Oh Dear ... Bolton Take ANOTHER Drubbing!
The France striker claims he had offers from Bolton and Atletico Madrid.
But he admitted the prospect of Champions League football at his home-town club was too good to turn down.
"The situation was clear with Liverpool - they didn't want me to stay and I wasn't going to force them to keep me," he said.
"For me, it was Marseille or nothing. People wanted to send me to Bolton, but I said no.
"To go to a club in the third level of the English (Premier League), that doesn't interest me.
"Here I have less money, but I have the Champions League. Some clubs were offering not far off double the salary but I am from Marseille and I have always supported this club."
Ah well ... them Trotters will be venting their anger again. We've already buttoned down the hatches.
