Having been preparing for a match towards the end of the transfer window, the Frenchman was sure a call from the Spanish giants was a wind up
Julien Faubert has revealed that he did not believe Real Madrid were interested in signing him when a representative first approached him, telling the club's agent that he didn't have time for his “bullsh*t” as he had an important match to prepare for with West Ham.
Faubert, a fan favourite at the Hammers' former Boleyn Ground home due to his ability to play in multiple positions, spent five years in London, with a short loan spell at Madrid sandwiched in between in the second half of the 2008-09 season.
