The French Tunisian Connection 2: 'We didn't think it would take this long'

Blues centre back Bilel Mohsni has also been waiting for international clearance, this time the French FA, but he'll now be joining Adam Bouzid as up for selection against Port Vale. Bilel Mohsni: Move on Francis, Jean Christophe et al, here's the French new wave He's a tall lad, and the official website is quoted as calling the 22-year-old's performances in the pre-season games as 'commanding and passionate', but after an equal long wait to gain clearance as his team mate Adam Bouzid, , the French Football Association the guilty party this time around, he also got some match action in the Blues Two's match at Oxford Wednesday evening. In fact, he hit the bar, following up his winning headed goal from a corner against Eastbourne Borough.It would be surprising, but then you never know with Luggy, if he broke up the established central defensive pair of Mark Phillips and Luke Prosser so quickly, Luke especially will want to play against his old club on Saturday, but it can't be long before the French Tunisian centre-half, he played with French CFA-2 club Genevieve Sports last season, gets his chance.Young Luke was certainly looking tired towards the end against Aldershot last weekend, the obvious effects of the extra-time period against Bristol City the previous Tuesday, and another addition to the defensive squad can only help the Shrimpers.Anyway, back to Bilel, he told www.southendunited.co.uk: "I've always wanted to play in England and I'm so happy it's all been sorted out now. I'm looking forward to playing in front of bigger crowds and English football is quite rough, which I like. I can't wait to hopefully start playing in some games now and doing well for Southend."To catch up on what team mate Adam has to say on getting his clearance at last, go here:
