leave Stade Velodrome if Marseille’s valuation of the South American is met.
Andre-Pierre Gignac is another player who might be forced out of the club following a poor start to life at Marseille. The jury is still out on the player who was bought from Toulouse for a fee believed to be in the region of 18 million Euros.
However, the club is looking to bring in Nicolas N’Koulou form AS Monaco in a bid to strengthen their http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Defence-c38904. Bordeaux left-back Benoit Tremoulinas is also linked with a move to the Rhone club.
The summer transfer window would definitely be a long a tiresome one for all these three clubs. Evian will have to look for the best bargains available in the market while Lyonnais would be looking to sell before they can buy. Marseille on the other hand,
are looking to choose wisely from the market.
