VillaChris Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Was a good move for him in the end. Has been a regular for them and they should be in CL next season regardless of what they do in europa. I imagine growing up in Southern France Marseille is a club he'd have dreamed to have played for. I think the fact Sevilla were also interested indicates his reputation in europe was intact from his spell here and people remembered the potential he showed at Nice. We signed him a few years too late I'm afraid, same with Gana. He would've set up a load of goals for Benteke with his crosses given Gestede scored from 3 of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but "should be in CL next season" is not true at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Watched a fair bit of the French league this season and Lyon been pretty inconsistant and not great defensively so Marseille I reckon will finish ahead of them. With the draw today they should be in final of europa league aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Marseille were absolutely no match for Madrid. Arsenal were more of a match than Marseille were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see the game but was anyone expecting anything else? They are the 4th best team in France according to the league table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they played alright bar really obvious mistakes but, eventually, Atletico's quality shone through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayls Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 He was one of my favourite Jordans during that particular period. Thought he was doing well at Marseille though so surprised he has gone out on loan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he was doing well at Marseille though so surprised he has gone out on loan? Admittedly I don't watch a lot of French football, but it looks like he was their starting LB last season then got a couple of big injuries, and by the time he was back to full fitness, Marseille had a new manager that didn't use full backs, so he's had limited time and had to fill in at CB and LM. Also, Nice are above them in the table and just sold their LB to Watford, so not exactly a bad move for him, plus it's where he started at before coming to us, so probably just a case of a Win-Win-Win for all involved.
