craig 5,199 Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 St Etienne are rumoured to be looking at bringing Moroccan international Jaouad Zairi to the club. Les Verts have money available to spend in the summer following the sale of Didier Zokora to Tottenham Hotspur and the club's number one target is thought to be a striker, with Sochaux's Zairi high on their list of possible recruits. The 24-year-old is likely to leave Stade Bonal in the summer, with Rangers and Olympiakos also interested, and although favouring a switch abroad, Zairi admits he could be swayed by St Etienne's proposal. "I won't close the door. I would favour a move abroad, but if a club like St Etienne offer me a regular starting place, that would be nice," he said. According to But!, St Etienne could also be about to launch an audacious bid to lure Portsmouth's Tresor Lomana Lua Lua to the club. However, Pompey manager Harry Redknapp will be keen to keep one of the players pivotal in helping the club avoid relegation to The Championship last term and would most likely turn down the advances of the French club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurlock 0 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I feel sorry for players like Hutton, Smith and Burke, they could be sitting on the sidelines watching a team full of foreigners again. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I feel sorry for players like Hutton, Smith and Burke, they could be sitting on the sidelines watching a team full of foreigners again. I think they will get there chance but Le GUens standards might be higher. Burke was probably our best player at times last season in a poor side and im sure he will play a part for Le Guen. Im a big fan of Smith and hope he can continue last years form this coming season. Hutton started promising but blew hot and cold for the most of last season. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 PLG hasn't signed any full backs though, has he? I'd have thought that Smith will start although it'll be interesting to see what happens with Ricksen. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudbertz 0 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 PLG has said on a few occasions that Burkey, Hutton and Smith are in his plans, he wont leave them out of the team without at least giving them a chance. Of the 3 of them, and even though he was arguably our best player last season, i think Burke's place is more at risk than the two full back's as there's more competition in midfield right now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
