Juventus keeping an eye on the French League (8 Viewers)

[Turk_Bianconero]

sounds like a statement by some racist right-wing-politician to me. zebina was born in paris, he is french. it's not like you can't be true french if you're black. zidane is french too, he was born in france, his mother tongue is french, so who cares his part were algerian? the guy is french, period. it's 2006 man.

no,I am enemy of racists

but this is truth

french national team full of foreign players

I'll paraphrase.

Basically, France never had a national team, because no player who ever played for that team is actually French. Just because someone was born in France, started his career in a French club, does not speak any other language than French and has never lived in a country other than France does not give him the right to be French, damn it!

 

[Omair]

OK Martin u got a point ..

We all know that they have french passports .. It's not my problem they are soft in immigration policies ..

At the end it's what a person does that make him/her better than others ..

Ask the German or the Swiss NT Coach how many real Germans or Swiss they have in their Teams. But thats the way live goes. If they feel French, German, Swiss or Italian then they should play for this NT. The last example is the Argie-Italie Guy from Genova. Or Higuain: Half Argie Half French...

There is no such thing as a "real" frenchmen, Englishmen etc etc.

 

[Cronios]

our last true french player is Deschamps(Trezeguet half argentinian,Boumsong african,Zebina is too,Zidane is algerian)

Wasnt DD half "Basque"(spell) too?? LOL

Guys give them a break, they are more French, than Deco is Portuguess

If a player makes the lifetime choice and pick a NT, its fine with me (maybe not fair but...),
but he souldnt, at any case, be like Di Stefano and play for more...

 

[Ahmed]

ya it doesnt matter as long as u give ure all for the NT you play for...

I think there's a difference between Zidane, and lets say Adu. Aside from the obvious class differance, some clearly changed nationalities intentionally for their own personal benifit and some just happen to eventually become a certain nationality regardless of where they were from.

First time I read the thread title, I thought Juventus were considering a move to a league with less " Inter-ference ".

Adu's mother wanted to leave Ghana and Freddy was schooled and everything in the States. Supposedly they won an immigration lottery and shipped themselves out for necessity purposes even though in economics people really don't "need" anything.

I'don't know why Juve are interested in Abidal because on that side we have already Chiellini. We need only a sub for chiellini.

 

[Buphs]

We should buy Juninho

 

[Bjerknes]

He can play centrally too, you know.

 

[flieeeekke]

but he's primarily a full back. why would we buy someone who can play center instead of someone who actually is a center back?

 

[Bjerknes]

If he's capable and better than the players we already have at said position and could come at a reasonable price... why not..

 

[Marc]

There is no such thing as a "real" frenchmen, Englishmen etc etc.

Yes, there is.

Beckham is a real Englishman.

Henry is a real Frenchman.

 

[flieeeekke]

still, he's not good enough to lead the back line in a strong serie a team. dont kniow, i'd go for barzagli. 25m is a joke and whoever thought of that number knows it. i think ir perfectly possible to get him for less than 10m and id defo go for that.

 

[Marc]

Because it is better to have versatile player.

 

[Cronios]

LB is a position we have already covered, if he can play as a RB and is defensive wise better than Zebina, then he is welcomed...
did Andy means center as midfield?

Esclusiva agente Abidal: 'A fine stagione può lasciare il Lione, ma servono 15 mln'

10:00 del 06 novembre

AbidalIn esclusiva a Calciomercato.com, Oscar Damiani, agente italiano del difensore del Lione, Eric Abidal (per la Francia il referente e' Vanditelli): "E' senz'altro una possibilità quella che Abidal lasci il Lione a fine stagione. Ha il contratto in scadenza nel 2008, potrebbe anche trovare un accordo con la sua attuale società e prolungare il suo legame. In questo momento e' troppo presto per saperlo. In ogni caso ci sono parecchie squadre importanti che lo vogliono. Italia, Spagna e Inghilterra su tutte. Se dovessi dire dove ha piu' possibilità di andare a giocare nel caso lasciasse il Lione, direi Inghilterra, Spagna ed infine Italia. Questo perche' in Premier League ci sono i club piu' ricchi. Il cartellino di Abidal costerebbe parecchio, non meno di 15 milioni di euro".
