N'soki has been good so far, yes. But it's still a huge gamble to have either him or Bernat as a starter when you want to win the UCL. And I'm pretty sure Mbappe will be the replacement for Cavani. He's shining as a winger, but imho it's as a 9 that he'll become the WC superstar he's bound to...

Of course, no team is perfect. But PSG had 2 LB last season (and they both were average): they sold one, and the other one's injured for several months. They're starting this season with a recruit who's been a Bayern substitue for the past 3 years, and a young player who never played in Ligue 1...

PSG will have trouble in UCL this season imho, because even on paper their team isn't good enough. Neymar-Cavani-Mbappe is probable the strongest offensive trio in Europe after Mané-Firmino-Salah, but their midfield is problematic (and they have an absolutely incredible lack of depht in that...

Seems you edited your post, because apparently (according to my mail notification at least) you said at first "Ibra used to score 40+ goals", which was obviously wrong but tend to prove you had false ideas about Ligue 1. Ibra scored more than 30 goals in Ligue 1 only once. His last season in...

PSG wins easily against a random Ligue 1 team: "this is a farmer's league, all those teams are shit, it's too easy for PSG" PSG struggles against a random Ligue 1 team: "PSG is shit, it should be a walkover against such shitty teams" You can't be right Jair. It took me over a month to give up...

Eric Bedouet, temporary coach for Bordeaux, after last night's game against Gent: "Little Sergi is a very special type of player. We are not used to seeing players like him in France. He's a fighter, he's a warrior, he does not let anything go. He is small in size but... And he knows all the...

Haven't been able to watch the game unfortunately, but apparently he had a pretty good game. Sabaly is back from injury though, so he's going to play less, but with Europa league games to play he'll still get a few games this season, no doubt.

Not much to read in that imho. He probably just doesn't know how to count past 7.

He's like the complete opposite of Benzema. He knows how to score, and he shoots from afar, but gosh, the only thing dumber than him on the pitch is probably the corner flag.

Well, it's official: Henry will not join Bordeaux. From what I've gathered, and as I've said yesterday, it was almost a done deal, but then Henry and his agent heard that there was bsically no plan B. Having the better hand, they asked for a substantially better offer from Bordeaux (not only...

I've read 40 + 10 "easy" bonus (number of appearances with Valencia) + 7 "harder" bonuses (high objectives for the player, and Valencia in LaLiga's top 3 at the end of the season, stuff like that).

Not as talented, but he's going places. Steady improvement since he joined Bordeaux, from very raw winger to pretty good winger/striker. He's scoring more and more, his positioning is getting good, and he even plays smartly when he's deep. Don't think he'll ever be world class (he's already...

As I mentionned in the Malcom thread, they're very different players. Malcom is already much more mature in his playstyle, and he can even play CAM. Dembele can't. Malcom links up pretty well with other players, and loves to initiates chances and counter attacks. Dembele is more about getting...

I agree, obviously. That was the general meaning of my first post. It's silly to just point out that number, especially since it's not even such a high one, considering his position and his playstyle. The fantasy league game I play (Mon Petit Gazon, they have a spanish league too, don't know if...

We're talking about a club that sold Anthony Martial for more than 50 millions 2 years after buying him for 5. They bought Pellegri 25 millions. I don't think they'll sell for less than a hundred, if they even sell.

He looked rather impressive, I have to admit. Our defender (19 year old Jules Kounde, probably one of the most promising young CB in Ligue 1 right now, Sevilla offered between 10 and 20 millions to sign him in July, Bordeaux declined the offer) did a huge mistake on that goal, but even apart...

It's Pascal Dupraz, former Toulouse coach yes. Do you mean his speech about the player's families, during which he showed several clips of wives/kids talking to his players ? Didn't know it was famous.

The numbers I posted come from a website that's usually pretty accurate. But keep in mind that any cross that doesn't arrive on a team mate is a lost ball, for example. Or any shot that's not on target. We're not just talking about disposessions. For example, against Valladollid, Dembele got...

The procedure is a bit complicated in France to sack someone. Poyet's been summoned to a preliminary interview after which he's basically suspended. You have to do that first, and then wait a few days before officially sacking your employee. From what I've gathered, it should become completely...

Watched it with some friends yesterday, don't think I got all of it, so can't really remember if he talked much about Barca, but the host seemed more interested by what he had to say about the French NT (which is pretty normal, considering it's a french show, and it's his first appearance since...
