Lille Considers Marseille’s Ronald Zubar

By: Julien | July 3rd, 2008


We still haven’t signed Rio Mavuba which led the Lillois recruters to consider other options. Ronald Zubar could be the answer. Lille is considering the OM centre back.

La Voix des Sports reports that Cédric Baseya signed a contract with Lille. He is a Congolese striker. His former club was Crewe Alexandra Football Club who played in division 3 English football. Baseya only played 3 matches for them last season.

Noooo (picture Home Alone Macaulay Culkin scream)!!!! Lille has extended Grégory Malicki’s contract to 2010. He is one of the worst keepers in France, in my opinion. It is worse watching him in goal than Fabien Barthez. At least Barthez gets lucky with his saves. Malicki is just a flopping fish. How terrifying! Speaking of goalkeepers, Tony Sylva may end up returning to LOSC. Supposedly, an indemnity from last year’s contract is complicating things for Trabzonspor. Sounds like good news for Lille since two of our backup plans are slipping away. Charles Itandje is close to signing with Galatasaray and Grenoble also wants Jérémie Janot. I’m sure the newly promoted Ligue 1 club is poised to acquire Janot’s talents.

Two days after France’s Fête Nationale (Bastille Day for Anglophones), Lille unveils the 2008/2009 season kits. It will be Canterbury’s first time supplying LOSC.

AS Nancy announced their price for Sébastien Puygrenier’s transfer, 5 to 6 million euros. I doubt Lille will pay that much and to me he sounds overpriced.

PSG continues to negotiate with Lille for Stephan Lichtsteiner. Le Guen really wants the Swiss defender. He met with Lichtsteiner’s agent and brother Marko Lichtsteiner last monday.

    What’s going on with Mavuba, Julien? I feel like I’ve seen a few stories saying that he’s officially Lille, is that the Spanish tabloids jumping the gun, as usual?

    It keeps going back and forth with Rio Mavuba, which is bad for Lille. First there were talks that a contract was close. Then Rio said he was unsure about staying with us. Now Lille is considering different options. I think he might just stay with Villareal.
