How many months will we have to wait for him to get fit and then gel with the team?

Thought the transfer window had closed and you couldnt get loanees in for a couple of weeks or am I wrong?

A free agent? Now, there''s a surprise.

Is he a free agent though?The wikipedia entry says he is contracted to June 2008 - ???

[Citizen Journalist Foghorn 0]

apparantly there is no mention of him on the lucerne club website.

[The Saturday Boy 0]

I''m more interseted in the fact he palyed for "Manchester Town Centre" and suffered a descent whilst playing for Sainte Etienne. Good band they were. Did he play bass?

[Grando 283]

The ''Manchester Town Centre'' thing isn''t a mistake but actually the name of the side Mettomo played for in the Rochdale and District Sunday League (Division 3) - not Manchester City as some people have suggested.

It''s a very competitive league though so I''m sure he''ll fit in well here and do a good job.

I''ve also heard rumours we''re after a winger PG has spotted playing for Taunton Town in Division 1 (South and West) of the British Gas Business Football League. Fingers crossed on that one!

He''s no longer at Luzern, apparently he is now playing in Israel for Ironi Kiriat Shmona.

This is a Mystery!

I cant hold my excitement!

Will he sign? Who is he? Where does he play?

Mettomo''s a great name, i can feel a song coming on.

[Alan_Grey 0]

We must sign this player with 1 gate in the Prime Minister league [:|]

[Time to go Delia 0]

Yes Nutty Dublin was a free agent and the fact that he is the best player at the club at 39 years of age says an awful lot about Norwich City and the mess this club are in .

Pourquoi ce site ? (Site non officiel)

Tout simplement pour faire découvrir au grand public ce fabuleux joueur qu''est Lucien Mettomo. Dans les rues de Douala il impressionnait déjà par son physique. Le centre de formation de l''AS Saint Etienne a fait émerger ses qualités footballistiques naturelles qui ont fait de lui l''un des piliers de l''équipe première de ce club légendaire.

Dans les travées de Geoffroy Guichard, tout le monde se souvient encore, entre autre, de ses tacles autoritaires, de ses montées de balles ravageuses et de son jeu de tête efficace. Tout ceci lui a permis de devenir un titulaire indiscutable chez les lions indomptables.

Malheureusement, certains entraîneurs ont décidé ces derniers temps de ne pas lui faire totalement confiance, mais Lucien prend son mal en patience et est prêt à rugir de nouveau !

Et comme dit un proverbe camerounais : Même si l''éléphant est maigre, il reste le roi de la forêt.

Why have this unofficial site?

Simply so the wider public can discover the fabulous player that is Lucien Mettomo. On the streets of Douala he stood out due to his physique. The AS St Etienne academy has helped bring out his natural footballing qualities which have made him a cornerstone of the the first team, of this legendary club.

In the stands of the Geoffrey Guichard stadium everyone still remembers his strong tacles, his rampaging forward runs, and his effective heading. All these qualities have helped him to become an undisputed member of the indomitable lions.

Unfortunately certain managers have recently not given him their full backing, but Lucien takes this setback with patience, and is ready to roar again!

As the Cameroon proverb goes: Even if the elephant is thin, he stays king of the forest.

Off topic but are you phrankin on the WOTB?

There also seem to be a few comments on that site from Nantes fans (also the Canaries) who can''t wait for him to join their team to help them get promotion back to the top French league. I wonder if there has been a mix up somewhere.

My friend is an Arsenal fan who was just happened to be on the beers in Jarrold Hospitality talking to the player (and some NCFC directors/bigwigs (AKA thickos))after the game.  So nothing has changed.
