Makoun has signed for Lyon, or is on the verge of doing so, according to l'Equipe. Do try and keep up.

You recommend virtually every player in Ligue 1. This makes being right very easy.

Another Scoutingmanagement recommendation signs for our rivals! It is once again sad to see, but it is true. We never act in time, and let the players slip away, because we are too late.

Nope, never ever, not even with Modric... :wink:

You know, Spursking, Makoun's been a Lyon player for several days now.

I thought scouts were usually up to date with the latest wheelings and dealings...

I know that Makoun is a Lyon player now, and Lyon have always been clever in the transfermarket (the last few years). Now they have got former Lille mananger Claude Puel, and that was one of the main reasons why Makoun signed for them.

When I said - Lets hope we will get Makoun, then, it was ironic. (Another player we miss out to sign).

(Dont get me wrong here - We have signed good players like Modric and Dos Santos, and even Mpoku, so I am happy with those signings. )

Last year it was Sagna, and the previous years it was the likes of Diaby, Adebayor, etc....

Lets hope we can snatch Makoun, then!!

It isn't a case of not acting in time, but a simple case of that unlike on computer games, in the real world, clubs don't sell their best young talent, just because an offer comes in. Nasri has been one of the most well known talents in world football since he was 16. It's only now that Marseilles are prepared to sell him.

It was the same with Kalou, when he was at Feyenord. they said they wouldn't sell him and he said on numerous occassions that he wouldn't leave until he had his Dutch citizenship issue's sorted out. Yet you kept on insisting that we should buy him. Like Nasri, he wasn't for sale.

No, it wasn't ironic. You didn't know. Stop making stuff up.

You're so full of shit. Get your medication sorted out - you're getting delusional again.

If only we'd acted quicker and snapped up French league gems like BAE and Zoko Pops before they slipped through our fingers.

Sky Sports reporting that the deal has not been finalised. Guessing it's a last minute hitch which will get sorted, but pretty amusing if it fell through
