Lyon have loaned out 21 year-old U21 international Loic Remy to Lens until the end of the season with the option of buying him (between 8 and 10 million Euros). They've loaned out Sandy Paillot (20 years of age) to FC Grenoble to get used to being kicked about more than he does with the stiffs. Shame about Remy. He looked promising but he's well down the pecking order now with wide men Govou, Ben Arfa, Keita and new man, Argentinian Caesar Delgado, and even Benzema who can play wide.

Cisse reveals England offers
Player close to return By Patrick Haond Last updated: 1st February 2008 Cisse: Tempted by England Marseille striker Djibril Cisse has revealed he nearly quit France to return to England during the January transfer window. Former Liverpool player Cisse attracted the attention of Manchester City and Blackburn last month. Whilst being tempted to make a return to the Premier League after enduring a poor start to his Ligue 1 season with L'OM, the France international believes it is in his best interests to remain in Marseille ahead of this summer's Euro 2008 tournament. Objective "The fans booing? I have turned the page, but I won't forget. I had a lot of scores to settle," Cisse said. "I was close to leaving but it has finally calmed down. Mainly it was Manchester City that were interested but Blackburn were also attracted. "Above all there was an objective that made me stay in France and which is close to my heart. If I want to play in Euro 2008 it was better for me to stay at L'OM. "Moreover I didn't want to leave Marseille as a failure. Physically I feel much better, I have almost never felt so well, even during my time at Auxerre. I am not far off being my best." Possibility Cisse, however, has not ruled out a return to England in the future. "I will probably move back to the Premier League, because of football and part of my family lives there and I also because I like the way of life. If I have to leave OM it will be for England," he said. |

Coupe de France this weekend.
vendredi 1er février 2008 20h00 Boulogne-sur-Mer (L2) - Tours FC (Nat) 20h30 à Starsbourg Strasbourg (L1) - Metz (L1) samedi 2 février 2008 16h00 Arles (Nat) - Niort (L2) 17h00 Sochaux (L1) - Montpellier (L2) Lyon-la-Duchère (CFA2) - Lille (L1) Sedan (L2) - Nantes (L2) 18h00 Le Poiré-s/vie (CFA2) - Paris-SG (L1) Paris FC (Nat) - Dijon (L2) 19h00 Amiens (L2) - GFCO Ajaccio (CFA) 20h00 Lorient (L1) - Rennes (L1) Angers (L2) - Nice (L1) Bastia (L2) - Auxerre (L1) 20h45 Bordeaux (L1) - Le Mans (L1) dimanche 3 février 2008 15h00 Carquefou (CFA2) - Nancy (L1) 16h00 Croix-de-Savoie (CFA) - Lyon (L1) 21h00 Marseille (L1) - Monaco (L1) As a competition, it can throw up some real giant killing. Like so much else about french football, it is wildly unpredictable. Some might say that applies to the French as well.... For obscure reasons, I have a soft spot for Angers, so it is nice to see them hosting Nice at the weekend. It should be a nice payday for Croix de Savoie. Bordeaux v Le Mans could be tricky. Le Mans have played above themselves again this season, but they are a solid team and quite good going forward. They've got a great little Japanese guy there called Matsui who always catches my eye when I see them. Then again, that might just be because you don't see that many Japanese players around... Marseille v Monaco is the other glamour tie. Gotta fancy Marseillw for it, I guess, but Piquionne can turn games if he's in the mood. |

As for support away from home, apart from the aforementioned clubs there is next to no following. In many a match, you can literally count the away fans in their enclosure. Unthinkable in England. |

I've never worked out why Lens have such a large and, by all accounts, completely nutty following. Have I missed something? They are probably the closest club to Calais, so the most viable option for anyone wanting to watch french football live to go to.
