I’ve never rated Zenden. I was really worried about the Giuly rumors, as he can do a lot of damage, but Zenden isn’t as scary. I’ve liked OM’s other signings so far though, just not Zenden. His speaking French will facilitate his integration into the team, but he hasn’t looked sharp at all for Liverpool in the past two years. But his experience can only be beneficial.

Madsear, I still think Lyon will win the title next year, just because of the quality and quantity of their manpower. OM’s first team is very good, but the bench isn’t that great, and it will be even more challenging for OM to cope with CAN, the CL, both cups, and the Championnat than for Lyon. But I don’t think the gap will be very big, and the winner won’t be decided by October like it was this past season.

billi: If any club in the world is willing to pay 2,5 million for Bostjan Cesar, they’re probably run by monkeys. And Marseille has Cana and M’Bami for holding midfielders, and Zubar and Faty for centerbacks to replace Rodriguez and Givet.

hey guys why isn’t there marselle offcide?
i think marselles need one more(at least) good defender and one more good midfielder. Where are money from ribery? as i know 8 millions for ziani 8 for cisse and 6 for givet. Also 3 for cheyrou. thats 25. price of ribery? and doesn’t you have any more money to strengthen your squad for champions league?And i also heard cesar is leaving to besiktas for 2.5 millions.
Starting11
carasso
beye Good def givet taiwo
good midfielder( or cheyrou at least)
zenden nasri ziani
cisse niang
This team maybe can battle with lyon
I really wish you good luck
I can’t say that i’m supporter but i really really love om i hope you’ll get in 1/8 of champions league at least and kick lyon’s ass.
Good luck from roma fan!!!

Yeah, that’s always the thing with Marseille, all the Africans are always on international. (At least it’s not as bad as St-Étienne ) But with Ziani and Zenden on the wings it’ll be hard for him to cope, even though, yeah, he is great. Joker de luxe, peut-être? Si Zenden est irrégulier ou bien il a pas le physique c’est largement possible que Niang passe en titulaire, mais c’est à voir…

I can’t believe y’all think Niang will be benched next year. He is arguably in the top 10 of players in the ligue right now. I think he’ll be there. I ythink Zenden will get his chance to shine during the african cup of nations.

Of course, Zenden isn’t 25 and playing with PSV anymore, but by Ligue 1 standards go, he’s pretty slick. Besides, there’s always Niang if he disappoints. It’s not like it’s bad for OM.

Ummh, Inara, you should be shook.
There’s no way Lyon is keeping hexagoal next year.
Zenden speaks french and will adapt pretty easily with
Cissé on the team and a frecnh wife. So I don’t think it’ll be a waste to have an experienced player on the team.

Zenden is a signing that will make OM’s opponents very very happy. I hate to say it, but he’s a waste of space. I was expecting better from Marseille, who did get Zenden for free but still have to pay him very high wages.
