any idea what happened with hassan chamseddine and sagesse's abroad players? As i heard this guy was a good player.

As it seems 2011-2012 season will be even stronger than the last version! More abroads, strong foreigners and most important thing better preparations. All teams have a clear vision on their future team and started contacting foreigners whereas some countries haven't yet finished their season!
Hopefully new rules concerning youth players would take place especially with the presence of coach ghassan as headcoach of our nt.

is it true that Fadi signed again with Champville for 4 years ? and the penalty fee is up to 400 k ?

[golebanon]

is there any news about the negotiations between sagesse and matt freije?
what about nadim souaid and charle thabet,did they sign for a team?
any update would be appreciated.

Does it really matters how far the negotiations with matt goes?
imo, matt's ID is far from being reached @ this point, and with sagesse's problems on road, i guess it's an impossible dream to aim for.
as for nadim souaid, the guy is under negotiations with sagesse, and another team will join the negotiations with high expectations!

Charles Tabet agreed on all terms with anibal, along side rodrigue akl, and they are expected to sign an official contract by mid this week !
P.S: Anibal will be using hawsh's court for next year ! ( that was one of the conditions the duo tabet and akl asked for to re-new )

thanks for your reply,but what about hawsh,will they withdraw from the league?

[Le MaK]

thanks for your reply,but what about hawsh,will they withdraw from the league?

they are facing some financial problems, but according to charbel dib , hawsh's assistant coach during a conversation in the NT practice, Hawsh will be having a same type of teams like last year.
so i guess they will be the 10th team.

[gazara]

as i head also ,that Hoops Stadium at Airport Road will be finished this summer ,any news about this subject ? also heard that Sagesse will take Murr Stadium next To Geant in Beirut !! this stadium will be the perfect choice for sagesse ,i m sure if they take rthis stadium Full House Every game !!
last year in Ghazir most of the games were full ! so how it will be if Sagesse Stadium was in beirut hope So ,sagesse big Fan base is locate in Beirut !

Murr Stadium can Hold 3500 Spectators ,Beautiful Stadium !

Elie Rustom for Mneimneh and Sabra?

[MALEK]

Elie Rustom for Mneimneh and Sabra?

I prefer Mazen over Elie, Mazen is a great player but his injury affected his performance. Hope he'll be back as before.

[Khalid80]

we should mention that thiago makhluf is a lebanese brasilian abroad player he is 210 cm tall

I remember first hearing about his name from Dani when I first joined here in IBN more than 3 years ago ... So I guess we will finally get the chance to see what his real level is.
I really hope that he's good and can be helpful not only for Champville but also for our NT!
