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, [...]
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 [...]
Your Daily Baky Update (Plus)

I’m starting to worry now that once the Baky saga is over, there will be nothing to talk about — maybe I don’t want it to end, after all …
There are, however, a couple minor, non-Baky things going on today. First, even though there has been some conversation this summer about Anthony Mounier moving to [...]
Counting Down to the Official Bye-Bye Baky Post (+ a Friendly)
By: Martha | 11 Comments
As Magnusson has already reported, things started moving again last night between Nice and OM (what with July 15 being Maurice Cohen’s designated Transfer Witching Hour and all), and it sounds like the Koné deal is all but done. According to widespread press reports, Marseille are now offering most of what Nice demanded right before [...]

So, Baky’s back and everything’s pretty much the same as it was last week: He’s training with his teammates, is still a Nice player, and Cohen is again making noises about needing an agreement with OM tomorrow or the door is closed. (This after already closing the door once.) At the same time, though, he’s [...]
Baky’s Back

Apparently one of the symptoms of gastroenteritis is a shocking new haircut, but other than that it’s business as usual.

This picture is unrelated to anything.
•The only eye-witness report of last night’s match that I can find is here. It doesn’t sound like it was as big of a debacle as the scoreline suggests, but it’s hard for me to tell because Google translate really wrecks havoc with the story. In good news, Remy reportedly [...]

•Get used to me posting random pictures of Cyril #1.
•Things are bad with Koné — as I said in the comments last night, when player and club are having virtual arguments via their respective websites and battling for the title of Guy With the Shiniest Halo, it’s rarely a good sign. Cohen has made the [...]
Putting a Presidential Foot Down (Nicely, Of Course)
By: Martha | 8 Comments
I put off posting this morning on the foolish assumption that something would be resolved on the Baky Kone front by early afternoon, my time. Ok, so the Nice board meeting to consider the most recent negotiations scheduled for yesterday was pushed to this morning — that’s still plenty of time for the news to [...]
