Brother Camara: I join you and others in saying "thanks" to Katim Touray for all the invaluable services he rendered while he was in charge. In my view, in general terms, Katim did do a very good job for all of us, and I wish to take the opportunity to wish him success in his new endeavours. As for Momodou Camara, I am confident that he'll even live up BEYOND expectations. I know that for a fact, because I am also on another list (GESO) which is being efficiently run by Brother Camara! Sisters Awa, Ndey & Soffie: Gambia-L, I have to say that these are Sisters I have the greatest respect and admiration for, and I am more delighted, that than they are now part of the management of Gambia-L. Let's all give them some applause and, of course, not forgetting Sister Sarian Loum who has been a list manager(ess) for quite a some time now. Sarian & Tony Loums: I was thrilled to be told that Remi Carayol, the successful Gambian-British entrepreneur, is actually your first cousin. By the way, I have been having a very schedule of late, and likewise Remi Carayol. But soon I'll interview him and share his experiences and business savvy with the L, especially the two of you, being his first cousins. Ebrima Ceesay Birmingham, UK PS: Omar Drammeh in Norway: Are you there? Well, football...football...football!! The European Soccer Championship is almost here; so your thoughts! By the way, BBC CEEFAX or Teletext reported yesterday, that both Frank Lobeouf and Gianfranco Zola would be leaving your team, Chelsea, this Summer to join NAPOLI of Italy. It seems some of the big named players would be leaving Chelsea this Summer. French Captain Didier Deschamps is likely to leave Chelsea and Marcel Desailly is, as I write this piece, being linked with a move to Manchester United. Manchester United want a top class defender for next season and, as a result, they tried to buy England defender Sol Campbell, but his Club Tottenham Hotspur, are not willing to sell him (Sol). So Manchester are now trying to get Desailly. In fact, Desailly's agent, Pape Diouf, did confirm the other day, that United approached him for Desailly. Chelsea did buy the former Leeds striker, Jimmy Hasselbank, for £14 million pounds the other day; so most likely Chris Sutton would also leave Chelsea at the Summer. Sutton couldn't even make the England Squad for the European Championship. Jimmy Hasselbank was also not picked by Coach Frank Rijkaard in the Dutch Squad. By the way, Chelsea Manager Vialli wants to buy Finidi George of Nigeria who had a poor season in Spain, but his club, Real De Betis, are asking £3 million for Finidi which is a lot, according to Chelsea. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
