Did he play for AC Milan last year?Vikash Dhorasoo (Paris St Germain)
If so, he can be fairly dangerous.
This is the team that beat the Ivory Coast 3-0:
Coupet, Thuram (Squillaci 24), Boumsong, Gallas, Sagnol, Dhorasoo, Makelele (Diarra 88), Zidane, Henry (Cisse 71), Wiltord (Trezeguet 80), Malouda (Rothen 71).
Subs Not Used: Landreau, Zebina, Givet, Vieira, Govou.
Vieira was injured.
Pires obviously hasn't made up with Domenech. I think that is good from our point of view.

Can anyone tell me about Dhorasoo & Malouda? I think I know enough about the rest to make a judgment.
I think some of our players are at least as good as any they have, in some cases actually better:
Given
Finnan
Duff
Roy Keane (who consistently did well against Vieira last year)
Robbie (at least as good as Wiltord).
Others in our set up are potentially good enough: Kilbane (MOTM in Paris), Carr (big game player?), Andy Reid if he's on form.
Thuram & Sagnol are good players but we should be far from in awe of them. Did Duff face Sagnol at all in Chelsea vs Bayern last year?
Boumsong is a bit of a Bobo Balde, strong but error prone.
Is Henry the same player away from Highbury? O'Brien has kept him scoreless a few times, though Henry has given Kenny C a few runarounds.
Dhorasoo is a top player. He played against Celtic for Lyon and Milan. Milan bought him from Lyon after an impressive season but couldn't get into the Milan team. He's very pacy. Plays anywhere in front of the midfield. Probably competing with Guily or Rotten for a place in the team.Originally Posted by Stuttgart88
Malouda also played against Celtic but don't remember him.
Probably just a freudian slip but a good one, re RothenOriginally Posted by eirebhoy
Malouda is a tricky left winger very highly rated!
