Seen it reported second hand that he's not interested but can't really see if there's any substance to that
Substance ? Who needeth that

It's quite possible that he has a very high opinion of himself and is targeting a Champions League club. It's early in the summer though so if he were to realise that those clubs aren't coming in for him and he speaks to Sherwood and learns more about the club, he might well see it as a good opportunity (though likely see us as a stepping stone).

Yes please!  He wouldn't come cheap I would have thought considering he is a French international fullback and was probably the best LB in Ligue 1 over the course of the season.  11 yellow cards over the season means he probably gets stuck in a bit too so hopefully he can defend instead of just being an attacking fullback.

Only 5'9" though, and I prefer my back line to be a little more statuesque... especially since Okore is only 6'.  I had a feeling we would go for a French left back but figured it would be Layvin Kazawa from AS Monaco, so this is probably even better.

Looks great on You tube montage but really - some of the football and individual crapness of that league leaves a lot to be desired

Benteke said when he signed he saw us as a stepping stone. It's not great to hear but the reality is with the exception of Real Madrid and Barcelona, every club is a stepping stone.

in France this would suggest he got his make up and colour co-ordination wrong

Hope he joins us.
Having seen Nice a couple of weeks ago, I think Villa should offer him a flat overlooking the Gas Street Basin canals. It won't be the same as the beach but it's close.
He could keep his yacht there.

Some shutters, a balcony, and a big square nearby - home from home!


I forgot the Michelin restaurants, airport and trams ( nearly there).
Hardly tell the difference, really.

It might pan out that way with some of the clubs he's been linked to and if he has another good year with us and a good European Championships. It works both ways though, we would have gone down without him and if we get more top players who see us as a stepping stone, we'll gradually climb the table.

Sounds a bit like the Premier League.

He would also require a few gangs of pickpockets and drug-dealers on the square

Quite and that policy appears to have served Southampton well.

I heard that he'd rejected us as well
