Did Garde manage Cissokho at Lyon? Thought I read that somewhere. Of all the players to be loyal to/manager's pet, here's hoping it's not him.

There for his first year I think. I'd be surprised and disappointed to see him in ahead of Amavi. But I'd be delighted (and not surprised) it he were in ahead of Richardson.

I'm sure that there's a quote from Cissokho saying that it will be interesting to see if his old boss turning up in B6 could mean a return for himself.

Didn't he leave Lyon with a rep as one of the best young left backs in Europe after his form under Garde?

Well if that's true, maybe there's hope for other "less well regarded" players on our books.

Not really. He joined them with that reputation - they paid Porto €15 million for him.

He was competent for Lyon and then left them for Valencia for about a third of what they paid. Then a loan at Liverpool a season later and then a permanent transfer somewhere else. I forget where.

€15 million. Fuck me. Are you sure that's Euros and not Italian Lira?

Funny you should say Italian Lira, Milan had agreed the same fee for him, but the deal broke down when there was a question mark from his medical. Apparently something with his teeth indicated a possible problem with his spine^*. Lyon and Garde's predecessor, Claude Puel hijacked the deal for the same amount.

It was Garde that shipped him out to Valencia.

Interesting cheap shot VID. Venomous snakes have two hollow or grooved fangs. Constrictors don't need teeth swallowing their prey whole. Fabbo would be the venomous sort.  Must ask Doc Butler how your gnashers affect your spine.

There will be plenty of gnashing of teeth if he returns to do damage on Sunday.

odontology is not my area of expertise, but I believe that the teeth and spine can seriously effect each other especially when picking up huge wage packets and believing that you are better than you really are when slithering about on a very expensive Man City bench.

hope this answers your question Brian

the footballing and herpetological minutiae of this forum never ceases to amaze me! And here am I thinking Fab was just a cnut.

Lacking vertebrae, I'm sure he could curl himself up into the right sort of shape, if that's what floats your boat.

How did this conversation go from Philippe Senderos to Fabian Delph?

Another one I forgot all about.  We really have too many of those don't we?
