Liverpool given fresh hope in chase for Fanni

[Bryan_Munich]

Liverpool’s hopes of signing Rennes right-back Rod Fanni have been given a boost with the news that a proposed move to Marseille looks likely to fall through.

Fanni is one of the best right-backs in the French top division and has forced his way into the French national team over the past couple of years, making five appearances for them so far.

The attacking-minded defender has been watched closely by Liverpool of late, with Roy Hodgson travelling to France to watch him play against Auxerre last month. With Hodgson having had a public disagreement with Glen Johnson recently, speculation increased over Fanni's arrival at Liverpool.

However, Marseille have also been linked with Fanni for some time and indicated a few days ago that they expected to tie up a deal for the 29-year-old.

Now, the French champions have revealed that they have been unable to push through a deal for Fanni, leaving the door open for Liverpool.

Marseille chairman Jean-Claude Dassier told RMC, "Today we can only be pessimistic,

"Fanni's agent is being irrational and it is doubtful a deal will now be done.

"I can't see any way it could be completed, except if the player decides to manage himself in a reasonable way."

Is this guy any good?

Celtic were linked with him at one time IIRC.

£5m for fanni is a bit much.

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

£5m for fanni is a bit much.

Mr Rooney would approve.

 

[Kraftwerker]

Probably the only time some fanni would choose to be in Liverpool rather than Marseille.

 

[rednev]

This guy has to come to the Premier League.

 

[Makki]

Mr Rooney would approve.

He definitely stuck his Rod in the wrong Fanni...

[Nani Nana]

Fantastic source, given Fanni just signed for Marseille

 

[MacMUFC]

Mr Rooney would approve.

Quite likely. Personally, I think fanni is overrated...

 

[Decotron]

Chasing fanny is one thing, knowing what to do when you get it is another.

 

[Snow]

Shouldn't they be looking for a left back?

 

[Xander45]

Fanni's agent is being irrational and it is doubtful a deal will now be done.

Must be that time of the month.

 

[SharkyMcShark]

I thought he was due at OM for a medical like today?

 

[kouroux]

He's shit.What a relief Marseille aren't focusing on him anymore.He was asking for too much money the greedy cnut.
He's really an average RB, the typical players that suits Liverpool these days (just like Poulsen,Jovanovic,Maxi Rodriguez)

 

[Allforone]

Could you imagine if he were in the premier league the nightmare the commentators would have with him?

"And here comes Nani, he dribbles past Johnson comes inside Fanni and scorrrrrreess!!!!"

Its just wrong.

 

[golden_blunder]

[kouroux]

Fantastic source, given Fanni just signed for Marseille

Theres something fishy about this story as Fanni is a bit of a slippery cnut!

 

[Flying Fox]
