Odds And Ends as Nothing Happens

The white ones don’t look bad from the back, particularly when they’re in a grand setting and say “Rool.”
The team were officially presented to supporters today in a grand ceremony (by which I mean there were men in suits while the team wore tshirts and flip-flops), complete with a big, pretty banner and the promise [...]

Eric Mouloungui is officially Niçoise, to the tune of €2 million and a four-year contract. He’s still a youngster — only 24 — but has to this point never lived up to his potential in Ligue 1, having scored six goals for Strasbourg in over 60 matches during their time at the top level. When [...]

It’s too bad there’s so little to be found about this match, because it sounds [...]
Weekend Reading Material

Inara reminded me about this picture, and it had to be shared.
•Sports.fr just ran a short but typically positive interview with Chouf, who admits he’d be lying if he said he wasn’t worried about the transfer market, but is matter-of-fact about how things work at Nice. Also, he compares his old man self to fine [...]

First Half:
Letizi
Diakité-Hognon-Kanté-Jeunechamp
Echouafni-Fae-Helebuyck
Rémy-Modeste-Bamogo

Dear Nice,
After seeing the kits worn by Austrian club Feldkirchen — featuring advertising not only all over the shirts, but also on the crotch, butt, and front and back both legs — I will never, ever again complain about the very tasteful seven ads on the Nice kits this season. I apologize for ever doubting [...]
Category: Nice Team NewsIt’s Oh So Quiet

See? Without Baky, we’ve got nothing to talk about!
There’s been no movement on Nice’s interest in Dindane (now heavily tipped in the media to go to England, where a lot of clubs are allegedly interested), and the Piquionne story has stalled, as well — the latest news is that he’s rejected both Lille and Rennes, [...]
New Ads, I Mean Kits
By: Martha | 12 Comments
Without much fanfare, the new kits were released on Friday, along with a slew of new sponsors. I love the home ones — narrow stripes are so classic and flattering, though I sort of doubt that was Lotto’s whole goal. And the away ones are nice, I guess, but it’s a bit hard to tell [...]

The Official Bye-Bye Baky Post
By: Martha | 4 Comments
It is accomplished: Baky and Nice reached a compromise on his bonus today, and Baky jumped on a plane for Marseilles to have his medical and put pen to proverbial paper. Whew. (Éric Gerets is well pleased.)
The way he left aside, Baky was a great servant to the club. He arrived from L’Orient for €2.5 [...]
