Nah, apparently he ended up twice in the Ballon d'Or top 3 just because he "scored a bunch of penalty" and has "a good PR team". That's also how he ended up being the most important offensive player or a NT who played a Euro final and won the WC. All that thanks to his ability to score...

Catalinutz is, I think, referring to an incident during a football talk show, where one of the pundits did talk about the romanians as "chicken thieves" or something like that (don't really see the best translation for the french expression but, yeah, it was bad). This caused an outrage. The...

Neymar was even worse. But yeah, he was very bad. This was probably the worst psg game at home in CL in a pretty long time. Leipzig was terrible too though, but damn...

If he's not a generational talent, who is, and what more than Mbappe have they done to prove it? Who, right now, has been a major element in a major win with his NT, has played a major role in his (Monaco, 2nd tier team at best) team reaching the CL semis, and has played a CL final? Yes, I know...

Don't waste your time, Wolfe. That dude's name is "fati future ballon d'or". I mean don't get me wrong, Fati is promising, but if he had done half the stuff Mbappe has already done, people here would absolutely lose their shit. But Mbappe seems Madrid bound so all of a sudden he's an overhyped...

Oh obviously he knows Zidane, I just mentioned that because you said that they both came up in Bordeaux. He knows it but I really don't see it being an influence on his career choice, that's what I meant but I probably wasn't really cristal clear sorry. Here's a link to a French interview in...

He never saw Zidane play for Bordeaux (he hardly saw Zidane play, considering his age). But he's a huge Varane fan, he said it a couple times already. That being said, never read anything about him necessarily being Madrid bound, and afaik he didn't go to City mainly because they didn't pay...

Goals against Sevilla: Without Kounde: 1.3 goal With Kounde: 0.9 goal So glad to see how good he's becoming. He'd probably already be playing for France NT (he's playing with the youth team rn) if not for the impressive number of good and established French DC. Still pretty sure he'll steal...

When exactly did Puig and Pedri have great performances in CL semis and/or against the likes of Juve, City or PSG? And when did they play their approx. 150 games in professional football? I think I missed that.

How funny is it that a guy named "Nostradamus" predicted on this board that Chelsea had 0 chance to sign him?

And it's still 20M now. It's almost as if... TM was not a fully reliable source and should not be blindly trusted.

'Member when people here thought Rakitic was worth "between 40 and 60M" last year when he was supposed to be included in the Neymar swap ? I 'member !

I don't see a world in which a Umtiti/Depay swap would happen. Depays earns 4.2M a year in Lyon, and he's their highest salary. Umtiti earns 7M a year here. Why on earth would he agree to go back to Lyon and divide his salary by two ? And why on earth would Lyon accept to give away their best...

According to L'Equipe, Leonardo called Messi's father to let him know that PSG is interested. Jorge Messi told him that his son had already made his choice and wanted to join City. L'Equipe is usually rather reliable.

Good lineup, but Dugarry should be a starter.

I'd say it's more Nzonzi, Rabiot or Sissoko who benefited from Pogba's forfeit (even though Nzonzi and Sissoko have made the team recently). Camavinga has 3 nationalities (Congo, Angola, France), it's a way to "secure" him for the future. He probably would have been called even with Pogba imho...

Rayan Cherki is Lyon's biggest offensive prospect, and their fans say he's supposed to be the next big thing. Very highly doubt Aulas would let him go anytime soon. They already sold Amine Gouiri for pretty cheap, and the guy scored twice on his first game with Nice. Fans are furious. Don't...

Came in today around the 60mn mark. Completely changed the game. Pretty uncanny for a 17yo, especially against a very decent Lille team. Rennes ended up with a draw, thanks to a Camavinga assist. He plays like he owns the pitch. Great control and vision, impressive changes of pace. Can't wait to...

It was Diego Carlos, not Kounde.

Bordeaux will get 20% of Kounde's next sale. So, yeah, don't expect Sevilla to sell him for cheap since they won't get the whole price to themselves... Impressive tonight, as he's been for the past couple months basically. Glad he's getting there. He's a smart person and an overall great dude...
