With French youg studs you cant go wrong.

Sidibe. Buy him as RB and put Roberto in midfield.

Sell Gomes and Vidal.

Which isn't even a big surprise as they regularly win the U-competitions with their sides. I bet that our scouts discovered (amongst others) Umtiti during one tournament. Generally, we should really scrutinize the French market in the future as I can't understand why we didn't buy Sidibé (excellent cost/performance ratio).

Nevertheless, the transfer of our possible next Puyi was one of our best during the last ten years. Can just congratulate the officials being involved.

Can't agree more your post. Sidibe had a rough start but has become an amazing addition to the AC Monaco squad. His play in defence and offence is excellent. Atm I rate him higher than any other young RB.

Young French CB's

What about Issa Diop that plays for Toulouse? I heard some good things about him and he's only 19 and he's 6'4.

although he's not french but Monaco's Jemerson is another solid one. he was considered one of best CB's in the Brazilian league before he was picked up by Monaco for 11 million. While Ligue 1 gets a lot of stick it does however contain a lot of good young talent.

With the success of Umtiti and Digne being mostly solid so far we should focus more on the French Market.

Other than that handball in the Super cup and perhaps that shove on Rodrigo in box vs Valencia I don't remember any other mistake Umtiti made that "Cost us".

He's 23 years old and their will be times he will show his inexperience. However the best thing about Umtiti so far he has shown that despite being young he looks comfortable and adapted quickly to a new system.
