Ed002, I've heard from someone today (nobody in the know, just a French guy at work) that Liverpool want to sign Kevin-George N'Koudou and Nicolas N'Koulou both of Marseille.

I'm sure you mentioned one of these guys in your summary so does this have any realistic possibility?

{Ed002's Note - Georges-Kevin N'Koudou of Marseille is perhaps a youngster who will move in the summer toone of the many clubs who have looked at him - including Crystal Palace, Valencia, Southampton, West Ham, Liverpool and Manchester United. Marseille would certainly be open to a very high and over the odds offer.}

N'koulou was looked at by a number of sides including Arsenal, Lyon, Norwich, West Ham and Napoli with a view to a summer 2015 move. Marseille did expect interest from Lyon to lead to an offer but they may well be hedging their bets to pick him up when his contract runs out in the summer of 2016. Four clubs held discussions with Marseille that could have lead to an offer being made in January to take the player. Roma were very keen on adding another centre back in January, Chelsea who had been having on-going discussions over two other matters with MArseille, Spurs who were non-committal and Lazio. Lazio have told Marseille that they are looking for a pre-contract agreement to take the player when he is out of contract in the summer - but Marseille explained he would be available for a small fee in January if they were interested - but they weren't. Leicester, Inter, Schalke, Valencia, Manchester United, Everton, Norwich and Arsenal have watched the player this season and it is not out of the question that one could step in and make an offer - my ex-wife suggests that Leicester are likely to make an offer but is surprised that no one has already sought a pre-contract agreement with him.}

"very high and over the odds offer"

Sounds about right, i expect him to be at Liverpool for pre-season.

Cheers Ed. I'll have to watch some of Marseille. I follow Lyon mainly in that league so I've not seen N'Koudou play much. The only other team I've made an effort to watch is Lorient because of Guerreiro. I see N'Koudou has 10 goals this season though which is a decent return for a 21 year old.

{Ed002's Note - You might want to take a look at Monaco as well as Liverpool have been looking at Mbappe - although other sides are already talking to MOnaco about options for the youngster.}

Ahh sweet. I will do Ed. Not sure I've ever seen Mbappe play before. I saw Monaco vs Lyon earlier in the season but I can't even recall him being in the squad.

{Ed002's Note - He is very young and has just really come out of the academy - but there is serious interest in him.}

I know we live in a world where same-sex marriage is becoming more normal, but I think the telling point in Enigmatic Ed002's response is the short phrase, "my ex-wife! "

Who cares about the damn players! Have we finally uncovered the answer to a question that has plagued and vexed this site for so long?

Heh heh. 😉.

"My ex-wife". is this the same lovely French lady who worked at Marseille that Ed002 referred to months ago? O. o.
