Why we won’t be signing Nigel Reo-Coker + Ribery Update

339 comments May 28th, 2007

No, not because the returning Alex Song negates the need for any squad reinforcement whatsoever. But simply because our depth in midfield is so great that Mathieu Flamini is going to buy out his own contract just to escape the congestion that is building in that one position.

There’s no doubt Reo-Coker is a good player, and I for one wouldn’t mind seeing him arrive. But throw in the inflation his Englishness will add to his price tag, and Arsene will steer well clear. With Denilson, Diaby, Fagregas and Gilberto all already in place, he’ll surely be concentrating on getting in a winger or two.

Speaking of wingers, if you’re feeling nostalgic, don’t read this. You might cry.

UPDATE: Marseille have confirmed that Franck Ribery will leave this summer. Pape Diouf, their chairman, says:

“Ribery will leave for a significant fee that is good for l’OM. But that doesn’t mean we want him to leave.”

So, will it be us or Munich?
