Marseille wins out

It seems Olympique Marseille has won out in the Oguchi Onyewu sweepstakes. Marseille landed Gooch on Friday, according to reports.

Now, it's not Chelsea like many had speculated but Marseille and France is certainly a notch or three higher than Standard and Belgium. Playing for one of France's top clubs will only benefit Onyewu, perhaps even more than had he landed at Stamford Bridge.

Onyewu could step right in to Marseille's defense whereas a move to Chelsea could have prevented him from seeing a lot of playing time.

Onyewu is also under new management at the highest level. Seems Canadian businessman Jack Kachkar has bought Marseille for a cool 115 million Euros.
