A new addition and transfer rumours

By: Christoffer | July 14th, 2009

Sebastian Puygrenier have today signed a year deal with AS Monaco to be on loan with us. The former Zenit player have experienced success in france football before when he was with Nancy, and was close to the national team. Then Zenit signed him, but he never had a breakthrough in Russia. So he was loaned to Bolton with option to buy, but neither here did he have a nice season. So now he is back in french football hoping to succeed. He said this in his first interwiev with Monaco: “I am very happy to be in Monaco. This is a great club but unfortunately in a rebuilding process, but I really like what coach Lacombe is putting together, and I want to be a part of it, and lead Moanco back to success”. I like what I am hearing from our new Monégasque and it sounds like he is very motivated to play here in Monaco. But now to something else. This weeks transfer rumours.

Seyi Olofinjana: After a strong start in english premier league club Stoke. Olofinjana had a setback, and was put on the bench. Now Lacombe wants to pick him up and the rumours are saying that we have already made a 3€ million bid for him. I went to the Stoke forum for some rewiev of Olofinjana, and they actually praised him, despite him beeing only on the bench. They called him a work-horse, consistens and so on. So it could be a nice purchase if we go get him.

Out

Patrick Müller: We might actually be able to get some money for him! Servette Geneve are interested in him. He has told that is interested in moving back to Switzerland, even though it is back in the 2 division. The amount have not been told but it should not be a lot of money. but at least we are getting something for him.

Jerko Leko: Leko was close to a move to Stoke, but then Wolverhampton got in the race for him and now he is splitted between the two clubs. He should decide very soon where he wants to go. The amount is said to be around 3€ million but it could become higher if an eventually pricewar could happen between Wolves and Stoke.

Not a lot of transfer rumours at this time which I am very dissapointed about. I really want a striker now that Savidan didn’t change after medical problems, but hopefully we can get a new one soon. That is all for this time. See you soon
