Lyon to offer £7M for Barcelona striker Gudjohnsen
tribalfooball.com - August 19, 2007

Olympique Lyon are launching a bid for Barcelona striker Eidur Gudjohnsen.
Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas is ready to offer £7 million for the Iceland international, who has seen interest from West Ham United cool in recent days.

Aulas fancies Gudjohnsen as a replacement for want-away Brazilian striker Fred.

Agent: No Lyon contact for Roma's Mancini

The agent of Roma midfielder Amantino Mancini insists there's been no contact with Olympique Lyon.

Gilmar Veloz said: "We have never had contact with Lyon. I believe they're trying to set something up with Roma, but we have never dealt with them. Mancini has a contract with the Giallorossi."

Asked about Mancini's contract, Veloz added: "There's no rush, the club will decide when to start negotiations."

Fans of arch rivals Paris St Germain and Marseille are finally united - although it is mostly in grief, at the respective performances of their sides in the French first division.

Both sides suffered defeats at the hands of Bordeaux and Auxerre respectively, while six-time champions Lyon missed the chance to close the gap on leaders Nancy after snatching a draw at home against Lille.

Bordeaux were one of the biggest winners on Sunday, their 2-0 defeat of PSG at the Parc des Princes leaving them in second spot only a point behind Nancy who top the table on 19 thanks to only one defeat from eight games.

Another unfashionable club, Valenciennes, sit in third with Lyon in fourth a further point behind.

After a glaringly ineffectual performance against Barcelona in the Champions League left the French champions with a 3-0 defeat, Lyon are looking for answers from their coach Alain Perrin.

A lacklustre first half performance from Perrin's men left Lille with a 1-0 half-time lead after Michel Bastos picked up a poor clearance in the Lyon area to drive the ball into the top corner of the net.

Bastos twice came close to earning his second goal early in the second half, but Lyon eventually awoke and after several spurned chances finally levelled the scores through Sidney Govou in the 59th minute.

On Saturday Nancy did enough to ensure their leader's mantle for another week, though their victory came late and was thanks to Moroccan international Youssouf Hadji.

Hadji took another step away from the limelight of his older brother Mustapha with two headed goals in the 81st and 87th minutes to give Nancy a 2-0 win over Lorient.

Hadji's dream is to one day play in the English Premiership, where brother Mustapha plied his trade with Coventry City and Aston Villa.

But Nancy will be hoping he goes nowhere fast after he pounced late in a match which could have gone either way.

Nancy coach Pablo Correa admitted that a half-time pep talk had done the trick.

"At half-time I told the guys to start playing ugly, to move up a notch. That's what they did, and it helped us grab two great goals," he said.

"Playing great football doesn't interest me if we don't get the result we want. But the start we have had to the season is great."

The future of Marseille coach Albert Emon meanwhile is in the balance after the perennial title challengers suffered their fourth defeat of the season with a 2-0 reverse at Auxerre.

The match started embarrassingly for Marseille, and just got worse.

Having arrived with only one strip, which happened to be white and the same as the home colours of Auxerre, the visitors had to borrow a different set of strips from their hosts in order to play the game.

Marseille's woes deepened when Daniel Niculae drove Benoit Pedretti's pass at the back post home for the opener in the 18th minute.

Marseille had claimed a 2-0 win over Besiktas in the Champions League in midweek but the reality of domestic football soon came back to haunt them when Niculae grabbed his second only six minutes later.

Olympique Lyonnais were held to a draw by LOSC Lille Métropole on Sunday, missing the chance to close the gap on Ligue 1 leaders AS Nancy-Lorraine as Girondins de Bordeaux edged into second.

Lyon frustrated
The French champions, still smarting from defeat in the UEFA Champions League against FC Barcelona four days earlier, found themselves behind again 17 minutes into their meeting with Lille after Michel Bastos found the net for the visitors. Lyon, who have already tasted defeat twice in the league this season, would not finish empty handed however as Sidney Govou claimed an equaliser just short of the hour. It was a point that moved Lyon into fourth in the standings, while Lille languish in 14th.

Bordeaux on form
Bordeaux moved to within a point of Nancy after a 2-0 victory at Paris Saint-Germain FC. It took the visitors just ten minutes to seiz the initiative as Johan Micoud opened his account for the campaign. Bordeaux's only defeat this season came at the hands of surprise package Le Mans UC 72 on 15 August and they made sure they were not going to add to that solitary blemish when David Bellion doubled the lead a minute into the second period. Elsewhere, FC Sochaux-Montbéliard got their first victory of the season as a 2-0 away win against Stade Rennais FC - thanks to goals by Stéphane Dalmat and Mickaël Isabey - lifted them off the bottom of the table.
