Author Topic: Stern John reportedly a target for Paris St. Germain (Read 6410 times)

It was reported in one of the tabloid papers here in London today, that PSG are to make a "shock move for Coventry's Stern John in January" or words to that effect

There were no other details, the story was literally one sentence in the Football shorts section

Good news for Stern, If this is true, he would be a very well travelled local footballer

This is good news if it were actually true but like somebody say it would have real transfer rumours coming up to the tranfers window opening in january but any move for stern where he could get playing time is good news for T&T

vibes it up stern

Wednesday's rumours
By James Dart (Guardian Unlimited)

Intriguingly, the World Cup striker on Paris St Germain's mind is ... Coventry 'hitman' Stern John. That's right, the Soca Warrior himself could be in line for a £250,000 switch across the Channel. Heading the other way could be Lens forward Olivier Thomert, currently the object of Manchester City's affection.

I some how find that hard to believe... If it is true, then big up sterny

TrinInfinite · « **Reply #8 on:** December 21, 2005, 12:47:18 PM »

well he will b playing regularly, so dis is a good ting

Could be a blessing...but it could just as easily be a curse

250,000 pounds is peanuts for a man who is supposedly Premiership quality. Stern' sale sounds like a makeweight to lessen the cost of moving an unhappy striker from PSG. Why do you think the striker wants to leave? because PSG plays with 1 forward...and that is Pauleta. He gets support from attacking midfielders Rothen and Kalou. I doh see the system changing and none of them men getting drop for Stern.

Who knows...for now it sounding like a rumor...whatever happens I hope is best for Stern

anyone know french as I cant find any info about this
i think we all need the facts
Thanks

My French is hardly fluent but I know enoough to get by. There is no mention on that site of Stern John or any other possible transfer targets. That is not unusual as official club sites almost never notify the public of their transfer targets, unless it's a really top player (for example, Barcalona's interest in T. Henry) Usually they prefer to keep such matters behind closed doors so as not to comprimise any possible negotiations/

I've just taken a quick look at the L'Equipe website and again there's no mention of the Stern John story/rumour. However, there was an article about Pauleta injuring his back in training last week and is doubtful for this weekend. Although, the tone of the article didn't suggest that the injury was a long-term concern...

And in reply to your earlier question, I think it was the Daily Star but it might have been the Daily Mirror (neither of which are hardly a beacon for English Journalism)

i reeeel hope he get thru bcuz psg is 6th in the french league and 1 point seperates them from the 2nd place team IE everybody else have d same number of points...The team that is leading is lyon but nobody going to catch them cuz dey ahead by bout 12points or sumtin........ pauleta is having a good season but needs help up front bcuz the one striker tactics not working for psg....

With that said stern is goin to have to work reeeeeeel hard to get into the startin line up....anyone who looks at french football cud tell u that. The good thing tho is that he will get alot of balls to his feet but he gonna have to really step up his work rate to get into the starting line up........ dat french league is reel pace but it is very much his style

Trini Madness · « **Reply #19 on:** December 21, 2005, 01:39:18 PM »

OutsideMan · « **Reply #27 on:** December 21, 2005, 07:03:14 PM »

Well if it's true, I think it should be a great move. The English style of play really doesn't suit most players from Concacaf and South America. The Spanish, Portuguese, and to a lesser extent the French style suits our players well.

No sour grapes at all, but I was never a big admirer of the English and their "exciting" style of play anyway.

Won any World Cups lately, England?

My 2 cents
