One thing I've never been clear on with these loans including an option - does it mean that Marseille deciding to sign him overrides any decision from LFC to try and bring him back?

I'd like to think that a year with more regular first team action would raise his level, and it'd be a shame if he then left the club a better player than when he signed.

As it stands though, I can't say I'm too gutted to see him go. Three games aside, he's been very disappointing.

Cheyrou moves to Marseille

Liverpool's French midfielder Bruno Cheyrou has joined Marseille on loan.
The 26-year-old Cheyrou, who has agreed a one-year loan deal, failed to establish himself at Liverpool.

He said: "I had to see if I wanted to opt to stay under a new coach or if I wanted to go to another club. So I opted for a change."

"Jose Anigo (Marseille coach) told me that he really wanted me to play. It was good to know that a coach was really counting on me."

Cheyrou added: "For two years I haven't been spoilt on that front."

Anigo said that he was counting on Cheyrou to strengthen the Marseille midfield.

"He has a good left foot, he's athletic, able to score with headers. He's looking for revenge after his two seasons at Liverpool and his fighting words are good to hear."

Marseille have an option to buy Cheyrou after the year's loan.

Cheyrou was never premiership material. Send him back to France.

Last year it was easy for the media (and fans) to put the blame for all our failings on "Diouf Diou and Cheyrou"- even though two of the three hardly got a kick. Meanwhile we played an unfit and disinterested MO for half the season.
My guess is we will see Cheyrou playing for France in the World Cup in Germany. Bon chance/Good luck Bruno.

Well, I really hope Bruno can proof me wrong but I doubt he is really that good. Its really surprising to me that there is actually demand for player such as Bruno. I guess the most important thing in his resume is he speak french....

Be fair the man was never given a chance!
When he did score goals he still wasnt allowed a good run in the team!
I think he has ability and wish him all the best!
Its not his falt that he was brought to Liverpool to be an expensive seat warmer!
As per many more in the LFC Squad presently!

Result
We dont have him hanging about on the bench or the squad and he can get regular first team football and european games and if he has a great season we just take him back.

He now has to impress both Marseilles and Liverpool.

I think its a win win situation
