News Frenzy: Official Jerseys,Chalmé’s departure,And More

The official LOSC jerseys for the 07/08 season have been unveiled. There aren’t any major changes to the jerseys. The home jersey uses more white than last year. It looks like the main away jersey won’t be blue this year, but instead white. Lille used two different away jerseys last season, a blue one, and a white one.

Mathieu Chalmé was allowed to miss practice yesterday to complete his transfer to Girondins de Bordeaux. Supposely, Chalmé has been negotiating with Bordeaux for four years while playing for Lille. The former back right LOSC player, has been with the club for five seasons. He played in 15 UEFA Champions League matches, and 8 UEFA Cup matches. Chalmé will be officially presented to the press with Bordeaux at 16:00h (France time). He was a key player in Lille’s key line-up. This looks like another bad blow to the club.

The second best scorer of the Portuguese league, Eduardo Fernando Gomes (nicknamed Dady), has chosen to stay at his club,C.F. Os Belenenses. Dady was rumored to be signing to Lille for 3 million euros. Central defender, Rafael Schmitz, may be headed to Birmingham. The tabloid, Birmingham Mail, said that the club is interested in Rafael. This transfer is likely since Schmitz in the past expressed his desire to play in England. So yet another player may leave Les Dogues. I wish they would recruit more players instead of losing a player every other day! Lille has now lost a total of 11 players, and Rafael may leave as well. It’s sad that Lille can’t keep their players, and are having trouble recruiting new ones. Poor Les Dogues:
