Luis_Rancagua Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 This article is directly from the local press in Cologne ------------- 28.11.2005 VERSTÄRKUNG FÜR FC Schwappt Sturmtank Occean an den Rhein? Köln – Er stürmt für den norwegischen Erstligisten Odd Grenland und soll schon in Kürze zum Probetraining nach Köln kommen. „Der 1. FC Köln zeigt Interesse an Olivier Occean“, berichtet die seriöse norwegische Zeitung Adressavisen und beruft sich dabei auf eine Bestätigung des Odd-Sportdirektors Lasse Hansen. Der FC auf der Suche nach Verstärkungen. Wird der Klub im hohen Norden fündig? „Wir haben Occean beobachten lassen“, erklärt auch Kölns Manager Andreas Rettig. Von einem Probetraining sei aber noch nicht die Rede. Occean (24), aktueller kanadischer Nationalspieler, ist im Sommer 2006 ablösefrei zu haben. Im Visier der Kölner ist auch Brede Hangeland. Der 24-Jährige gilt als der norwegische Topp-Innenverteidiger und sthet noch bei Viking Stavanger unter Vertrag. Der Nationalspieler, an dem Köln bereits vor einem Jahr Interesse zeigte, wäre aber erst im Winter 2006 ablösefrei zu haben. Gleich mehrere Vereine bemühen sich um Hangeland, darunter der VfL Wolfsburg und Leeds United. http://www.express.de/servlet/Satellite?pagename=XP/index&pageid=1004370693633&rubrik=214&artikelid=1132395288298®id=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FC Cologne shows interest in Olivier Occean ", reports the respectable Norwegian newspaper address advice and appoints themselves thereby to a confirmation of the Odd Sportdirektors leaves Hansen. The FC on the search for reinforcement. Does the club in the high north become fuendig? "we let observe Occean", avowedly also of Cologne manager Andreas Rettig. Is not from a sample training however yet the speech. Occean (24), current Canadian national player, is to be had in the summer 2006 replace-free. In the visor of the Cologners also Brede is slope country. The 24-Jaehrige is considered as the Norwegian Topp Innenverteidiger and still sthet with Viking Stavanger under contract. The national player, at whom Cologne already showed one year ago interest, would be to be had however only in the winter 2006 replace-free.

Guest Ed Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 That translation was entertaining. The 'slope country' bit reports that several clubs are looking at another Norwegian league player, Brede Hangeland, a central defender, including VfL Wolfsburg and Leeds United. The first bit says that FC Koeln is reportedly interested in Occean, as reported already from Norwegian sources. No new news there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hombre Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Out of curiosity, what do they mean when they refer to him as a "Storm Tank". Pretty good nickname, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
