Following a stint in Scotland with Kilmarnock and China with Cosko Shanghai, Red Stars' former striker SAMUEL BOUTAL, who also played for Caen and Troyes is back in France. He will play in the National with Reims under ex-Calais coach Ladislas Lozano. Meanwhile, TAREK BOUABDELLAH has left Dijon to join Romorantin. PATRICK GUILLOUX, currently out of work, was the victim of an injury picked up whilst playing for a team of out-of-contract players.

A serious blow for the young man in question. LINK. The best Red Star FC 93 site on the web www.allezrdstar.com is featured on the Saint-Ouen town web site: www.ville-saint-ouen.fr.

As you may have noticed, our hosts have decided to put a strip of adverts down the right hand side of the page, which is well within their rights. So, we have decided to move to a pay host, Lycos. However, various technical problems have plagued the site set up, none of which are down to us, and at the moment we have had no response whatsoever from Lycos, despite having forked our money out !! In the meantime, please bear with us, and the horrible publicity. At the end we will offer a super fantastic service for our super fantastic site. RED STAR IN THE PRESS.

AT THE ILE DES VANNES. Friday evening, just after 6pm CET, Luis Fernandez turned up at the Ile des Vannes even before the players who had been invited to a pre-season trials session. More than thirty players turned up, and played three periods of thirty minutes on the synthetic pitch. In the absence of Pascal Grosbois, Mustapha Ousfane and Djamel Badoud (last seasons' reserve team coach), under the watchful eye of Luis Fernandez, supervised the session. The players represented various levels of skill, such as ex-CFA 2 players Ryad Fellahi (ex-Red Star) and Fabrice Tayau (Aubervilliers) as well as other lower leagues.     Luis Fernandez (with Ousfane) and the triallists OH FERNANDEZ ?. Some of the kids from the local estates were surprised by the presence of Luis Fernandez. "What's the Paris SG coach doing here ?" TURNOUT. Nearly a hundred spectators witnessed the training session. Almost as good as Real Madrid with Beckham ! The general mood was good humour, and to continue the positive change of feelings at the club, new president Eric Charrier as well as several other club directors were present. A change indeed from recent seasons. Another interested spectator was Samuel Lobé, formerly with Créteil. Mr Charrier, recently confirmed by the FFF conference at Strasbourg, was watched closely by no less than two representatives of the written press.     Eric Charrier with Samuel Lobé and Ryad Fellahi, in action on Friday
