Ligue 1

France has no other choice than to attract investors.

Premier League steals all high potential players (except from Paris S.G.)

 

[TornAndFrayed]

kind of a surprising rumor with the huge fears on the riyad these days.

Was reading on Twitter Marseille fans were booing Lucas Silva when he was subbed off.

Seemed like a Promising player when he played in Brazil, But since Joined Real he hasn't lived up to his potential and I've read he hasn't been playing well at all for Marseille.

Jemerson of Atletico Mineiro is headed to Monaco:

According to L’Équipe, Monaco have reached a fee agreement with Atletico Mineiro to sign highly-rated central defender Jemerson.

The agreement is believed to be worth €11m plus bonuses. The player has already reached a provisional contract agreement with Monaco which is due to run for 5.5 years.

Jemerson’s representatives have told ESPN Brazil that their client will travel to France tomorrow for a medical with Monaco.

Very good pick up for a Monaco side that desperately needed reinforcements in the middle. Jemerson has been one of the top CB's of the Brasileirão for two seasons now so I have no doubt that he'll find success in the principality. I expect his value to triple.

So Newcastle and Sunderland bought Bordeaux's two best players (according to whoscored) Saviet and Khazri, thoughts?

 

[TornAndFrayed]

jean louis triaud (bordeaux president) is the cheapest club president of this past decade. That doesn't stop him from lashing out at his (remaining) players and his average coaches because he feels bordeaux could do better... lol.

Khazri is quality, don't know about the other.

 

[Jair Ventura]

Khazri is quality, don't know about the other.

Saviet is quality as well, was arguably Bordeaux's strongest player this season.

So Newcastle and Sunderland bought Bordeaux's two best players (according to whoscored) Saviet and Khazri, thoughts?

They bought Khazri for €2m not even two seasons ago while Saviet was a youth product that had been with the club for 14 years. They sold them for roughly €19m(€11m+€4m in add ons + €5m), which will/has afforded them 3 top prospects:



Malcom(€5m)

According to our colleagues at Sud Ouest, Bordeaux will be signing Brazilian attacker Malcom from Corinthians in a sensational deal designed to replace Wahbi Khazri who is will depart for Sunderland.

Bordeaux will pay €5m in order to obtain 50% of the rights of the player. As is often the case with promising South American talents, the ownership structure of the player is complex...

Arambarri (€3m)

According to Uruguayan daily Ovacion, defensive midfielder Mauro Arambarri of Defensor Sporting Club is set to join Ligue 1 side Bordeaux.

The Uruguayan youth international has agreed a 4.5 year provisional contract with Les Girondins. FCGB are understood to have agreed a fee for the player and a deal is close.

Arambarri is set to travel to France imminently.

Bernardoni(€3m)

Bordeaux have confirmed the arrival of young French goalkeeper Paul Bernardoni on loan from ESTAC Troyes until the end of the season, with an option to buy believed to be worth €3m.

I believe all but the Malcom deal is final, but if the LFP allows it and his deal goes through then Bordeaux will have done good business. In the end, if Sunderland(almost certain) and Newcastle are relegated then Khazri & Saviet will suffer the most from their departures.

Edit: Malcom deal is final as well

Outstanding move tbh. He's only 18 but he's held in similar esteem as Gabigol & Gabriel Jesus.

 

[ThwiX]

Finally a game where PSG isn't dominating completely. Yet.

 

[El Flaco]

After 23 matchdays, Paris Saint-Germain is only club in Ligue 1 with positive, double-digit goal difference. They're at 48, next club is at 9.

 

[Flavia]

24 points ahead? wow.

 

[Jair Ventura]

In quite a shocking deal, Arsenal right-back Mathieu Debuchy is set to join Bordeaux on loan until the end of the season without an option to buy, according to L’Équipe.

The deal really has come out of nowhere, with the player having been linked with Manchester United today as well as Aston Villa and Sunderland.

But, it appears that this is Debuchy’s destination for the rest of the season and make sense considering that sources close to FCGB had been saying for the last four days that they were working on something special.

Respect to Bordeaux for their window.

 

[TornAndFrayed]

I'll respect them the day they show anything above catatonia in Europe.

Prospect: Ousmane Dembélé

Sometimes you might have heard of a young player for a long time before they hit the finally hit the professional scene and other times, they seem to have spring totally out of nowhere. For new Rennes starlet Ousmane Dembélé, it has been as if someone has shot him out of a rocket and propelled him onto the Ligue 1 stage for all to see.

The 18-year-old joined the Brittany club back in 2010 but only signed his first professional contract in October 2015. A month later, the youngster made his debut for Rennes, coming on as a substitute for the final five minutes in the 2-0 win.
