RUMOUR - Modibo Maiga

[Mr Angry]

"Maiga made it clear to Sochaux that he wanted out, claiming that he would refuse to turn out for the club again if they blocked a move."

If this is true then I hope we don't sign the prima donna, as he sounds as if he could well be VERY high maintenance. It also doesn't sound like the sort of player that NH and Brian would normally be interested in.

Didn't Kebe do pretty much the same thing to get his move to us?

Different rules for deities.

Boulogne-sur-Mer midfielder Jimmy Kebe has gone on strike in a bid to force his side to let him join Reading.

The 24-year-old French-Malian is under contract with Lens until the end of the season and was loaned for a year to Ligue 2 side Boulogne-sur-Mer in the summer.

Kebe is in a real purple patch, having scored five goals in 16 appearances, and has been offered the chance to join Reading before the transfer window closes.

The player has revealed that Lens and Steve Coppell’s club have reached an agreement but Boulogne have ruled out the transfer.

He refused to play at the weekend against Montpellier and is insistent on joining Reading.

“Reading could wait until the end of the season to sign me for free, but they have agreed a fee with Lens, which means that they really want me,” he told RMC.

“On the financial aspect, I can’t refuse a move there. It’s a great chance. I am only under contract until the end of the season so if I am injured, I haven’t anything left.

“I have refused to play, I stay at home waiting for a solution. I have discussed with Boulogne. My future is not there, but they don’t agree for the moment.

“I am prepared for a dispute with them in order to join Reading. It is the chance of my life.”

They love a good strike, the france-based players.

[Royalwaster]

But Kebe does what he wants. Even Anto recognised this. C'est ca!

[BrockManson]

You could tell he actually loved that chant.

Fair play to Kebe for this... was a ridiculous situation. It wasnt Lens who were saying no, it was the loan club, who shouldnt have had a say as they had never paid an initial loan fee

[Norfolk Royal]

Signed for West Ham lol, £4.7-million.

[melonhead]

too much!

[Brain Traysers]

On a 4 year deal with the option (seemingly in the players hands) to extend a further 2 years. Potentially a 6 year deal for a player Newcastle rejected for having dodgy knees! The same Newcastle who took on Santon and Ba who both had suffered long term injury problems.

If WHU medicals are that relaxed im surprised it took Shorey so long to complete his...

Dyer, Ljungberg, Boa Morte, Ashton

Its what West Ham do, weren't they paying Bentley's wages at some point this season?

Thought you meant kebe for a moment there!

Be interested to see how Maiga does. He mysteriously failed a medical with NUFC once Cisse became available but he'd been watched for quite a while.

I don't think he'd be suited to Big Sam's style mind...

How many strikers is that now?

Let me guess, he's huge, over 6' and black. Perfect to lump the ball to.

Why are black people perfect to lump the ball to?

West Ham aim to have 25 forwards in their squad of 25.

Just a stereotype m8.

[Royal Ginger]

(p.s. For Imbeciles, this means an 11-man team of 11 strikers!)

You really are off the scale on the c*nt'o'meter.
