César Azpilicueta

Is that an official Marseille website? Curious as to reliability, I'm not overly familiar with the French Press...

No that is a fan site. Similar to our "WeAin'tGotNoHistory.com'.

Micah Richards as a back up plan???

This guy would be immense for us.

[Spike 12,049]

Richards is powerhouse on the attack, but I'm not sold on his defending.

[J.F. 1,484]

At the end Ferreira will be our righ back back up.

[Beigl 1,387]

Azpilicueta would be a good back up for Ivanovic,but i think Marseille demanding too much money,so Chelsea should set the priorities to Mathieu Debuchy

Debuchy seem hell bent on going to Newcastle. And apparently, he's second in our RB target list with Azpilicueta being the first.

Roberto di Matteo has been encouraged by the pre-season performances of Sam Hutchinson and Paulo Ferreira but a new right-back will also be targeted after José Bosingwa's departure in the summer, with Marseille's Spanish defender César Azpilicueta a likely purchase.

he himself sets his sights on staying with OM. So a) test the waters with increased bid and convince him to come spot some alternatives c) stick with Paulo and Sam

The question is in case of a) Can we actually provide him a decent perspective in terms of 1st team action. As for Think there is no alternatve to Debuchy then c) In case Iva gets injured, is Sam good enough to fill the void? I have seen every minute of first-team action the boy has played, but i answer that.

Looks like he's ours.

Marseille are about to sign Boenisch on a free. He can play right or left back.

He's too good for Marseille to just be a back-up option, and they can't afford to have him AND Cesar on their wage bill.

@CarloFan: Marseille president Vincent Labrune has confirmed they have had a "serious approach" from Chelsea for Azpilicueta. (Foot Mercato) #CFC

@CarloFan: Foot Mercato also say Kakuta could be used in negotiations between Marseille and Chelsea for Azpilicueta. #CFC

Sounds good to me!

[Heisenberg 1,824]

FootMercato , its not very credible source , exactly like Goal.co or TribalFootball.

Sebastian Boenish? After the injury he plays like total shit..

In the Bundesliga, yes, but Marseille were awful last season, and Ligue 1 is quite a step down from the Bundesliga, so I'm expecting him to actually be one of their better players next season.

OM: Chelsea still wants Azpi

According to President Labrune, the Spanish right side this Olympics is the subject of a " serious approach "from the European Champion title.
