Ted E Bayer 544 Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 If there's any truth in the rumour he's coming to us, he'll be coming as a winger. No doubt about it. It sends a serious message to Burkey too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny 9 Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 BBC say he's a winger,and Sky he's a defender. Equally good as both. Apparently prefers the RB position though. Not that it matters - if he's good enough to play for Bordeaux in the CL as a winger, he's good enough to play for US as a winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KERRZO 5 Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 This has to be the funniest rumour so far this Summer Whys that then? Most French based players would be attracted to Rangers because the money in France aint as good as the cash youll get at Rangers plus we are in the champions league!!!

FlippinEck 3,853 Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 well guys, heres the low down on him from a french guy from another forum im onThat's excellent news for you. Faubert is really young, really fast (we call him the TGV, which means "train à grande vitesse" because he is super fast), and very versatile. He's certainly not the most technical player, but he has been improving. His biggest strength is his speed; his acceleration is incredible and it's what enables him to score and get past so many defendersAs for where he can play, like I said, he is very versatile. One of the reasons I value him so much is because he can play as an attacking MF and as RB. He came to Bordeaux as a RB, but then he got converted to a MF, so now he can play in both positions.Anyway, L'Equipe is reporting that he has almost signed with Rangers:QUOTELes Bordelais ont la cote en Ecosse. Après Jean-Claude Darcheville, c'est Julien Faubert qui devrait rejoindre les Glasgow Rangers. Un temps annoncé en Italie, le milieu international des Girondins est sur le point de s'engager avec le vice-champion d'Ecosse pour quatre ans et demi. Selon L'Equipe, samedi, le montant du tranfert avoisinerait 6,5 millions d'euros. Julien Faubert était à Bordeaux depuis trois saisons.It basically says that Faubert is on the verge of signing with Rangers for four years and a half. The sum is said to be 6,5 million euros, which I think is a reasonable amount for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is no bad thing if he uses it properly. And besides, he's only 23, and as the above says, 'improving' which implies he could develop into a fantastic player over the next few years.
