The Daily-Or-So News Dispatch (07.09.04)
By: Sam | September 4th, 2007
Bad news: September is upon us. So during the day while I could be blogging left and right, I have to go to high school and “learn”. Sigh. I’ll try to hide my sadness (Dude, I got my skateboard confiscated before the frickin’ first bell, for crying out loud!) by force-feeding you these quick bits involving Bonaventure Kalou, Habib Beye, Hatem Trabelsi and Salomon Olembé. Wow, an African special!
+ Take a pinch of disappointment, a teaspoon of regret and a whole lot of angry fans, and what do you get? Bonaventure Kalou signing a contract with Al-Jazira of the United Arab Emirates. After spending five dismal matches at Lens, this after two dismal years at PSG, the 29-year old Ivoirian international kills his career. Shame, shame.
+ As Newcastle’s official site has it, ex-Marseille skipper Habib Beye just loves it at St. James’ Park. The fans made him feel all fuzzy inside before his first match with the Toon against Wigan, embarking on a three-year adventure.
+ After much speculation about Hatem Trabelsi’s next club after leaving Manchester City, it appears as if the Tunisian could be heading to Le Mans. Considered as Beye’s replacement, some tabloids have apparently reported that he’s in training with the Sarthe club. We’ll see how that works out.
+ Wigan Athletic made it official today, Marseille midfielder Salomon Olembé is now one of theirs. After a few very uneventful years spent mostly with the reserves, the Camerounian international continues the Ligue 1 exodus towards the Premiership.
+ Ligue 2 update: Nantes are back on top of the league with 13 pointsafter narrowly beating Bastia 1-0 in the late game of Week 6. Behind them are Le Havre, 4-1 winners over Gueugnon, and Dijon, who triumphed away to Reims.

Sad that a player like Kalou is going to the Emirates… He was a good player for Auxerre, but since his move to Paris, he’s lost all his form. Shame on Lens for only leaving him 5 games to get back to prime though. Especially since he wasn’t particularly bad… Just unlucky and part of an attack force that couldn’t score.

When I first read that Kalou was going to Emirates, I thought Emirates Stadium, Arsenal. And then I thought, WTF? How is that possible?
Anyway, I say good riddance to Kalou. A waste of space at PSG, his wage demands far outstripped what he actually deserved.

Kalou is an extremely skilled player.
The only mistake he did in paris was to criticize the fans openly and not leave. Being a pariah on your own team ain’t fun. Being benched for two years is not good either. Let’s just hope he gets enough money in a year in the emirates to come back in top shape and ready to sacrifice a year or two to finish his career on a good note. If he wanted to kill his career, I think he would have gone to the MLS as a DP.Posted from
