Sacha called the loan on this, Fabrizio said permanent.

Club have said it's a loan and nothing else but I believe there is either an option or even an obligation to buy in the summer

He's probably seen the state of the roadworks and also heard how long it's taking.

What's the correct way to pronounce his surname?

Think he looks more like O’Shea ,but like a few of the squad needs to go on the weights.

The post Montpellier have put on about him leaving isn’t a post for a player you expect to be coming back in the summer

Doesn't look like his club think he's going back
Arriving at the club at the age of 12, a pure product of the Training Center, the MHSC thanks Maxime for his unfailing involvement throughout his years in orange and blue and wishes him the best for the rest of his career.
Good luck to you Max!

As MDWat said it's Eh-stev because of the grave accent - on Clarets+ they've got it wrong and referred to him as Estéve

Welcome to Burnley.
Just glad he managed to sign before the French farmers close the country down.

We look a bit top heavy with centre backs now. I make it 6, 7 if you count McNally. Big summer ahead at present the squad is a bit of a bloated mess.

Just seen his interview,spoke entirely in French ,don’t think SD would have coped with that ,as Del Boy would say “Mon Blanche”

Is he definitely going to play CB?
Is he a potential LB? I mean we have 100's of CB's, but only 1 LB, who is currently crocked!

Looks like we will utilise Taylor, Delcroix and Al Dakhil.

I actually like the look of this guy - seems very happy to be here which is always a big plus. Could tell in his interview that it wasn't the usual regurgitated monotone drone that you usually expect from players that have had extensive media training, even if he was speaking in en français.

His English may be perfectly adequate for football purposes, even if he isn't confident enough to use it for press interviews.

After Taylor, and probably after Delcroix and Al Dakhil too but we need a serious upgrade in this position for the PL.
