We are in talks with JULIEN FAUBERT about a possible move

I am so damn surprised. From where did this come from?! Julien Faubert?!? Apart from knowing that he plays for West Ham I am absolutely clueless about this guy. He was apparently really good in the French league but this move has totally come out of the blue!

Read THIS NOW!

JULIEN FAUBERT

Iain Dale confirms the rumor here.

And for the benefit of those who know him as much as I do…

Julien Faubert

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julien Faubert (born 1 August 1983) is a French footballer who plays for West Ham United as a midfielder.

Club career

Faubert was born in Le Havre and began his footballing career playing for French side Cannes and then moved to Bordeaux in 2004.

West Ham United

On 23 June 2007, it was reported in French sports newspaper L’Équipe that Faubert was on the verge of a €6.5 million (£4.3 million) transfer to Rangers.

However, on 1 July, Faubert was signed by West Ham United for £6.1 million. He suffered a ruptured achilles tendon during a pre-season friendly on 17 July against Czech Republic side Sigma Olomouc, which was expected to take six months to heal. As part of his comeback Faubert turned out for the reserves against Aston Villa’s reserve team in January 2008. He finally made his first team debut for the Hammers as a late substitute against Fulham at Upton Park on 12 January 2008^. His first season in English football was marked by continuing injury and he made only eight appearances in the league and FA Cup. He has recently been used in an unfamiliar right back position.

Faubert was given permission to speak to Real Madrid on 30 January 2009, with a view to him being signed on loan until 30 June for a fee of €1.5 million with an option for Real to purchase him for €6 million.

International career

Faubert made his debut for France on 16 August 2006 against Bosnia and Herzegovina. He marked his first match by scoring in the final minute of the game to ensure France won 2–1.

However this is just a possibility it seems. It might just not happen. But if it does happen what a twist it would be! From Cristiano Ronaldo to Jermaine Pennant to Antonio Valencia to JULIEN FAUBERT!!

But then again we’ll just have to wait and see.

Hala Madrid!!

P.S: This post might just be a little too abstruse. But don’t mind. I really don’t know what to say.
