Botia coming back would be very interesting. I reckon I'd be on board with it, provided we, as suggested above, send Fontás out to Sporting. they seem to know what they're doing with defenders. :D

If the club gives Sanchez more chances than Caceres got I'll be pissed.

nah, disagree.

Sanchez will be lower wages, will be totally embedded with his team-mates due to being La Masia, and will be happier playing a handful of games a season. he'd be our John O'Shea. I'd happily see him return to the team. kid plugs numerous gaps and that's a skill often overlooked.

Caceres is too good to be our John O'Shea, and doesn't want to be a squaddie like Keita.

Neuch... what?

Neuchâtel, which sits on Lac Neuchâtel...Gorgeous area but better for him, strong fan base...Often just referred to as Xamax...They're a competitive side in the Super League...Don't have the finances of bigger clubs like Basel or Young Boys but they do play some nice football

Brush up on your French senor

They do now, some billionaire from Chechnya has taken over the club.

Sonny Anderson is their new GM by the way.

Chechen, that's right...There were reports here in Suisse that there were threats against lives of players/managers if they lost the Swiss Cup Final recently (By the ownership) - which they did narrowly lose to Sion...Is there any truth to this new owner being a nutter?

well theres a fantastic article about him and the club in general. Unfortunately its in German, but it realy covers every aspect (his intention, political motives, fanbase, etc.). I'll post it anyway: http://www.kurzpass.ch/Fussball/Super-League/russenfussball-in-neuchatel.html
maybe it's readable if you translate it :p
the article has 5 parts btw, the one above is the first. You can find the second one on his blog. apparently the club's going to be renamed, LOL! Maybe Chagaev FC? lol

Thank God that didn't happen, I would have hated that. I hate the fact that Basel wears nearly the same colors as Barca, them actually having a Barca player would have ruined the super league for me. :p

But Basel & Barca are sister clubs, it only stands to reason that the badges & colors are similar
