Bamba impressed me a lot during his first appearances with Saint-Etienne, but then he had two disappointing loans (well, one very disappointing, the other one decent but not too impressive either). Came back to Saint Etienne and was a bit inconsistent (still managed to score a few goals though...

Yeah, I follow Ligue 1 pretty closely (I'm french), and I know Kamano quite well since I'm a Bordeaux fan ! I think I've talked about him somewhere else, but the short story is that he's a very interesting player in that he has a linear progression. Every year he gets a bit better at everything...

I really like Nicolas Pepe, but I can only agree: his best games are usually when he's on the right wing. Bielsa (when he coached Lille) tried to play him as a CF, and it wasn't working that well. Pepe himself said that he felt better on the right wing than as a CF. Although, you could argue...

I guess it depends on what you put behind each term, yes. You get my point though. I love both players: Dembele because he's a gem, a pretty funny kid, and a frenchie. Malcom because he brought joy to Bordeaux, and was a shining beacon of hope among a very average (to say the least) team when...

Malcom is not "better" (if you're only talking skill wise), nor more talented. He is cleverer and more hard working than Dembele though. I've said it when he signed for you guys: I'm fairly confident that Malcom is a more complete and mature player than Dembele right now, but Dembele can go much...

Yeah, I mean, how is the Barca ever gonna survive if they can only afford to spend 42 millions on a player the coach doesn't want ?

If you think Messi will make it to the top 3, you're delusional. Or twelve year old. Wait, are you the guy who said Malcom was supposed to play RB after two months here? If so, Never mind, you're both.

I don't even expect Messi to be 4th. He'll be behind at least two frenchies (Varane and Griezmann), Modric, CR, and possibly Mbappe. So 5th or 6th. I'm not arguing if it's fair or not, just stating the obvious, considering the way the votes usually go. And to anyone trying to argue that Iniesta...

With Falcao injured after 30mins, and Grandsir who got a red card less than 2 minutes after getting in. I'm sure he dreamt of a better start. Monaco probably has an awfuly weak squad this year. They already had trouble last year, but they sold another couple good players without finding equally...

He's been here 3 fucking months ! Hope you're gonna soon ask for Lenglet to "reinvent himself" and become a striker to "get a game here". Oh, and your point about "left footed player playing on the right" makes no sense. A left footed RW is pretty common. A left footed RB is almost unheard of...

Yup, my bad.

Buying a promising winger 42 millions right before a team which really wanted him was about to sign him, then thinking about turning him into a RW because he hasn't played in 2 months (including a couple weeks during which he was injured). Gotta love what football has become.

He established himself as a starter mostly because Sabaly (starting RB, who can fill in as a LB if needs be) and then Poundje (starting LB) got injured. His games range from pretty good (against Nantes a couple weeks ago for example, but Nantes is probably one of the 2 or 3 worst teams in the...

http://www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11668/11500709/ngolo-kante-spends-evening-with-fans-after-missing-train-to-paris He's a fucking legend. Period.

Great assist, but terrible game apart from tham ("L'Equipe" named him worst player of the game, despite the assist, which tells a lot). He's been very poor defensively. Let's hope he's learning. Sabaly (usual RB starter for us) is back from injury, but Poundje (LB starter) got injured during the...

:lol: Sure. He was involved in almost every good counter attack during the tournament with decisive link up in the middle, scored 4 goals (yeah yeah, penalties are super easy to score during a WC, everybody knows that sure, you have to be terrible to miss one during such a big tournament, right...

Regarding TV rights, this link sums it up: https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-france-soccer-auction/chinese-owned-group-wins-french-football-rights-canal-plus-empty-handed-idUKKCN1IU29O At 1.15 billion euros per season, Ligue 1 is gonna be on par with Serie A, well above Bundesliga. It's a 60%...

Of course you can't. For example, Ribéry became a star several years later than Robben, and there are examples of players exploding pretty late (Drogba is a perfect example). I was just mentioning that because of the direct comparison to Robbery.

Sprained ankle apparently, the news says he'll only be out one week.

When comparing him to Robbery, you might want to remember where they both were at Dembele's age. At 21, Robben was fairly good at Chelsea between two injuries, but he wasn't a monster yet. At 21, Ribéry was playing for Metz, and then for Galatasaray. He joined Bayern at 24, where he was an...
