THE TRANSFER of Steed Malbranque to Fulham appears to be processing with
undue haste, as the player himself refused to go to Lens with his Lyon team-mates.
Malbranque was due to travel for the first match of Le Championnat season,
but according to the player, he was in negotiation with Fulham and did not
go.
Fulham boss Jean Tigana, is currently in France and travelled to Lyon to
meet up with Jean-Michel Aulas and Bernard Lacombe.
Both parties agreed a fee of around 50 million Francs, although Lacombe,
Lyon's sport director, admitted: "I am personally disappointed. We
really relied on him (Malbranque) and he probably would have increased his
first-team playing time.
"It’s a shame just the day before the start of Le Championnat."
