Ribery Determined To Leave Marseille

[RUSI]

For what it is worth, Marseille president Pape Diouf has stated that he will never sell Ribery to Lyon.

 

[Help?]

ppl, don't forget that his contract can hold him - even against his will - in marseille. the manager diouf may force him to stay just to show him who's the boss.

And how many times have you seen this kind of thing happen?

 

[tracertong]

i think it is time for Ribery to join one of the best leagues in the world. The french league is at best mediocre.......

 

[henry#14]

What a penis. Why didn't he just come out and say he wants a move earlier?

 

[barthez4]

I wish it wasn't so, but I think he is a perfect fit for Arsenal, and he is a player that would gel into their team brilliantly.

Ribéry = Fils de pute.

Pape Diouf will do everythin' to keep him, and if he leaves I'm sure he won't go to Lyon. Jean-Michel "Ass-hole" Aulas is thinking Ribéry is already a player of Lyon....

Marseille gave him a lot especially to go to World Cup, and he wants to leave... He said there aren't great players in l'OM! Djibril Cissé, Habib Beye, Lorik Cana, Taye Taiwo... Oh no sorry we are a small club and this bastard want a bigger club. Maybe he will enjoy to play with l'OM 2nd team in 5th division..

25-30M€, not less. He's gonna be the 2nd Anelka.

It would be stupid to exercise authority and keep him against his will

A player should never be forced to play where he doesn't want to

why shouldnt they? They've signed a contract, it's about time a club exercised their power over a player who throws his toys out of the pram. Of course they'd be risking losing out on a big transfer fee, but it would be funny.

Ribéry signed a new contract with a huge wage for l'OM (150K€/month). He was joyful, he said he loves Marseille and supporters. One week ago he said he wanted to stay and now, he wants to leave? His family and agents are putting pressure on him, he's just losing his career now.

"My mind is made up and I'm not looking back," Ribery said. "But I'm not forgetting that Marseille is my club. I love this club, I love the fans -- they are the best in France."

I dont think he's going to lyon...

 

[Guillaume]

I dont think he's going to lyon...

He doesn't care about l'OM supporters, he just wants money. Ribéry is an idiot, he can't think by himself so he can go to Lyon IMO.

 

[SB9Dragon]

Ribery at Arsenal would be a great addition for them. But I'm pretty sure he has his site set on Lyon, as aforementioned...repeatedly.

I really think it's best if Marseille do sell him. His newfound "stardom" has either really gone to his head or has "inspired" his agents into wanting him to join a bigger team and get more cash.

I sorta think it's messed up to perform so well, proclaim your love for a team, and then just backstab them into wanting to leave and such. You can't honestly love the club as such if you simply want to leave in such a way.

Whatever happened to playing your best, raising the profile of your team, and actually making them challengers yourself? Long gone times, huh...

Arsenal ready to complete £13.5m deal for Ribéry........

yeah, the problem in those cases is there is a lot of people who wants to earn money with the transfer (of course the agent, and maybe others), and put the pressure on the player. and if the player isn't smart, he can do a mistake in his carrer.

we all hear about real madrid, arsenal, bayern and lyon interest in buying ribéry, but i don't believe those rumors are 100% true. one thing is "beeing intereted" on a player, and don't make a serious offer, trying to bring him on a low price, another thing is to offer a good proposition to really get the player. if it happens, i'm sure pape diouf will let ribéry go (like the drogba transfer).

drogba is a good example: he said he din't want to leave the club, and he got a good offer for him and for the club, and i think he is still a legend in marseille. ribéry should think on it. i am just getting tired of all those players who have this mentality. ribéry could stay one more year, instead leaving marseille like a thief, and he would surely play all the season, instead risking to go to the bench in another club. and for sure next year REAL good propositions will come.

this situation reminds me in certain ways (i know it is not completely the same) one of my all-times-favourite-players: papin. he was one of the greatest legends of marseille (if i'm right, he won 4 or 5 consecutives best french scorer titles, 5 consecutives french leagues, and the "france football" golden ball in 1991), and wanted to play a more challenging league, in a greater club and he gone to ac milan. he never really adapted in milan, and it was the beginning of the end for him. i bet he regretted his choice of leaving marseille... but at least he leaved the club proudly, with the gratitude of the fans.

i'm not blaming the ribéry's ambition in having a higher challenge - and earning more money - but it is the way he wants to leave that i criticize.

Yeah, I totaly agree with you. Ribéry was a hero in Marseille last season, we were thinking he will become the new Papin. He did a fantastic season, in L1 and in WC, I can understand he wants to play with a big team which can qualify in Champions League... But we have Djibril Cissé, Lorik Cana or great young players as Samir Nasri or Ronald Zubar. And without Ribéry, it will be so hard.

I'm not really optimistic but just wait and see. I'm sure he's a good man but there is too much pressure on him at present. I'm still hope to see him stay one more year in Marseille. We can't replace him, it's too late. Ligue 1 has already started so...

by the way, who are the favourites and outsiders of the french league? i don't live in france and i am not aware about the potential of the teams. lyon is surely the n.º 1 favourite, but what about the others?

and even if ribéry stays, would marseille have chances to win the league?

 

[andremc11]

Don't know what all the hype is about.He's just above average.What he did at world cup level any of other players could have done.The only things dat impress me with him is his strength on the ball and maturity.But Damn some of you lads called Ronaldinho ugly,dis guy looks like frikin shrek. I am not disputing his reputation for marseille but let the guy go and just buy some1 from brazil.Another talent will come!!

I'm a Marseille fan but, honestly, I don't think l'OM can win Ligue 1 this season. Lyon has a huge team which is good for Champions League... We can't fight at present but it would be possible with players as Ribéry. Djibril Cissé will be back in 2 months, he is a great striker and I hope he'll help us to be better and better. In Marseille, we need stability, so we want to qualify in Champions League. After, if there are some opportunities, we'll take it.

Teams like Bordeaux, Lille, Lens or Paris can finish in a good place, but I think Lyon is gonna win his 6th title. A record in France, a record in Europe...
I'm just still hoping to see them lose.

In Marseille we want stability. If each year, our best player leaves the team, how can we be great? Drogba left l'OM, and we're still looking for replace him (Cissé?). Now it's too late to find a substitue to Ribéry, Ligue 1 has started so we have to be performing early, not as last season.

Marseille is maybe the most famous team in France, maybe in Europe too, but we don't have win anything since Champions League 1993 against Milan AC. There are a lot of supporters everywhere in France, and even if we played 2 UEFA Cup finals (1999-2004), we're still waiting to see a great team able to be good in Chamions League. I know it can't be done in 1 year, it's a long work so we need to keep our best players, that's all.

If any team want to buy Ribery, they must firstly agree with Galatasaray at the price..Because Ribery's contract is still at Galatasaray..He is playing with temporary license at Marseille..
