Stephan Lichtsteiner Denies Paris Saint-Germain’s Offer

Swiss international and LOSC defender Stephan Lichtsteiner denied Paris Saint-Germain’s offer. The offer was 50,000 euros per month with 500,000 euros for the signing. Not a bad deal for Stephan. I guess he wants a higher price. He certainly didn’t deny the deal to stay with us. Lichtsteiner already stated that he doesn’t expect to play for LOSC next season.

The Goalkeeper Problem: Lille still isn’t sure who will be our number one keeper next season. Tony Sylva is supposed to be leaving, but no one else has signed him yet. L’Équipe reports that our current options are Sylva staying (Trabzonspor want him), Mickaël Landreau (unlikely since Le Guen wants to keep him), and Charles Itandje (Galatasaray is close to signing him). This really bothers me. The last thing you want to worry about heading into the next season is who will be in goal. It is one of the most important and valuable positions in football.

We still haven’t seen the club’s new kits. My guess is that the management was dissatisfied with Airness, because LOSC Lille Métropole has ditched them for someone else. Lille signed a four year deal with Canterbury. Canterbury mostly outfit Rugby clubs. The only two football clubs they support are Portsmouth and La Corogne. Hopefully, they will unveil the 2008/2009 LOSC kit soon.
