Alain Roche was repeated in many columns France Football that Jérôme Rothen will not this season, the middle left of the PSG has always desires elsewhere. According to Le Parisien, international should cross the Channel, Monday or Tuesday next, to visit the facilities of Blackburn Rovers. Antoine Kombouaré for its part has never concealed that he wished to Stéphane Sessegnon his new mixer in the corridor left of midfield in Paris.

Alain Roche, head of the recruitment of PSG, may have spoken too soon in the columns of France Football on Tuesday, 4 August. While it indicated that Jérôme Rothen would remain a season more in the colors of the club from the capital, "Jérôme Rothen will be part of the actual Paris this season. He will honor his contract", the situation has slightly decanted since. According to the columns of Paris, the player is expected to reach northern England and Lancashire, next Monday or Tuesday, to visit the facilities of Blackburn Rovers, a modest 15th in the Premier League version 2008-2009.

Rothen has not changed his mind

Wishing to put an end to his experience since the start of Paris, at the end of last season, his coach Paul Le Guen, Jérôme Rothen could draw his bow before August 31 next, when the end of the summer mercato. Tracked by Nice or by the Greek club Panathinaikos and Olympiakos of the former Trojan has always believed that his future was through another club, despite the words of Alain Roche. After a break consumed with the public at the end of last season, the middle left anyway would be hard to go back on the lawn of the Parc des Princes, which is more like Antoine Kombouaré technician. The Kanak, Valenciennes landed at the off, has never hidden his intention of course Stéphane Sessegnon to occupy the left side of the Parisian entrejeu, Giuly taking the right wing and the duo-Hoarau Erding sharing the edge of the attack. If Jérôme Rothen is not banned by his new coach, the player will second knife behind Béninois. Face Fiorentina in the pre-match season, the player did not even part of the group.

If indeed, the PSG has not yet received an offer from a club for international french, it should not delay. Perhaps Alain Roche wanted to press the clubs interested in his players by explaining, again in the semi-weekly columns: "If a deal happens, reflect on and everyone was happy, it would be."

Who Rothen to succeed?

The fact is that Blackburn follows Jérôme Rothen for some time and that his interest is real. Why, otherwise the player would be invited to visit the club? Still under contract for two seasons with the Paris Club, Jérôme Rothen will not be easy to poach. First, because Paris is not a plethora of solutions to take the left side of midfield.

In case of prolonged absence of Stéphane Sessegnon on blow, Péguy Luyindula has evolved in the register, but does not any guarantees. Sylvain Armand could troubleshoot but remains one of the left lateral position while Tripy Makonde, see the last season, and Younouss Sankharé, which could also spin on loan, are still tender to withstand the pressure as a presentation. As for Jeremy Clement, the other left-handed club, he remains a player axial, both in a remote environment in a defensive role of middle torchbearer when Claude Makelele evolving 6. In all cases, it will always be time to think about a possible alternative when Jérôme Rothen has made his choice and when, finally, an offer from another club will hit the desk of Alain Roche
