No Dindane for You!
By: Martha | August 19th, 2008
Nice are still shopping for the mythical New Striker about whom we keep hearing but, if the latest reports can be believed, their list of possibilities just shrunk by one: According to Lens GM Francis Collado, Aruna Dindane will stay at the L2 club at least until the winter transfer window opens, thus ruling out the one name the administration at Nice actually admit to chasing.
Of course, he is too expensive, and won’t be back from injury for several months yet, so having him taken off the table for now is not as disappointing as it would have been were he in a position to play immediately. The fact is, though, that another striker remains really, really important. Or, if you prefer something more moderate, the arrival of one would make everyone feel a lot better about the months ahead — Rémy is great, yeah, but as many (including BordeauxJennifer in the comments here) have pointed out, he’s not made of titanium. What if he gets hurt? Is Modeste going to carry the weight himself? Bamogo?
In good, non-striker news, Nigeria crushed Belgium today in the first Olympic semifinal, so come Saturday, when his Nice teammates are traveling to Auxerre, Apam will be busy trying to stop Kun Agero, Lionel Messi and friends in the gold medal match. Fantastic stuff, that.
