Faubert Is Next Madrid God?

Posted by Juan Arango

If there is one thing that I have learned is that history is a series of sequences in human existence that have repeated themselves time and time again because of our thick-headedness.

If my calculations are correct, Julien Faubert could be the next idol of Real Madrid. Ok, he was a Plan T after they failed to get Wigan's Valencia (actually Vicente Boluda was promised a lifetime supply of Guinness if he accepted the option to buy after Faubert's six -month loan expires) but that is neither here nor there.

Faubert Arrives In Madrid On Loan

Posted by Juan Arango

Real Madrid found a provisional solution at right midfield by obtaining the services of French international Julien Faubert on a six-month loan but the Merengues have the option to buy him from West Ham United for an estimated six million euros.

Faubert began his career playing for French side Cannes and then moved to Bordeaux. In 2005, West Ham beat out Rangers for the Frenchman's services and began to establish himself in the Hammers lineup. In a preseason match in 2007 against Czech side Sigma Olomouc he tore his Achilles' tendon. The injury kept him out of the lineup for well over six months. This season, Faubert has only been able to play in eight matches this year for West Ham this season, but that has mostly been attributed to a rash of injuries that he has gone through so far.

This year he made the adjustment to from right back to right midfield and has made the switch quite impressively.

Faubert was the Plan B after Wigan's Luis Antonio Valencia became too expensive for Madrid.
