Scottish Mag 3 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Reports in France indicate that Monaco are keen to bring Newcastle's Jean-Alain Boumsong back to Ligue 1. The former Auxerre defender has endured a dreadful season at St James' Park after being involved in a number of calamitous errors for The Magpies. With a new manager still to be appointed following the sacking of Graeme Souness the playing staff on Tyneside are unsure as to whether they remain in the long-term plans of the club. French outfit Monaco are now reportedly keen to end Boumsong's difficult spell in England by offering him an escape route back to his home country. The defender made his name with Auxerre before a Bosman switch to Rangers in 2004 and his time away from France has not been a resounding success despite remaining a fixture in Raymond Domenech's international plans. Meanwhile the French press are also speculating that Liverpool and Lyon are both interested in Monaco stopper Sebastien Squillaci. The French international is highly rated in Ligue 1 and was heavily linked with a move to Gerard Houllier's league leaders in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathras 243 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I presume we're paying them to take him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut 31 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Monaco only seem to sign players on Loan these days. Our best bet is he has a good World Cup and someone like PSG or Lyon come in with 4 or 5m for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 A loan deal to a French club, leading to a sale is the best possible outcome for all parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6581 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Fingers crossed. If we could get decent money for this bloke, it would be a godsend. 112035[/snapback] Aye but what's classed as 'decent money' for someone of his undoubted talents? £2-3m would be decent money....

ewerk 29491 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 (edited) I'll be happy as long as its not a loan deal, if it is then it should only take them about 5 mins to realise what a heap of shite he is and send him back to us. Anything over £4m would be a bonus. Edited March 30, 2006 by ewerk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 42665 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 If it's a loan we're screwed anyway - we need cash to buy a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
