Nigerian left-back Taiye Taiwo blasts president of former club, Marseille

Nigerian left-back Taye Taiwo has blamed Vincent Labrune, president of his former club, Olympique Marseille for their lack of progress. Taiwo joined Marseille in 2005 at the age of 20 and left in May 2011 to AC Milan.

He won the Ligue 1 title with the side during his six-year stay.Marseille have struggled this season in the Ligue 1, currently in 12th position and the left back who now plays for Finnish club HJK Helsinki says the club's lack of vision in the transfer window is the reason.“I am struggling to understand how he makes a call when he signs a player. After two good games, he brings them to Marseille for €17 million. It is not possible,” the former Super Eagles star told So Foot.

“You simply cannot let Dimitri Payet go. The same applies to André Ayew, Mathieu Valbuena or André-Pierre Gignac. It doesn’t make any sense,” Taiwo added.
