Not heard anything on the Marseille front and that would really surprise me. They had a good CL run, but that only termporarily covered a disastrous domestic season. They're not going to be in Europe next year, it would be a sideways step if ever I saw one.

that would be bad as we would get small compo.

I very much doubt we'd see a penny of that compo invested on players unless we are under different ownership by then. A move abroad would suit me better than watching him shine each week on Match of the Day.

Sideways step from Championship to a team that's likely to atleast challenge for a Champions League spot..

I'd be very surprised if Marseille challenge for the Champions League spots next year. Their finances are not great and already you can be certain that two of the French spots will once again go to PSG and Lille. After that they will have to fight for the remainder with Montpellier (who will almost certainly win the league this year) and the likes of Lyon and Bordeaux. Throw in that they won't be playing in any European competitions next year it makes it unlikely that they will be signing many big-name players. I'd rather play in the Championship than play for a side that finished 10th in Ligue 1.

Yeah, but if that Championship team is owned by Venky's and "managed" by Steve Kean suddenly Ligue 1 looks a lot better.

hoilet is a talented guy - but a big club go for him - i just cant see it - hes far too lazy - he gets away with it at rovers because we have a clown in charge - needs to up his work rate to get a big move in my opinion

that is where liverpool would play him imo.

i thought all season that he should have been playing up front with yak.

did great up front last season with roberts.

hugh mistake by kean

That's why Liverpool are struggling, too many sqare pegs in round holes. He's not a winger, he's got no real appreciation of team play and his decision making out wide is poor. Playing off the front man is probably were he's at his best. Having said that only the really top sides can afford a luxury like that and even those teams don't play like that all the time..

I can't see him getting any playing time at Bayern. Why? Well if he plays out wide he's got to displace Robben or Ribery.

If he plays in the middle, it's a case of displacing Schweinsteiger or Muller...
