Name: Franck Ribéry
Team: Olympique Marseille
Position: Attacking midfielder, Winger
Number: 7
Nationality: French
Date of birth: 7 April 1983

Franck "Bilal" Ribéry (born April 7, 1983, in Boulogne-Sur-Mer) is a French football player who currently plays for Olympique Marseille either as an attacking midfielder or a left- or right-sided winger, and recently has been touted by the media as the successor to Zinédine Zidane as the star of the French national team, due to his increasingly impressive performances.
Career:
He signed a contract with Turkish club Galatasaray in January 2005, and went on to help them win the 2005 Turkish Cup by scoring a key goal in a 1-0 victory in the semi-final and scoring a goal and assisting another in a 5-1 win in the final against rivals Fenerbahçe. The Galatasaray fans were impressed with the young Frenchman's skills, and quickly gave him the nickname, "FerraRibery". But in June of that year, he abruptly left the Istanbul club and joined Olympique de Marseille, the sixth club of his career. The move was a controversial one, especially in Turkey: Galatasaray claimed Ribéry's contract was still good and that all back wages had been paid to Ribéry, but Ribéry claimed the contract was void because, he claimed, that the club's management owed him back wages. The case is under FIFA arbitration as of June 2006. The move to Marseille has since earned him top French player honours for the months of August, October and November 2005.
On June 12, 2006, he was named in the starting lineup of the French team for their opener in the 2006 FIFA World Cup against Switzerland. His first international goal proved to be a crucial one, levelling France at 1-1 with Spain in the 41st minute of their knockout round match after calmly rounding the Spanish keeper, Íker Casillas. Though Spain were the favourites, France went on to win that game 3-1 to book a quarter-final slot against Brazil.
Upon facing Brazil on July 1, 2006, Ribéry was substituted in the 75th minute of the 1-0 victory following an impressive performance.He also played in the World Cup final defeat to Italy where he went close with a low shot in the first half of extra-time.

Transfer speculations:
After a much-praised performance throughout the World Cup, Ribéry was linked with a move to several top clubs. However, he stated in July 2006 that he plans on seeing out the next four years at Marseille.[3] In a confusing turn of events, shortly after making this statement, Ribéry claimed during an interview for French top channel TF1 that he had changed his mind and will eventually quit Olympique de Marseille. Marseille's president has since specifically denied that any offer for Ribéry has been made to Marseille by any club whatsoever. In particular, Ribéry has been strongly linked to Arsenal and Real Madrid, with rumours circulating in October 2006 that Marseille have already reached an agreement with the English club for the player. This has been denied by the Marseille sporting director, who however, for the first time confirmed there was interest from Arsenal and Real Madrid for Ribéry, but said that L'OM would not sell their best players because the management intended "to claim a place in the Champions League". During the January transfer window, he has been linked with a move to FC Bayern Munich, where he could star alongside fellow French national team player Willy Sagnol.
Many believe Ribéry will leave Marseille this coming summer. Real Madrid, Premiership duo Arsenal and Manchester United, and Bayern Munich are all after his lucrative signature. Also, Rumours have been linking Ribéry heavily to the Italian giants; Juventus, it is no secret that Monsieur Deschamps is a big admirer of the French talent.

Things you don't know about Ribéry:
Ribéry is a Muslim, having converted to Islam around the time he married his Muslim fiancée Wahiba Belhami who is of Algerian descent (originally from Nedroma, Tlemcen). Ribéry has adopted the Arabic name Bilal. They have one daughter together, Hizya, who was born on July 18, 2005.
Why I want Ribéry to join us:
Ribéry is one of the quickest football dribblers I've ever seen, his ball control is amazing, versatile, consistent and he is still young, this means that he can shine more in the near future. He is always motivated and this is pretty clear in every match he plays. Moreover, he won't cost us more than £14m, a transfer fee which is nothing compared to the efforts that he can do.

Any player, whom you want to join Juve, can be added to the list provided that you give a detailed report about that player.

Anyway, welcome. 
I want more details. Do the proper report on him, you lazy bastard. 
you are clearly showing no respect for my authority!!
all joking aside he's a class player that needs to be picked right away. His style isn't super flasy like Ronaldinho or Ronaldo but more like Kaka who will deliver first then do a few tricks here and there.
