Does anyone actually want us to sign anyone? I don't, not while this guy is in charge, what's the point? As soon as a signing is made it's prolonging the agony and verifying that he'll be staying.

But it's not him doing the signing

This is Comollis work Mark. I'm guessing Roy doesn't have much of a say in transfers.

 

[Fabio]

The mark of a modern day great winger: Liverpool don't buy you

 

[Squiggles]

Haha

 

[dmishra]

Rory Smith claims he saw him himself at Anfield last night. Should be more or less certain to sign if so.

 

[Sunny]

More mediocrity.

Nah, I don't think so Sunny. This is potentially a very good signing. A proper left winger that can be described as Malouda in terms of style. Full of tricks, skill and creatitivty. Got the pace to beat his defender and is only 24. For 1,5 mill this is a steal.

I've been reading loads about him today, and the scouts that are based in Frane are raving about him. Had a great season in 09/10 and started good this season aswell. Got injured and will return medio january.
Apperantly what the scouts all agree upon is that he's tough as nails mentally. Thats a good thing to have when you are going to settle quickly in a new league.

It's a good buy. A natural left winger is something we really need aswell.

 

[Sunny]

Ok. Mediocre until proven otherwise then

 

[Paddy]

Guess its good that we are actually signing a WINGER. Something we don't actually have.

 

[Sunny]

Oh and he's not a buy he's a Bosman and probably wont join until end of the season. Doubt he'll join at all after last night. Bosman = mediocrity according to our experience with them

 

[Hansern]

He'll join in january for 1,5 mill

 

[SaintGeorge67]

He's only Rennes 4th best player on Fifa. That must make him shite.

 

[Paddy]

Did this cunt fuck off after realising how shite we are?

 

[Asbo]

He's in ozzy getting a groin op, and will not feature for his team for the rest of the season, he is available free in summer.

Ouest-France: #LFC target Sylvain Marveaux to have op on groin injury, won't play for Rennes again this season. Out of contract in June.

 

[mr_moo]

don't want him if he's out for 6 months. is he actually any good?

Is he any good? Dunno.

Is he better than what we have? Almost certainly.

would probably still pass up the chance though.

 

[kingjulian]

He will not be able to play this season, and he will be on massive wages because he is a free transfer....

I think we should pass up.


For free transfers we should give them a handsome signing-on bonus and put them on proper wages. These inflated wages are extremely ridiculous and is a drain on the club if the player ends up being a failure.

 

[The Duck]

What could possibly go wrong with a plan involving the purchase of a midfielder who is not fully fit upon arrival at the club?

He'll rescue our season in late October......

 

[King Binny]

Rennes midfielder Sylvain Marveaux may not return this season as he continues to struggle with an adductor injury.

The highly-rated 24 year-old has not played since 20 November, and there are fears that he will have to undergo an operation that would rule him out for the remainder of the campaign.

As well as being a big blow for Rennes’ hopes this season, it could also mean that Marveaux has played his last game for the club. Both he and goalkeeper Nicolas Douchez are out of contract in the summer, and general manager Pierre Dreossi admitted in an interview with the club website that he expects both to move on.

“We have spoken to Sylvain twice already and I don’t think he wants to stay. It is a real shame, as he has only managed five or six games for us this season. We have made no progress with Nicolas either. That’s football, though, and this club needs players who want to play for us.â€

 

[ILD]

Ooo Oh, our lovely record of having injury prone players combined with our free transfers in the past spells disaster here.

 

[King Binny]

Newcastle United are close to agreeing a deal with the midfielder manager Alan Pardew had hoped would provide the crosses for £35million striker Andy Carroll.

Rennes player Sylvain Marveaux has been identified by Newcastle’s chief scout Graham Carr as the man to replace winger Wayne Routledge, who joined Queen’s Park Rangers on loan in the January transfer window.

Marveaux, 24, will be out of contract this summer and is close to signing a pre-contract agreement ahead of a move to St James’ Park.

Meanwhile, Shola Ameobi could be out for up to two months after fracturing his cheekbone against Fulham.

Pardew is considering a possible deal for free agent Jeremie Aliadiere, the former Arsenal and Middlesbrough striker, as he looks to fill the gap.

If true, its probably a case of doubt over his injury or us confident of landing better targets I guess?

 

[King Binny]

LIVERPOOL and Newcastle are locked in a tug-of-war for Rennes midfield ace Sylvain Marveaux.

Both clubs have held talks with representatives of the out-of-contract star - just days after the £35million transfer of Andy Carroll to Anfield.

The Magpies are using the cash from the Carroll deal to lure the former France Under-21 star to St James' Park.Marveaux, 24 is believed to have £55,000-a-week deal offers from both clubs.

Probably a ploy to get a more lucrative contract?

 

[King Binny]

Nothing surprising from the 1st part of the report. What's new to me is the last paragraph. For the record, Sow's the leading goalscorer in Ligue 1 this season with 16 goals till date.

Rennes midfielder Sylvain Marveaux, out injured until the end of the season when his contract with the Breton club expires, will not appear again for the club according to general manager Pierre Dréossi.

After his standout ten-goal season in the 2009-10 campaign, Rennes’s Sylvain Marveaux was a serious transfer target for PSG during the summer but also reportedly attracted the attention of Marseille as well as Juventus, Liverpool and Newcastle.

Holding out for a move abroad, Marveaux opted not to extend his current contract with the Breton club, which expires in June 2011, and with a serious groin injury keeping him out for the remainder of the season, it seems he has already played his last game for the club.

"We won’t see Sylvain Marveaux in a Rennes shirt again," SRFC General Manager Pierre Dréossi told the club’s official website after the player underwent surgery for his groin strain on Wednesday. "He has barely played this season and not once at the level we expected of him. Other players have taken his place and shown that they’re up to the task. I’m thinking of Yacine Brahimi and Abdul Camara."

The news represents something of a blow for Rennes, being the second time in less than a year (after Moussa Sow moved to Lille in the summer) that they will lose a star product of their famous youth academy - which has won the award for France’s best youth program for the last five years running - without collecting a transfer fee.

 

[Modo]

Never heard of him.

We've not got a good record with unknown free transfers.

 

[Modo]

Changed my mind after I saw this vid.

Liverpool FC Transfer Watch : Sylvain Marveaux Pre-Contract Agreed?

All the media attention currently focused on the revival of the Liverpool squad has been somewhat dampened by the draw against Wigan today.

Even in the transfer market, the media still has not gotten over the three record transfers involving Liverpool in the January window, with Fernando Torres going out and Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll coming in.

Amidst all this hype, everyone seems to forget that Liverpool is still undergoing a rebuilding phase and requires reinforcements in more than one department.

Almost everyone agrees that Liverpool lacks a decent winger since the departure of Luis Garcia. With Carroll on the squad now, the need for wingers is greater than ever.

Damien Comolli has expressed his admiration of Ashley Young openly, and Liverpool is expected to go all out for him in the summer.

However, another winger linked with Liverpool before the January transfer window was Sylvain Marveaux.

Marveaux has been at Rennes for about 10 years now. He has made over 100 first team appearances for the team, scoring 10 goals.

Sylvain is considered to be a very versatile midfielder, with ability to play both as an attacking midfielder as well as a central playmaker. However, he has found most success while being deployed as a left winger.

Most fans would agree that the left wing has been one of the weakest areas of the Liverpool attack, and a signing to fill that void is very necessary.

Marveaux could fill that void. He only has six months left on his contract at Rennes and has made it clear that he would not sign a new contract.

With a groin injury ruling him out for the rest of the season, he is not expected to play for Rennes again. Even the general manager of Rennes, Peter Dreossi announced, “We will never see Sylvain Marveaux in the jersey of Stade Rennais again."

Hence, the prospect of signing one of the most exciting talents on a Bosman alerted a lot of clubs including Liverpool, Chelsea and Newcastle.

However, Marveaux was believed to be preferring a move to Anfield. His attendance at Anfield for the match against Wolves in the beginning of January had led most people to believe that he is set to sign on the dotted line for Liverpool.

Then, no one heard about it for over a month and the possibility of another team beating Liverpool to the signing was becoming more and more likely.

But reports are now emerging that Comolli has just concluded talks and a pre-contract for Marveaux joining Liverpool in July has been agreed upon.

In times where players are selling for a fortune, singing a player on a Bosman is certainly an asset and the new owners would be extremely pleased with Comolli for the same as the money could now be invested in further strengthening the squad.

It is still believed that despite signing Marveaux, Liverpool would go for Ashley Young in the summer along with signings in defense (especially a left-back) and a central midfielder.

The transfer market dealing by the new owners has certainly given a ray of hope to the Liverpool fans, and if the Marveaux signing does turn out to be true, it would further strengthen the fans' belief on the new owners

Looking at his bio on Wiki, he looks like he'd fit right in. 2 surgeries in 3 seasons (one hamstring, one groin), laying him out a total of 5 + 6 months. I suppose he's being recruited to give Agger and Cole company on the treatment table.
