Corey, we do need more defenders. Lichsteiner might be on the way out. Aditya, according to Mercato365 Zubar hasn’t moved to Lens.

I think Zubar has already left on loan to Lens. How good is Faty anyways? I have never seen him play though I know he did good for Rennes and was a member of French U-21.

Lille still need to find a striker and a few additions to the defense, although Franquart has not played badly and Rami has been pretty good. I suggest looking at one of Marseille’s not needed players, either Jacques Faty or Ronnie Zubar.

CFA for Hartock? That is a shame to waste him in division 4 French football. Aditya, Garcia and the Lille management are trying to keep Mavuba. I remember reading that talks were close to his definite stay at Lille.

Balmot is a good signing for Lille. If Lille can get Mavuba as well I think Lille midfield will be good.

Hartock! Hmmm, I forgot all about him. Its so bad that Vercoutre stayed on at Lyon because he probably would have been the backup to Lloris, but now I expect him to move on. Although, Alexandre Bouchard just moved to Chateroux which means Lyon is a little short on youth keepers, as Aymes, Lopes and Gorgelin are still far to young for the first team. So while I would like to see Hartock playing for Lille, he may still play another season in the CFA for Lyon’s reserves.
