Jean-Michel Aulas: We don’t want Nasri.

By: Sam | April 12th, 2007

Sam: Yeah right.

After footie tabloid Foot Transfert screamed that Lyon were officially jumping on the Samir bandwagon, the quintuple champions set things right on their official website. Honestly, the nerve of those people, stating that OL wanted to get their hands on one of the most promising midfielders in the world today.

The statement read (translated from French): Olympique Lyonnais feel the obligation to firmly defalsify the pseudo-information published by the magazine Foot Transfert and by other periodicals under the title “Aulas opens the Nasri case”. Regardless of the Marseille player’s talent, OL has never imagined his transfer to Lyon. Olympique Lyonnais deplores this kind of unfounded and lie-laden information whose goals are to sell newspapers and to cause grief to the club and its president.

Whoa, Jean-Michel. Never imagined Nasri at Gerland? Come on now, let’s not be silly.

  I thought it was pretty funny how Lyon’s website posted the denial less than 24 hours of the rumors starting. I’m pretty sure Lyon is keeping track of Nasri, but realistically, it won’t happen for a long time, if ever. Diouf would sell Nasri to Quatar before selling him to Aulas.

  As for Aulas…I think only a Lyonnais can love him (he is pretty much hated by the rest of the hexagon - even Bernard Tapie has more fans than him). Aulas is a fantastic president, and a creep. But you must be a creep to succeed.

  [...] as vocal in their admiration of Nasri, and the one time that rumors linked him with Lyon, Aulas denied them immediately. It’s not that Lyon don’t want Nasri, but Lyon getting [...]
