Mikael Silvestre and John Mensah both started their respective careers at the Breton side but the duo’s respective futures are in jeopardy as they are still free agents
In recent weeks, the crisis of not finding a suitable club has left many Ligue 1 players in limbo. However, this trend is also predominant outside the shores of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899. Wealthy English clubs, that recruited players went for a diet course by not offering
new contracts to few players who haven’t really done well in recent times. This is exactly what has happened with former Manchester United man Mikael Silvestre and Ghana international http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/John-Mensah-c18877.
The two players rose to fame during their time at Stade Rennais, did well in the Champions League and even represented their national sides. However, the status quo has changed for both men as since June 30, both of them are without a club.
Lacking rhythm, Mikael Silvestre and Mensah failed to convince the coaching staff of West Ham United with whom they were on trial. The Hammers manager, Sam Allardyce has chosen not to retain the services of the two vastly-experienced players as they have
not impressed him at all. It must be noted that last season was also a blank one for the duo.
35-year-old Silvestre had a difficult last season with German Bundesliga side Werder Bremen where he played just one game. The same goes for John Mensah who despite being just 29, has seen a hellish descent in recent years.
After doing ever so well for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 man’s reputation of being injured simply precedes him. The descent has been a painful one for the defender who if he manages to stay fit, is
one of the best centre-backs in Europe.
Now, both Silvestre and Mensah, despite their obvious experience and talent, are in a limbo and may even consider hanging their boots, unless a rich club from the Middle East does not come out of the blue to offer them a lifeline, which safe to say, the
two men really need.
